Pau as a family, kids will love it | Pau Pyrénées Tourisme

1,2,3, let's have some fun!

On vacation or at the weekend, children never get bored… But they like to get moving. So we’ve put together a small selection of activities and sports that are sure to please them. And we’re sure that some parents will quickly rediscover their inner child! Just what you need for a good laugh…

1. Spend yourself

For stuntmen’s apprentices: Positive Park (Trampoline Park, Ninja Warrior Park, Kids Park and Laser Game), a real romp with modules, Dunk Zone lanes, combat beam or Jump Academy, a trampoline park and 12 other activities, including a mega ramp and a virtual reality area.
Climbing the walls: Bêta-Bloc and its 630 m2 of climbing surface, with or without rope and for all ages. We’ve even seen parents trying it out!
For adventure: Tèrra Aventura in Pau, Lescar and Bosdarros. A pair of sneakers, a smartphone and off you go! A free, life-size treasure hunt based on enigmas, ideal for discovering things while having fun.

2. All on the water

The Parc Aquasports des Eaux-vives in Pau offers a full range of water sports (rafting, kayaking, hydrospeed tubbing or standup paddle). You don’t need any equipment, just your swimsuit and towel. And best of all, it’s just a stone’s throw from the town center, in the railway station district.
At the Pont d’Espagne whitewater base, the Pau Canoë Kayak Club Universitaire offers two different options: self-guided rental or a descent with an instructor.
