Family Outings in Agadir

What activities are there to do with children in Agadir?

Location: Center of Agadir

You will be spoiled for choices for your family outings in and around Agadir: Paradise Valley, Dinosaur Tracks, Nile Crocodiles, Antelopes & Ostriches, Parks and Beaches.

PARADISE VALLEY: NATURAL POOLS

Located in the mountain range overlooking Agadir, the Paradise Valley (30.587866, -9.531845) is part of the valley of the Tamraght river crossing the foothills of the Western High Atlas. Located about 25-30 km north of Agadir, the valley is known for natural pools and waterfalls.

It is an idyllic setting, which we recommend you visit during your stay in the region. It is a mountainous area easily accessible for all ages.

 

How to get there:

From Agadir, take the N1 road towards Tamraght / Aourir (swimming beach break possible). At the roundabout (30.497386, -9.672650) turn right, the 2 roads lead to Tamzargout. Continue on to the Paradise Valley car park (30.587866, -9.531845) where you will leave your car.

Paradise Valley and its natural pools are a short, simple 30 minute hike away. A sign indicates the direction of the footpath which takes you to the natural pools (30.589002, -9.525032). Make sure the site  is kept clean.

IN THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE DINOSAURS OF ANZA BEACH

North of Agadir, a few kilometers from the city center, is the town of Anza. This is where more than 200 tridactyl (three digits pointing forward) footprints of dinosaurs on the seafront have been discovered. Initial investigations have revealed that this new site is of paramount importance for scientists.

According to experts, the passage of dinosaurs there dates back 85 million years. It is the first place of its kind in Morocco of the upper Cretaceous age and more precisely the Santonian. Check the tides because you have to go at low tide to see them!

How to get there:

 From Agadir Center, head north via the N1 road and you will find Anza Beach at point: 30.445833, -9.660833. It will take 15 minutes by car.

SENSATIONS GUARANTEED AT CROCOPARC

More than 300 Nile crocodiles, some of which reach over 3 meters in length, roam freely in a perfectly secure botanical garden. Giant tortoises and iguanas basking in the sun can also be seen here. Games, obstacle courses and the famous nursery where many baby crocodiles have already been born will delight your children.

Crocoparc (30.388357, -9.483657) is located slightly outside Agadir. You can reach it by taking the N8 road and heading for the Agadir-Marrakech motorway. The Park is located 20 minutes by car from the Corniche d’Agadir. You can’t miss it as the entrance is a giant crocodile head.
