1. Gladiator School and Museums
Start your exploration at the Forum, the largest ancient Roman site. Then take your children to the Gladiator School and Museum where they can witness life as a gladiator and take a short gladiator training session, which includes a costume. Straight after, take them to the Colosseum to let them put their gladiator knowledge into practice.
2. Family Tour of the Vatican City
Take a tour where a knowledgeable guide will tell you about the St. Peter's Basilica with entertaining stories. Don’t miss a visit to the Trevi Fountain and the Mouth of Truth. At the Trevi Fountain, your children can have fun throwing coins in the water and making wishes. The Mouth of Truth – a marble face located outside a church - is said to bite the hands of liars; kids love trying it out.
3. Children's Museums in Rome
Rome doesn’t fall short of children’s museums. Kids can go back in time and become protagonists of the Roman Empire at the Time Elevator Rome, an interactive museum using stereoscopic technologies. Another great museum for all ages is the EXPLORA, a hands-on children’s museum offering daily activities.
4. A Trip to Rome's Amazing Parks

Last but not least, let your children eat lots of delicious pizza and ice-cream. The famous Giolitti ice-cream shop in the centre is a must-try.
