A family holiday in Rapallo with children means building sandcastles, cheerful laughter, games on the beach and in the sea, tasting delicious ice cream and local desserts, as well as various sea and land excursions.
In Rapallo, a holiday with children can be perfectly combined with a visit to the adventure park Indian Forest, located 35 km from the resort in the middle of the Sturla Valley in the village of Belpiano. The park features a system of exciting routes. This is one of the best places to enjoy an active holiday with kids in Rapallo — rock climbing, riding, jumping, and moving along rope trails between trees will leave lasting memories. All forest attractions operate under strict safety rules, and children are supervised by instructors. This type of family holiday is suitable for children from 5 years old, accompanied by adults. The park also includes a tourist center, football field, bike paths, and a playground. The trip from Rapallo to Indian Forest by car takes about 50 minutes.
Another fascinating place to visit with kids is the La Cipressa mill complex, which also serves as a museum of rural culture. It is located in the nearby village of San Maurizio di Monti, accessible via Via Betti.
The museum preserves the lifestyle of an Italian family who founded it on their estate. The mill was built in the 17th century. Address: Strada Antica di Monti 16. The complex is open by reservation for groups of at least 5 people (usually every third Sunday of the month). Ticket price: 7 EUR. Children under 5 enter free of charge.
A trip to the Pratorondanino riding center, located on the plateau of the same name near Genoa, 60 km from Rapallo, is also a great addition to a family holiday. The center offers horseback riding lessons and scenic trail rides.
