Activities for Children to Enjoy in Kadıköy

A full day with children in Kadıköy: Moda Seafront, VR Center, the Children’s Art Centre, Halis Kurtça Cultural Centre and Muzipo Kids.

Kadıköy is a lively district on the Anatolian Side of İstanbul, visited by people of all ages thanks to its central location and easy access. For those who want to spend a full day with their children, we have gathered five stops.

Moda Seafront

Ideal for family picnics, cycling and walking in fine weather, Moda Seafront offers wide park areas where children can play. Spending time on the grass where green meets blue, facing the sea, is a delightful option for families with children.

VR Center Kadıköy

At this centre where virtual reality meets play, children step into brand new worlds with VR headsets. With single player and two to four player game options, it offers an unforgettable experience for children.

Kadıköy Municipality Children’s Art Centre

Encouraging art and sport in children through dance, painting, music and drama workshops together with a sports academy, the centre supports social and cultural development. Research shows that, even at a hobby level, these workshops have a positive psychological effect on children and improve their success in life.

Halis Kurtça Cultural Centre

Established to develop children’s creativity as well as their visual, musical and drama skills, the centre offers creative drama, mini philosophy, creative dance and rhythm, along with clay and handcraft workshops. These workshops are free of charge, and you can benefit from them by making a reservation at least five days before the workshop date.

Muzipo Kids

With play for ages 18 to 48 months, activities for ages 3 to 5, and sports and workshop programmes for ages 5 to 12, Muzipo Kids invites children away from technology and into movement, with the motto "healthy generations that grow by moving".

In brief

  • Kadıköy offers five different experiences, from the seafront to the arts.
  • Art and cultural centres are often free of charge.
  • Movement based programmes provide an alternative to technology.
