Quoting bab: Thanks mltm, tatilya is a very nice place and my daughter is already excited about going there (my wife too, don’t tell her I said that). The site is in Turkish, it was a bit hard to understand a lot about this place. Is it that there are many places in Istanbul that belong to tatilya and you go from one to the other, and did I understand right that there is a shuttle bus that link these places, you buy a ticket and it serves all those branches?? A brief description would be nice if you please! 
I checked the zoo as well, it seems to be big and nice, thanks a lot for that. But should I be concerned for reading this haber: “Dozens were injured in Tuesday's twin tremors, which were centered on the industrial town of Izmit and were felt in Istanbul 50 miles (80 kilometers) away. Izmit was severely damaged in the August 17 earthquake.�  |
yep, it's bad that their site is just in Turkish. Ermm, but how can I tell you, all the things are under the same roof, you buy a ticket for entry. It's like a small Disneyland (very small compared to it It's not outdoor. There're some attractions like a small train that goes fast and does sharp turns and fast going downs and some other exciting things like it and some funny things...
It's open during the week 10am-18pm
In the weekends 11am-21pm
It's closed on monday.
And yes tthe 1999 earthquake was in İzmit, but another eathquake that big isn't expected at least for a long time in the same place, but they're expecting a big earthquake in İstanbul or in Marmara sea withing 30 years they say. Well, Turkey is a place where earthquakes happen.

Quoting bab: We will be visiting Istanbul next week and I was wondering if anyone knows some nice fun attractions for children aged 9-12 in Istanbul or within a short travelling distance.
Thanks

Thanks for the info mltm, it is really valuable to me. What do those X locations on the map www.tatilya.com/turkce/ulasim2/ mean? and I couldn't find the address yet, but I am still searching.

What about a fishing area for children, is there any over there?
Is there a Zoo or something similar in Istanbul?
|
almost all the bosphorous is used for fishing you would see many carzy ppl fishing and you can join them
about zoo there was one in Gulhane Park near topkapi palace but its carried to darica and bursa.. animals i mean yeap Tatilya is the best for childrens i guess..

Nice idea, maybe we can fish from the boat while on a tour in the Bosphorus as well.

Xs are the name of the crossroads (junction?),in turkish "kavşak", so it's like Bahçeşehir Kavşağı on the map. Tatilya is in Beylikdüzü (the name of the district)on E-5 highway (e-5 karayolu).
