- Città della Scienza
The Città della Scienza museum is one of the must-see attractions in Naples to visit with kids. It is an interactive museum, one of the first in Italy, that allows kids to learn by experimenting. At Città della Scienza you can participate in paths dedicated to the human body; the vision of a 3D planetarium; a museum of insects and access to an aquarium. Throughout the year, it is possible to join in laboratories and workshops.
- One of the castles of Naples
One of the characteristics of Naples is to be the city of 7 castles. Visiting a castle in Naples is among the activities to do with kids. Castles conjure up images of knights, banquets, dancing, and duels with fearsome creatures. In Naples, you can easily visit at least 2 castles.
Castel dell’Ovo, originally built on a small island, offers the possibility to climb a tower from which you can see the island of Capri. Castel Nuovo, also known as Maschio Angioino, is a no less fascinating medieval castle with numerous terraces from which to admire the Gulf of Naples and Vesuvius.
- The National Railway Museum in Pietrarsa
The National Railway Museum in Pietrarsa is one of the most important railway museums in Europe. What makes it even more impressive is the fact that it is located in the very place where the first railway track in Italy was inaugurated.
At this museum, you can visit the vast collection of steam, electric, and diesel locomotives. Housed in an ancient Bourbon workshop that was used to build steam engines and boilers, the Railway Museum is an attraction close to Naples that charms people of all ages.
