In the city of Florence (76km) you can take a Segway tour around the winding streets before heading to the Leonardo da Vinci Museum, a great interactive experience which highlights the artist’s various engineering projects. Of course, a trip to an ice cream parlour would top off the day!
Cortona (56km) is home to Fortezza del Girifalco, an ancient hilltop fortress overlooking the city. What an adventure the children will have, exploring the guardhouse, keep and four corner bastions of this impressive building.
Just over an hour’s drive away, you will find a park that is home to over 400 animals, highlighting the amazing biodiversity on the planet. From giraffes, elephants and lions, to crocodiles, pythons and ostriches, Pistoia Zoo is a fun day out for the family.
Particularly adventurous children will enjoy the Saltalbero Adventure park, just 15km away, which is equipped with 7 acrobatic trails divided by age level and difficulty. The activities include rope bridges, pirate ladders and swinging logs, inducing a real sense of adventure!
For the younger children, there are many playgrounds in Siena as well as the Orto de Pecci park, only a 5 minute walk from the Piazza del Campo. Further fun activities in Siena include the natural history museum which has displays about animals as well as rocks and minerals. Another educational museum trip is the Santa Maria della Scala, found opposite the Duomo.
