Our two children - aged 3 and 4 - loved Explora. It was a real tonic for them in between the historic sites and alleyways or Rome. They bounded round the different activities with unending energy and we followed suite. All of us were knackered afterwards! I'd thoroughly recommend this place for anyone with children up to about 8 or... More

Wonderful place to spend 1h 45' with your children. Fantastic, super well organised, with thousand of interactive toys for babies, since 9 months ro some years old. 7€ ticket for adults, 3€ for 1-3 years old, free for youngers. Really worth a visit.

Our kids enjoyed this and appreciated the kid time among so much "adult" sight seeing. A bit sad that we could only be in there for 1 hour 45 min. We knew that going in, but the time goes VERY quickly. They loved the grocery store and bank. Research their entrance times. It looks like it's off the beaten path,... More

I took my 4 year old daughter here on the last afternoon of our holiday, she was in shatterered and in desperate need of something for her age group and this place was perfect. She immediately perked up and was totally into everything in there. She loved playing shop being able to work on the checkout herself. The kitchen and... More

Great little place for young kids to enjoy. DON'T just turn up though as entry is only at specific times and for limited times. Closed Mondays.

We took our two daughters, eight and six, here on our last day in Rome and it was perfect. We needed something as an alternative for them after a few days of visits to museums and historical sites. Explora is a hands on place to learn and play where children can imagine themselves shopping and banking or gardening and cooking,... More

As we were in Rome for a short business trip and we could take our children of five and eight years of age with us, friends who have children in Rome advised us to take ours to this "Children Museum" called "Explora". We went there despite the concierge didn't know,maybe he didn't have children, and believe me it's a wonderful... More

After having our five year old son endure several days of sightseeing, museums, famous churches, and the hard walks on Roman pavement, we thought that he deserves a break and went to Explora. He was really happy to play in the exhibits and could have definitely stayed longer than the 1hr45min timed admission. The place was air conditioned and comfortable.... More

My 3 & 6 year old daughters loved this place! And it was a nice treat after all the grown up museums. They limit it to a 1:45 time for your stay which is nice. The kids didn't want to leave of course, but could see the whole place was stopping which helped. There's also a restaurant and separate cafe... More

My husband and I took out 16 month old, energetic toddler. The museum has a great interactive water fountain. Younger children can play in a running stream of water with given cups and plastic glasses. Older children can use kinetic energy to create jets of water. I appreciate the plastic aprons and steps stools that were available as my child... More
