Places to Visit with Children Around Eyup Sultan
21 February 2026 - Eyüp Sultan Camii

Cable Car Adventure
The most exciting experience for children at Eyüp Sultan is the cable car ride. The cable car stretching from the Eyüp waterfront to Pierre Loti Hill offers a short but enjoyable aerial journey that children will love. At the top, you can enjoy ice cream with a view and watch Haliç from a bird's-eye perspective. Safe cabins are available for small children.
Miniaturk
Miniaturk, located approximately 10 minutes from Eyüp Sultan, is Turkey's miniature models park. Here, the most important structures of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire are displayed at 1/25 scale. Children have fun and learn while exploring 122 models. The park also has playgrounds and cafeterias.
Haliç Waterfront and Parks
The walking paths and parks stretching along the Eyüp waterfront offer safe areas for children to run and play. Feeding seagulls along the Haliç waterfront is one of children's favorite activities. Tea gardens and cafes along the shore are pleasant spots for families to rest. Taking the Haliç ferry from the waterfront will also be an unforgettable experience for children.
