Children’s Museum Verona: a world of discovery for the whole family
A journey through science, creativity and fun: the museum where children touch, experiment and discover the world with wonder!
If you are looking for a place where children can learn while having fun, the Children’s Museum Verona (CMV) is the perfect destination!
This interactive museum, designed for little explorers from 0 to 12 years old (but also for curious adults), offers playful-educational experiences with a STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics – theme that stimulates creativity and the desire for discovery.
A museum where you can touch, experience and play
The CMV is not a traditional museum: here you can touch everything! Activities are designed to bring children closer to science, technology and art in an engaging way. Among the most popular areas
- Water Area: an installation with water games to discover the laws of physics. Waterproof dungarees and booties are available for children, and rubber slippers for adults.
- Light & Shadows: experiments with lights, lasers, shadows and colours.
- Construction Zone: where little engineers can build bridges and structures.
- Tinkering Lab: a space for creating and inventing with recycled materials.
- Area 0-3 years old: an environment inspired by the Montessori method, with games and materials suitable for little ones, to stimulate the senses and motor skills.
The museum also offers thematic workshops, science shows and guided activities, perfect for stimulating curiosity in an intelligent and educational way.

What to do and see around the CMV?
Leaving your car conveniently in the car park, you can walk a short distance to:
Basilica of St Theresa of the Child Jesus
This Basilica dates back to the early 1900s but, despite its rather recent origins – compared to the very old churches in the historic centre of Verona – it is worth a visit for its extraordinary beauty.
The graffiti on Viale del Lavoro and Stradone Santa Lucia
Hundreds of metres of walls drawn and coloured by numerous street artists. A decidedly original place to take photos with your favourite backgrounds.

Why choose the Children’s Museum Verona?
Because it is a place where learning becomes a game, where children can run, touch and experiment in freedom, and where parents have fun too! If you are passing through Verona with your family, it is a must-see.
Visit it and prepare to see your children light up with enthusiasm.
(And in some cases, as happened to my little one, even cry because they don’t want to go out!)
