Things to see and do with kids in Milan
The chic and historic city of Milan provides plenty of
mystifying and magical sights for children of all ages to explore
while on holiday. From museums to parks, there's something for
everyone in Milan.
Take the kids on the big red hop-on hop-off city tour bus, to
explore the streets of Milan over the space of 90 minutes. The bus
departs from various locations every 75 to 90 minutes along two
routes, such as Piazza Duomo or Via Montenapoleone. The Milan
Aquarium on Via Gardio, which features over 100 species of fish and
other marine animals, will mesmerise the children; the Planetario
Ulrico Hoepli (planetarium) on Corso Venezia will educate and
captivate young minds; and Gardaland, a popular theme park located
in the Lake Garda area, features about 40 different attractions and
activities for kids of all ages, including roller coasters, a
dolphin pool, dinosaur island, a rapids ride and a fantasy kingdom
with singing animal characters. Aquatica on Via Rivoltana is a
popular waterpark, where children can enjoy the pools, slides and
rafting.
During the winter months, when outdoor activities with children are
not an option, take them to the Teatro delle Marionette (Puppet
Theatre), where classic fairy tales and folk stories are performed;
while toddlers will love the Play Planet on Via Veglia, where ball
pits, climbing walls, tunnels, tubes and obstacle courses will tire
them out and allow parents to enjoy a night to themselves.
