3 Enjoyable and Educational Places for Children in the Başakşehir Area

Three stops in Başakşehir that are both fun and educational for children: Moi Park, the 400 thousand year old Yarımburgaz Cave and Şamlar Nature Park.

The social spaces a child spends time in during their growing years and the activities they take part in are quite important for discovering their talents. We have gathered three stops in the Başakşehir area that are both educational and fun for young visitors.

Moi Park

With many games and activities the whole family can join, Moi Park is a fantastic entertainment centre for children with its 15 different concepts. It is a stop where children can socialise and enjoy the whole day with their families.

Yarımburgaz Cave

This historically very important cave is located in the Başakşehir district. For families who want to give their children a historical experience, there is no need to go far: with its 400 thousand year past, the cave has the distinction of being one of Türkiye's oldest settlements.

Şamlar Nature Park

In this park set within greenery you can take a bike ride and go for a nature walk, and make use of the camping and picnic areas as well as orienteering. With its restaurant and cafés, it is also well suited to spending the whole day. It is an unmatched option especially for shaking off the intense school pace and the fatigue of the week.

In brief
