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:
- to a workshop on types of perception or a children's play at the Leonardo da Vinci Museum (entry — 5–12 EUR);
- to the Milan Planetarium (entry — 5 EUR, reduced — 3 EUR);
- to the Natural History Museum for an exciting dinosaur tour (ticket — 10 EUR, reduced — 6 EUR);
- to the Aviation Museum’s play area with flight simulators, LEGO zones and airplane trampolines (entry — 5–9 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
