What are family-friendly things to do near Antalya with kids without much driving (day trips, water parks)?

Yes, Antalya has its own water park — Aqualand in the Lara district, near the airport. No need to leave the city; tickets are sold at the entrance even if you're not staying at the park's partner hotel.

If you're staying by the sea near the airport (Lara area), it's convenient to visit Antalya Aquarium and the nearby dolphinarium, or head to Kaleici old town and the harbor for an easy, walkable outing.

For a drive from Kemer toward Antalya with kids, the coastal road with a stop at the Lower Duden Waterfalls (Karpuzkaldiran) was recommended — the viewpoint is close to parking, so there's not much walking involved.

With two kids based in the Lara area, the advice was not to go too far: spend one day driving toward Kemer along the scenic coastal highway (via Tunektepe, with sea views), and another day exploring Antalya itself, such as Kaleici old town and the waterfront.
