We will tell you about interesting children's entertainment in Batumi and its cost.
The best place for a summer vacation with children is the seaside. To give your child a great boost of energy and health during the summer break, it's best to bring them to Georgia. The soft subtropical climate, bright sun, warm sea, and fresh mountain air can easily be provided by one of the most popular Georgian resorts, Batumi.
With children on the beach
The best beaches are not in the city itself but in the suburban areas. Therefore, parents often prefer to take their children to the beach near the Alphabet Tower, also known as the breakwater. It is located in the Boni district, near the fish market. There are fewer waves there, making it safer for the little ones to swim.
While enjoying the beaches of Batumi, you can take advantage of the beach equipment rental service and rent sun umbrellas and loungers.
Children's Entertainment
You can ensure fun outings for children by taking them to large playgrounds. One of them is located on the New Boulevard, and the second one is near the central dancing fountains. Entry is free, and the playgrounds offer a wide variety of exciting activities:
Sculptures of favorite cartoon characters – perfect photo opportunities;
Green lawns with soft grass, ideal for lying down and relaxing;
Slides and climbing walls on colorful rubber flooring;
Swings, hammocks, and hopscotch games drawn directly on the pavement;
The Labyrinth of Wishes, laid out with neat sea pebbles;
Inflatable bouncy castles;
A Ferris wheel;
Rental of four-wheeled bikes with a child seat and a sunshade.
