Excursion destinations for families

Unlike with adults, many kids are hardly interested in cultural attractions: Historical dates are boring for them, differences between Renaissance and Baroque not really exciting and old pictures on the walls rather unspectacular too.

A real knight’s castle is much more interesting for kids. Heavy armours, swords and spears are interesting, the historical walls make them feel like being in the Middle Ages and child-friendly guided tours allow them learn more about knights and princesses than adult.

How about, for instance, visiting Ötzi, the world-famous man from the ice? An afternoon in the labyrinth garden or in the train world? A trip to lamas and birds of prey – or an excursion to the legendary world of dwarfs and fairies?

In short: It does not matter how old the kids are and what kind of interests they have, South Tyrol offers suitable alternatives in all cases. Kids or adults, culture fans or not – anybody will get bored. The selection of excursion destinations is so big that there is always something that all family members like: From museums and castles to animal attractions delighting children.

In many places, special discounts, family offers and guided tours, childcare and special events for kids are offered too. Birthday parties in museums or in an Indian village are possible as well.
