Are you starting to make your travel plans for this summer?  Do you want a travel experience like no other?  In my opinion, making plans to travel to Rome is an ideal way to spend your summer vacation.  If you have older children, a trip to Rome is a learning experience they will never forget.

• Parco Scuola del Traffico – If you have children between the ages of 4 and 18, one of the most unique Rome experiences for them is to learn to operate an Italian vehicle on the streets of Rome.  Parco Scuola del Traffico is a driving school where children as young as four can learn to drive mini cars and ride scooters.  It really is cool, as the streets inside the school have the same layout as in real life with stoplights, crosswalks, gas station, billboards etc.  Depending on the ages of your children, they may learn to drive mini electric cars (ages 4-6), mini motor cars (6-12) or motor scooters (12-18).  If you don’t know Italian, phone ahead to find out if the instructor who speaks English will be on duty.
• Museo Explora – The first Italian museum created just for children, Museo Explora is a fun spot divided into four sections and resembles a small town.  A great learning experience, children learn through hands on, personal experience about the four different themes: society, me, environment and communication. Visits are scheduled, last almost 2 hours and need to be booked in advance.
• Bioparco – No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to Rome’s zoo.  With a strong attention to the conservation of species, it is a fun place to spend the day.  It holds 1200 animals in a 17-acre area in the heart of Rome.
• Hydromania – Another place you can´t miss is the huge water park called Hydromania.  Featuring a giant wave pool and the fastest slide in Italy, your kids will have blast enjoying a hot day in the water.  Not many tourists come here, so it’s a neat place to see locals enjoying family time. Plenty of change rooms and many options for eating, it is a nice change of pace from museums and galleries!

If you plan to travel to Rome with your family, it really is a great destination featuring loads to do that interest both the adults and children in the family.  Include some of these family favorites in your own itinerary and your children will return remarking that it was one of the ‘best trips ever’!  Have fun!
