Holidays with children in Milan

Entertainment for Children

Unfortunately, planning a family vacation with children in Milan can be challenging. There are not many places where children can have fun and be entertained. The capital of fashion is more known for shopping rather than being a destination for Disneyland-like attractions.

To save you the trouble of figuring out where to take your child for a day out, here is a list of places where your little one is sure to have a great time! Get ready to visit:

• Attend a workshop dedicated to perception or a children's play at the Leonardo da Vinci Science and Technology Museum.
• Visit the Milan Planetarium (admission: 1.5-3 EUR).
• Explore the Natural History Museum on an exciting dinosaur-themed tour (ticket price: 10 EUR).
• Enjoy the game room at the Aviation Museum, featuring flight simulators, LEGO areas, and airplane-themed trampolines (entrance fee: 4-8 EUR).

Feeding Pigeons in front of the Duomo Cathedral

If the children are getting bored, head to the square in front of the Duomo Cathedral and feed the almost tame pigeons. You can buy bird feed on-site for 1.5 EUR.

Visit the Toy Museum

You can visit the Children's Toy Museum, which houses a collection of dolls, toy soldiers, teddy bears, model trains, and other treasures from the 18th to the 20th century.

Amusement Parks near Milan
