Located on the Istria Peninsula in Croatia, the historic town of Pula is famous for its well-preserved Roman heritage. While history may interest older kids, the little ones could find this boring. However, the city has plenty of kid-friendly attractions for the whole family to enjoy this coming summer. Here we explore three of the best things for families to do in Pula, Croatia.
1. AquaPark Pula, Svjetionik Beach

Once in the park, families can retake the challenges as often as they wish. However, it should be noted that zipline rides are limited to only once per person.

3. Family-friendly Ambrela Beach
Located on the outskirts of Pula, Ambrela is one of the best beaches for families thanks to its calm waves and stretch of clean sand. The AquaPark mentioned earlier can be seen close to the shore, while kids have access to a playground with a trampoline right on the beach.
For older kids and parents, Jetskis and motor boats can be rented on the beach and for this reason, part of the beach has been defined as a swimming area, safe from motorized water sports. Other facilities on Ambrela Beach include sunbeds for rent, public showers and convenient parking.
