In the Imperial City, there are parks where little ones can run around and burn off some energy; a museum, Iluziona, which uses you, anyone who happens to be around, history and works of art to create mind-bending optical illusions; and routes specially designed to introduce younger members of the family to the joys of exploring new places. All this, together with the five experiences below, proves that Toledo with kids is an absolute yes.

Located around a 10-minute drive from Toledo, Puy du Fou is one of those places where you can step back into history. The shows at this theme park are truly spectacular, using costumes, sets and music to transport you into the past.

Everything here is on a grand scale: vast stages, special effects designed to stir the emotions and journeys through centuries of history. And that is just what happens on stage. Away from the performances, you will not find conventional shops, but rather merchants' stalls selling jewellery, swords, maps, hats and food fit for kings and nobles.

They are not particularly interested in 21st-century architecture either. Instead, you will find medieval inns where you can take a break; tents and stalls arranged to resemble a genuine Moorish camp from the time of Abd al-Rahman III; and the Puebla Real, the artisans' village, built from stone and timber. If you visit in autumn, it is best to check the official calendar beforehand, as opening days and times may vary depending on the date.

And we mean that quite literally. You will fly over the River Tagus with the beauty of its natural surroundings beneath your feet. Fly Toledo is the name of the zip line that crosses the river from one bank to the other, next to the San Martín Bridge.

The starting point is at number 2, Bajada de San Martín, beside the bridge itself, which will remain in view throughout your ride; the finish is on Carretera de Navalpino.

There is no minimum age for the experience, although participation requirements depend on each person's weight. The helmet, harness and pulley are provided on site. Before you go, it is worth checking the latest participation requirements, opening times and prices.

And use each one as an opportunity to uncover secrets and curiosities and learn about Toledo's former inhabitants, as well as the famous figures who once walked its streets.

That is exactly what Los Guardianes de Toledo and Los Guardianes de la Judería de Toledo allow you to do. These two downloadable PDF guides are packed with puzzles and challenges that turn sightseeing around the city into a game.

It is all about walking, paying attention, following the clues and making the odd note as you solve the different challenges while discovering Toledo as a family. Before you begin, you can check the latest information on the city's official tourism channels.

So close that, at times, the water will be just a few centimetres away from you. Watching the river flow, explaining to the little ones where the water comes from and where it is going, discovering the local flora and counting the birds you spot along the way are just some of the things you can do on the Tagus Ecological Trail.

The route is around five kilometres long and can be walked in full or in sections. Along the way, you will see the hill on which Toledo stands from river level, look up at imposing stone walls, come across archaeological remains, pass beneath the city's bridges or simply stop to enjoy the peace and quiet in one of the many beautiful spots along the trail.

The Army Museum in particular, where a range of activities are organised to help younger visitors understand that the objects they see there once formed part of our past.

Its family programme includes activities such as family museum visits, storytelling sessions, puppet theatre and workshop visits, which change throughout the year. In 2026, the museum continues to offer these kinds of activities for families, although the dates, times and themes vary from month to month.

So, before your trip to Toledo, it is worth checking the museum's programme to see which activities coincide with your visit. Because yes, museums can be for kids too.

After all that travelling through time, crossing the Tagus and solving puzzles, it is time for a well-earned rest. And preferably without straying too far from everything Toledo has to offer. If you want to explore mainly on foot, Sercotel Toledo Imperial, opposite the Alcázar and around five minutes from the Cathedral, and Sercotel Alfonso VI, right in the historic centre and just a short walk from both landmarks, put many of the city's must-see sights within easy reach.

Another option is Sercotel Toledo Renacimiento, located around a five-minute walk from the Puerta de Bisagra and offering private parking, which is especially convenient if you are travelling to Toledo by car with the whole family. Three different starting points so that, the next morning, all you have to decide is which new Toledo adventure to enjoy with the kids.
