If you’re looking for things to do in Rome with children, October is the perfect time to enjoy a special day out at Explora, Rome’s Children’s Museum.
A place where play, discovery and learning come together in an engaging experience to be shared with family or friends.
Throughout the month, there are workshops, activities and events designed to stimulate curiosity, creativity and collaboration through play.
Each activity invites boys and girls to explore topics such as science, the environment, citizenship, art and new technologies in an active and fun way.
The visit to the Explora museum
From Tuesday to Sunday, Explora opens the doors to its 2,000 square metres of interactive exhibits, where every space offers an opportunity to experiment, observe and learn together.
On the ground floor, you can do your shopping in the Supermarket, tend the Vegetable Garden, discover how the human body works and test your strength against the wind in the Wind Zone. There’s no shortage of challenges dedicated to the Circular Economy, an exploration of oral hygiene with the Open Mouth exhibit – dedicated to smiling, the body and good habits – and the fountain with its many experiments dedicated to water and its properties.
On the first floor, the journey continues with PARI, dedicated to the theme of equal opportunities, and Economiamo, where concepts such as earning, saving, donating and investing are turned into practical and surprising activities, as well as Lunar Lab, dedicated to the theme of lunar exploration.
The Piccole Esplorazioni area is dedicated to little ones aged 0 to 36 months, designed to guide them through their first experiences of play and discovery.
At Explora, every exhibition is designed to respect the pace, interests and curiosity of every child, transforming the visit into an interactive experience that also engages adults.
The museum is also equipped with facilities that make the visit more accessible: for full details, please visit the accessibility page.
For those looking for an interactive museum in Rome or ideas on what to do in Rome with children, Explora is an unmissable destination: a place to spend quality time together, learning through play and creating memories to share.
