This weekend itinerary focuses on combining Split's fantastic permanent family attractions with free outdoor fun, ensuring a memorable and budget-conscious experience for families.

We've balanced interactive learning with active play, considering early bedtimes and kid-friendly dining.

Begin your weekend with a relaxed stroll through the historic Diocletian's Palace and the charming streets of Split's Old Town.
Kids can enjoy exploring the ancient ruins and imagining life in Roman times. Don't forget to rub the shiny toe of the Grgur Ninski statue near the Golden Gate for good luck – it's a fun tradition for children!
Perfect for all ages. The Old Town is pedestrian-friendly, though some cobbled streets might be challenging for strollers. Public restrooms are available. Kids will love the narrow alleys and the 'magical' statue rubbing. Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours.
Easily accessible on foot from anywhere in the city center. Limited parking available in surrounding areas, but public transport (buses) drops off nearby.
Enjoy a casual, budget-friendly family dinner at a local pizzeria.
Split has numerous options that cater to families with delicious pizzas, pastas, and a relaxed atmosphere.
Kids always love pizza! Many pizzerias offer child-friendly seating and can prepare simpler dishes. Early timing allows for children's bedtimes. Restrooms available at the restaurant. Duration: 1 hour.
Within walking distance from the Old Town. Easy access for strollers.
Spend the morning exploring Marjan Forest Park, often called the 'lungs of the city.' Head to one of the family-friendly playgrounds like the Children's Town or the playground at Park Zvončac. Enjoy the fresh air, pine forests, and stunning views of Split and the Adriatic Sea. Kids can run, climb, and play freely.
Ideal for energetic kids of all ages. The park offers shaded areas, walking paths, and beautiful scenery for parents. Bring snacks and water. Public restrooms are available near key points like Bene Beach. Duration: 2-3 hours.
Accessible by walking from the city center (a bit uphill), by public bus (various lines go towards Marjan), or taxi. Limited parking is available on Marjan Hill. Coastal paths are suitable for strollers.
Immerse yourselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Split's Central Green Market, 'Pazar.
' Browse stalls overflowing with fresh local fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Grab some fresh produce, local cheese, and bread for an impromptu picnic lunch in a nearby park (like Strossmayer Park). It's a great way to experience local life and enjoy affordable, fresh food.
Saturday is the busiest day, offering the best selection but also more crowds. Kids will enjoy the colors and smells, and picking out their own healthy snacks. Market sellers mostly operate in the morning, so visiting before 1-2 PM is best. Duration: 1-1.5 hours.
Located right next to Diocletian's Palace, easily walkable from the city center. Stroller accessible pathways within the market. Public parking is available in nearby garages.
Dive into a world of illusions and sensory experiences at the Museum of Senses Split.
This interactive museum features mind-bending exhibits, holograms, and installations that challenge perception, providing a fun and educational experience for all ages. It's a fantastic indoor option, perfect for stimulating curious minds.
Recommended for kids aged 3-12, offering hands-on exhibits that engage all senses. Great for a rainy day alternative. Restrooms available. Allow 1.5 - 2 hours. Booking online might offer skip-the-line benefits.
Located in the city center, easily walkable from the market. Public parking garages are available nearby.
After a day of exploration, head back to Marjan Hill for a relaxing early evening at Bene Beach.
This family-friendly pebble beach offers playgrounds and cafes. Even in November, it's a lovely spot for kids to play in the sand (weather permitting) or simply enjoy the sunset views over the Adriatic while parents relax with a drink.
The playgrounds are suitable for younger children. Cafes offer refreshments and snacks. Facilities include public restrooms and changing areas. A perfect way to wind down the day. Duration: 1.5 - 2 hours.
Accessible by bus (e.g., line 12 from Riva), by bike, or a scenic walk through Marjan Forest Park. Parking is available nearby, but can be limited.
Visit the Natural History Museum and its charming small zoo.
While the main zoo closed, it still features domestic animals like goats, donkeys, and horses that children can interact with and even feed. The museum offers engaging exhibits highlighting local wildlife, making it an educational and delightful experience for young animal lovers.
Perfect for younger children (3-8) who enjoy animals. Kids can buy food bags to feed the animals for a small extra fee. Restrooms are available. Open until 1:00 PM on Saturdays, but closed on Sundays. It would be an option for Saturday if Museum of Senses is too pricey/busy, or check for special Sunday openings. As Sunday opening is stated as closed for the zoo part, and limited on Saturday, I'll adjust to Saturday if possible or make it a library visit if it doesn't fit in the schedule. The search results state the Natural History Museum and Zoo is closed on Sundays. I will replace this with an alternative and move Froggyland here. Froggyland is open daily 10 AM-10 PM.
Located on Marjan Hill, reachable by a pleasant walk from the city center or by bus. Limited parking available.
Step into the whimsical world of Froggyland, a truly unique museum featuring over 500 taxidermied frogs arranged in human-like scenes. From frogs playing tennis to attending school, these quirky dioramas are sure to captivate and amuse children and adults alike. It's a light-hearted and memorable indoor attraction.
Great for kids who enjoy quirky and unusual displays. Provides a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Facilities are available. Plan for about 1 hour. Open daily 10 AM to 10 PM.
Centrally located, easily accessible on foot from Diocletian's Palace area. Public parking available nearby.
Conclude your weekend with a leisurely stroll and play time along Split's famous Riva Promenade. Kids can enjoy the wide-open space, watch the boats, and maybe even chase pigeons. Grab an ice cream or a pastry from a nearby shop for a sweet treat before heading home and preparing for the week ahead.
A relaxed and enjoyable way to end the weekend. Plenty of space for kids to run around safely. Numerous cafes and ice cream parlors line the promenade. Public restrooms available. Duration: 1-1.5 hours.
