Marrakech is one of Morocco’s most vibrant and exciting cities, and it’s not just for adults! This magical destination is full of colourful sights, rich history, and fun experiences that kids will love. Whether your little explorers are interested in animals, tasty food, or adventure, Marrakech has something to offer every member of the family. Here’s a guide to help make your trip to Marrakech an unforgettable experience for kids!
Marrakech is home to some beautiful gardens that are perfect for a relaxing stroll or a fun family picnic. A visit to ‘Jardin Majorelle’ is a must. This stunning garden, once owned by French painter Jacques Majorelle, is filled with exotic plants, bright blue buildings, and peaceful fountains. It’s a perfect place for kids to run around, enjoy nature, and take in the colours and scents of the garden. You might even spot some parrots flying overhead!
If your kids enjoy more open space and adventure, head over to ‘Jardin Menara’, a huge garden with orchards and a big, beautiful reflecting pool. It’s a great spot for a family outing where kids can explore and spot some local wildlife.
One of the most exciting parts of Marrakech is its old town, or ‘Medina’. This bustling area is a maze of narrow streets, where you’ll find vibrant markets called ‘souks’. The sights and sounds are like nothing else! Kids can watch craftsmen at work, making everything from colourful rugs to silver jewellery. They’ll love seeing snake charmers, street performers, and donkeys trotting through the streets.
The ‘Jemaa el-Fnaa square’, the heart of the Medina, is especially exciting in the evening when food stalls open up, and the square becomes alive with performers, storytellers, and musicians. It’s an experience that will feel like stepping into a magical storybook!

What better way for kids to experience the Moroccan desert landscape than by taking a camel ride. Just outside the city, in the ‘Palmeraie’, you can hop on a friendly camel and take a ride through the palm groves. It’s a unique way to see the desert and get a feel for the Moroccan countryside. Kids will love the idea of riding a camel and parents will enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Marrakech has several museums that are fun and educational for kids. One of the best is the ‘Marrakech Museum’, housed in a beautiful old palace. The museum features art, cultural artifacts, and even interactive exhibits that kids can enjoy. The ‘Museum of Islamic Art’ at the ‘Palais Bahia’ is another great option, showcasing intricate architecture and stunning mosaics.
For something a bit different, take the kids to the ‘Dar Si Said Museum’, where they can see traditional Moroccan furniture and learn about the country’s rich artistic heritage.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience beyond the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, the ‘Agafay Desert’ offers a peaceful and unique escape. Located just a short drive from the city, this semi-arid desert landscape is the perfect place for families seeking adventure, relaxation, and a taste of Morocco’s natural beauty. Whether you’re exploring the dunes on a camel ride, enjoying stargazing, or experiencing traditional Berber culture, Agafay provides a memorable setting for kids and adults alike.
Marrakech has several water parks, perfect for a day of fun and relaxation. The ‘Oasiria Water Park’ is one of the best family-friendly destinations in the area. It’s filled with thrilling water slides, wave pools, and relaxing lazy rivers, making it an ideal spot for kids to burn off some energy while cooling off.
No visit to Marrakech is complete without tasting the delicious food, and kids will have a blast trying the unique flavors. Start with some freshly squeezed orange juice from one of the many stalls in Jemaa el-Fnaa—it’s a refreshing treat!
For lunch or dinner, try tagine, a slow-cooked stew that comes in many varieties, from chicken to lamb to vegetables. Kids will love the unique flavours and tender meats. Don’t forget about Moroccan pastries! From baklava to chebakia, there are plenty of sweet treats to enjoy.
These are just some of the family friendly experiences that ‘Morocco With Kids’ can provide during your trip, but we are happy to accommodate any requests you may have. Where families’ plans align with each other, we will aim to organise excursions as a group, so adults have company and children can play together.
