Real data, not a brochure
From our Costa Dorada guide: every age band, every month, every park with a drive time.
By age
- 0–2: Hotels provide cots at no extra charge and under-2s stay free, but the heat and queues are hard going; the beach is the easier day.
- 3–6: Sesamo-area rides at PortAventura Park and Ferrari Land's Kids' Tower suit them, plus hotel pools with children's sections.
- 7–12: A strong age, with Caribe Aquatic Park slides and the park's bigger rides becoming available as they pass height limits.
- 13–17: Furius Baco, Shambhala and Dragon Khan coasters suit teenagers, plus the Pole Position Challenge simulator with a 1.40 m minimum height.

Questions parents ask
Is it really free?
Yes. Matching, every destination and resort guide, the park distances and your day-by-day plan are free, with no account. We earn a commission if you book a hotel or tickets through our partner links, at no cost to you. The optional Family Pass (€29 a year) adds planning extras to every plan; nothing free is held back for it.
How do you pick the resorts?
For a resort to make our list it has to work for families: family rooms or suites for four, pools that suit children, and usually a kids' club. We read each resort's official website and write down the kids' club ages, room sizes and the honest downside. Where the resort's site doesn't say, we leave it blank instead of guessing.
How do you score a destination for my kids' ages?
Each destination has a score for babies (0–2), little ones (3–6), kids (7–12) and teens (13–17), with a one-line reason. When you tell us your children's ages, the place has to work for your youngest and your oldest, so the weakest fit counts double.
Are the drive times exact?
No. They are typical minutes by car from the main family base, rounded to five. Traffic in school holidays can add a lot, and we say so where it matters.
What does the month score mean?
It weighs the weather for children (heat, rain, sea temperature, hurricanes) against crowds and prices in school holidays. 'Best' means both are on your side.
Do you sell holidays?
No. We are not a travel agent. You book directly with the hotel or partner site, under their terms.
