Things to do · Agadir
Agadir's easy beach and gentle climate make it Morocco's most family-friendly resort, and the wider Souss area backs that up with crocodiles, gardens, valleys and theme parks within an easy drive. Here are the best things to do in and around Agadir with children, anchored by the popular Crocoparc.

On the road out of the city near Drarga, Crocoparc is a landscaped botanical garden built around hundreds of Nile crocodiles in pools and basins, with cacti, bamboo and exotic plants along shaded walkways — the region's signature family attraction.
Beyond the crocodiles, Crocoparc is a genuine garden of around 300 plant species, from giant cacti to orchids, with a playground and cafe. It works as a relaxed half-day even for those less keen on the reptiles.
The sheltered city bay is calm and shallow enough for paddling, with camel rides, beach football and ice cream along the promenade. Reliable sunshine makes it the default family hub of the resort.
A small, free city park strung along a former riverbed, the 'Valley of the Birds' has aviaries, a few animals and shaded paths in the middle of Agadir — a handy break for young children between other outings.
Just north of the city, the lush banana plantations around Aourir give the 'Banana Village' its name. Roadside stalls sell bananas and fresh juice, and it pairs naturally with a trip up to Paradise Valley.
About an hour inland, this palm-fringed gorge has natural pools for swimming and gentle cliff jumps. Older children love the cool water and the short scramble between pools on a hot day.
South of the city, this coastal park is home to flamingos, the rare bald ibis and a reserve of reintroduced gazelle and oryx — a gentle wildlife day for families who like binoculars over rollercoasters.
Operators around Agadir and the nearby dunes and argan forest run short, kid-friendly camel rides and supervised quad and buggy trips, giving an easy taste of adventure close to the resort.
A roadside argan co-operative makes a quick, hands-on stop where children can watch women crack the nuts and grind the oil — a small, memorable window onto the Souss region's most famous product.
Very. Agadir is Morocco's most family-friendly resort, with a long sheltered beach, calm shallow water, reliable sunshine and attractions like Crocoparc, the Vallée des Oiseaux and Paradise Valley all within an easy drive.
Crocoparc is a botanical garden and crocodile park just outside Agadir, home to hundreds of Nile crocodiles set among hundreds of plant species, with shaded walkways, a playground and a cafe — one of the area's top family days out.
Besides the beach and Crocoparc, families can visit the Vallée des Oiseaux city park, swim in Paradise Valley's rock pools, spot wildlife in Souss-Massa National Park, and try short camel or quad rides around the resort.
Crocoparc sits just outside Agadir near Drarga, only a short drive of around 15 to 20 minutes from the city centre, making it an easy half-day outing combined with an argan co-operative or Banana Village stop.
