With kids, add Palma Aquarium with its indoor play area and more ideas from our list Mallorca with kids.

Closed in severe weather: Castell de Bellver in Palma closes when the city shuts its parks because of the weather (Castell de Bellver). That makes it an unreliable choice for a really wet day.

How we chose

We only included places that are fully or partly indoors and for which an official website gives the price and opening times, spread across caves, museums, a market hall, a railway and wineries. The caves come first because rain makes no difference there, followed by places with the most up-to-date prices. Several museums in Palma, including the Cathedral and CaixaForum, are missing because we only know their prices from a 2024 brochure. We give the date we checked and review the list regularly.
