It’s vacation time. Your little one is turning the living room into the Bernabeu stadium while your eldest is reenacting the finale of Dancing with the Stars in her bedroom… Are you at loss for how to keep them occupied? Don’t worry, we have five ideas for kids activities of all ages that should give you a breather!
Taking the kids out for ice cream, check. A beach day, check. A trip to the park, check. The holidays have just started, and you already feel like you’ve exhausted all your options? Not so fast! We’ve got some great spots for you! In recent years, kid-friendly activity venues have been popping up all around Casablanca and its surrounding areas, each more unique than the last. Some even offer weekly summer camp programs for working parents who need childcare solutions. Here are our top picks.
For the Sporty Ones: VGK Village
Located just outside Mohammedia, on the road to Ben Slimane, VGK Village spans 9 hectares dedicated to outdoor sports. Among the activities offered for kids, karting and bubble football are a hit with the boys, while the girls tend to prefer the high ropes course. They can also try their hand at archery or simply lounge by the pool, chatting with friends. Younger kids are not left out; they can have a blast in the play area filled with bouncy castles, trampolines, and swings. Some may opt for a pony ride, while the more adventurous ones, aged 6 and up and at least 1.30m tall, can hit the tracks on mini-motorbikes! It’s a paradise for super active kids!

For Little Engineers: Amuzeum
As its name suggests, Amuzeum allows kids to learn while having fun. Located in Dar Bouazza, this discovery haven lets children become archaeologists for a day, construction site managers, or even airplane pilots (yes, with a real flight simulator!). Throughout the day, kids engage in various experiments. A jump on a trampoline propels them into the Milky Way, a pedal push lights up a bulb, and more.At the mini-market, they practice shopping like grown-ups, while the music kiosk lets them play with instruments. Here, touching everything is not only allowed but encouraged. And the cherry on top: there’s a pool to cool off in, and the summer camp runs through August. What more could you ask for?
