Mallorca with Kids: Dinosaurland & Caves of Hams Combined Ticket
Porto Cristo makes an ideal family day out: short walking distances, clear signage, and plenty of places to eat nearby. The combined ticket keeps logistics easy — first, an open-air trail through a prehistoric park; next, a cool descent into one of the island’s most beautiful cave systems.
Stop 1: Dinosaurland (Roars, Footprints & Photo Ops)
Dinosaurland is a landscaped loop dotted with life-size models that kids can compare against their own footsteps. Expect T-rex grins, long-necked sauropods, and smaller species tucked among pines. Panels explain timelines in simple language, and shaded benches break up the walk for toddlers and grandparents alike.
For language lovers, it’s a stealth lesson: learn dinosaurio (dinosaur), huella (footprint), carnívoro, herbívoro, and extinción. Turning a day trip into vocabulary makes memories stick.
Stop 2: Caves of Hams (Blue Chambers & Underground Music)
A short drive or transfer away, the Caves of Hams reveal a different Mallorca: delicate “fishhook” stalactites, lake reflections, and galleries lit to enhance natural forms. The route is guided and paced, so families move together with time to photograph highlights without crowding the walkways.
The signature moment is the underground lake show — soft music, quiet light, and ripples that mirror the cave ceiling. It’s brief, gentle, and captivating for most ages.
Route, Timing & Food
Many families spend 60–90 minutes in Dinosaurland and about an hour in the caves, plus breaks. If you’re visiting mid-day, plan lunch before the cave tour — eating options cluster around Porto Cristo’s marina, with easy choices like grilled fish, pa amb oli, and kid-friendly menus.
Learning on the Go
Pair the outing with bite-size Spanish practice: count the dinosaurs, name colors and sizes, or keep a simple travel diary. If you’re in Mallorca for longer, an intensive course builds confidence fast, so ordering lunch after the caves feels as natural as pointing at a T-rex.
Why This Combo Works
Contrast keeps kids engaged. The open light of the park balances the hush of the cave; outdoor energy meets indoor wonder. And because both attractions are close, you spend more time exploring and less time in transit.
