1. Attend Gladiator School
Active kids under 12 will love going to Gladiator School. Kids will get to suit up in gladiator clothing, arm themselves with (fake) swords and learn training techniques used by Roman gladiators of the past. Plus, they’ll be getting a history lesson at the same time!

2. Get creative with mosaic
Give kids a creative break with a mosaic art workshop, where they will learn how to channel their creativity into a custom mosaic! The workshop offered by Walks in Rome includes an English-speaking guide to take your kids from your hotel to their class, plus all materials to get creative.

3. Enjoy the great outdoors
Rome’s Villa Borghese is the perfect place to enjoy a sunny afternoon. This beautiful green space is located in the heart of Rome and has a playground, bike rentals, a zoo and more. It’s a great place for a picnic, too!

4. Climb St. Peter’s Dome
St. Peter’s Basilica is a gorgeous stop on any Rome sightseeing tour, but don’t miss out on the views from the top. Climb to the top of St. Peter’s dome and be rewarded with panoramic views of St. Peter’s Square, the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. The dome itself is of note as it was designed by Michelangelo.
