Places Where Children Can Spend Time in Büyükçekmece

Three stops to make the most of limited time with children in Büyükçekmece: the World Costumes Museum, Büyükçekmece Sahili and Aqua Marine.

In İstanbul's busy pace, the time parents spend with their children can be limited. For those who want to make the most of that time, we have gathered three stops in the Büyükçekmece area, across different categories, where children can spend enjoyable and rewarding time.

Büyükçekmece World Costumes Museum

Displaying more than 500 costumes from Türkiye and many countries around the world, the museum draws interest with the costumes in their original forms. Taking on an important role in introducing cultural values and passing them on to future generations, the museum especially increases young visitors' interest in folk dances.

Büyükçekmece Sahili

Especially on summer evenings, it is a delightful place for children and their families. Along a shore with the sea on one side and cafés on the other, you can take long walks and enjoy a short journey on the nostalgic train. In certain areas of the shore, swimming in the sea is also possible.

Büyükçekmece Aqua Marine

Open on summer days with its many fun water slides and activities, the water park features numerous slides and pools. With a capacity of 3,000 visitors, the park also has an area set aside for celebrations such as birthdays, along with small events organised on certain days. With its structure that encourages water sports, it is a favourite of families with children.

In brief

  • Büyükçekmece brings together culture, the sea and fun.
  • The costume museum is a stop that keeps cultural curiosity alive.
  • The shore and the water park are an enjoyable family option in the summer months.
