Unforgettable plans with children in Gijón this weekend

If you are looking to enjoy quality family time, Gijón offers a packed agenda of proposals for this weekend, April 18th and 19th. From workshops in the heart of nature to children's theater, we have selected the best activities for both young and old to share magical moments.

Nature and family learning

Taking advantage of the outdoors is the best way to connect with the little ones while they discover the environment around them. These activities combine play with environmental education in the city's privileged spaces.

This practical workshop is ideal for children aged 4 and up who want to learn the secrets of agriculture. During the session, families will work together on soil preparation, planting, and crop care. It is a collaborative activity perfect for enjoying spring at the Botanical Garden.

This play, aimed at children aged 5 and up, addresses the theme of absence through the story of Nina and her memories. It is an emotional and tender journey that uses everyday objects to explain complex concepts in an accessible way. A high-quality cultural proposal to enjoy at Laboral Ciudad de la Cultura.
