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.
