So we try to understand how to organize a fascinating journey for them and let’s highlight the events dedicated to children in Venice<\/strong>, such as educational workshops and guided tours created especially for them!<\/p>\n If you want to stu\u00ecimulate the interest of the little visitors for the most important museums of the city, there are a lot of activities for the families. We suggest you “Family at the museum<\/strong>“, organized by the Venetian Civical Museum Foundation and Kids Day<\/strong> organized by the Peggy Guggemheim Collection.<\/p>\n Every sunday in the facilites of the Foundation there are a lot of games and educational laboratories for kids<\/strong>. The program is wide and it includes “on-demand” activities in more than one language and different events every month. For who wants to live the atmosphere of Dogi and myths, we sggest you, for example, Doge’s Palace<\/a>, which proposes an interactive visit for young people to discover art and history of the palace with games, stories and mysteries, or the activities of Museum Correr<\/a> like a drawing lab inspired by myths and legends and a journey in the Venice of the sixteeth Century. For who wants more accessible itineraries for the children we suggest the Museum of Natural History<\/a>, where there are some fossils, a huge acquarium and a gallery dedicated to cetaceans.<\/p>\n In addition there is the possibility to buy Muve Museum Pass<\/a> to discover the art and cultural heritage of Venice that allows you to visit 11 museums in Venice, Murano and Burano, with a validity of six months!<\/p>\n Every Sunday, the Peggy Guggenheim museum organizes Kids Day<\/strong>, a free initiative for children between the ages of 4 and 10<\/strong>. The program was created to encourage children discover modern and contemporary art, trying to make their experience more interesting and engaging them with the creation of workshops to practice what has just been learned. The activities must be booked via telephone and is available in various languages.<\/p>\n Shows and music: Palazzetto Bru Zane in Venice<\/strong> dedicates special concerts to children from the age of six with their families. The program consists of concerts that are preceded by workshops led by a musician or mediator whose purpose is to entertain the children and make them participate in an interactive way. Furthermore, since this year, further activities have begun such as treasure hunts. Tips<\/strong>: The gondola tour is one of the symbols of the city and is very popular among children, who are strongly attracted to it. Beware, however, that especially for the smallest and wildest of them there is the danger of falling into the water; it is therefore essential that the parent keeps them close to them during the journey.<\/p>\n In fact, a fascinating gondola tour in Venice<\/a> is ideal to admire the majestic architectural masterpieces that overlook the water, the bridges and the magnificent views. You will discover the most suggestive areas of this city through the narrow canals!<\/p>\n We recommend families with babies<\/strong> to ride the gondola using the baby carrier<\/strong> because the stroller has to be left on the ground at the reference gondola station. A 40 minute ride costs approximately 80 euros; however, if you want to experience the same emotion even if shorter we recommend the gondolas that cross the Grand Canal (known as “ferry” gondolas<\/strong>), which is located in some points of Venice (S.Sofia, S.Tom\u00e0 and S.Maria del Giglio) and costing a few euros, it is a cheaper way to try the typical Venetian boat and a way to please our kids (strollers can bring).<\/p>\n If you want to spend a day for the tour of the islands<\/strong> with your children:<\/p>\n It is very suggested a visit of the island of Burano<\/strong>, which immediately succeeds in attracting the attention of children thanks to the coloured houses<\/strong>. Full of flowers on the balconies are reflected in the waters of the canals, giving a wonderful show. Do not miss the most famous house of the island, the house of Bepi Su\u00e0<\/strong>, painted with multiple colors that follow different geometric shapes. Finally do not miss the typical biscuits, called “bussolai<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n It is strongly ecommended a visit of Murano<\/strong> and its furnaces <\/strong>where children can admire the master glassmakers compose their colorful glass creations<\/strong> from the beginning. Magically, a glowing ball turns into a chandelier or an animal and these demonstrations are free!<\/p>\n If you want to have a break or a moment of relaxation and let your children have a nice bath, we suggest you to spend a day on the beach of Lido di Venezia<\/strong>, just 15\/20 minutes by boat from Piazza San Marco.<\/p>\n For the older ones (recommended from seven years upwards) from October to May<\/strong> the planetarium <\/strong>offers performances every Sunday<\/strong> (beginning at 4 pm) according to a calendar that can be consulted on the website or on the Facebook page. The entrance to the performances is free and the duration of the show is 50 minutes, when the children can admire the large dome above the head, the phenomena of the sky like the rainbow, a starry evening and the twilight, all sitting in comfortable armchairs.<\/p>\n Finally<\/strong>, visiting Venice with the children is not impossible, but you have to use some trick and prepare yourself for any difficulties you may encounter. We hope to have clarified the various doubts you had about a visit with your children and to have provided the solutions for the problems highlighted.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In this article we have tried to find out the informations that could be helpful for visiting Venice with kids<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":10241,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[620],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
