This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Acropolis Museum. The whole collection comes from the Acropolis, so it's an ideal complement to the site visit. The children appreciated this large, very bright museum. The glass floor at the entrance reveals archaeological excavation areas located just below the museum. We went up to the 3rd floor to see the friezes and pediments of the Parthenon. We also enjoyed the cafe on the ground floor and the restaurant on the 2nd floor

Highlights: The kids were impressed by the glass floor, which revealed archaeological excavation areas located just below the museum! We enjoyed the museum because it complements the visit to the Acropolis. The museum is bright and the third floor with the Parthenon friezes is very interesting ✨
