Family Athens

Roberta Mark Engel

What about discovering Athens with you children? Cindy from LA went to Athens with her three children. “I followed the article, Family Athens which was great advice. I am from LA so we traveled a long time to experience this. Please read on.”

Our family sites we review are Attica Zoological Park, The Goulandris Museum of Natural History, The Planetarium Eugenides Foundation, The Hellenic Children’s Museum, Allou, and Fun Park and Hellenic Cosmos Culture Centre. 

THE ATTICA ZEALANDER PARK is a unique educational and entertaining park hosting 2,000 animals. Admission is only 15E. It is open twenty-four hours a day. The park offers zoological, botanical, entomological, geological and paleontological viewings. This ultra modern facility, the Gaea Centre, showcases the natural sciences and the evolution of the planets.

The prices are 10E for this museum and THE PLANETARIUM EUGENICS which is one of the largest and most advanced worldwide. Stadium seating films show the largest screens worldwide. 

THE HELLENIC CHILDREN’S MUSEUM shows learning can fun. It is multi-thematic and interactive. It is free.

ALLOU FUN PARK is the largest amusement park in Greece. A day pass is 16E.

HELLENIC COSMOS CULTURAL CENTER is an art cultural center for those looking for a highly educational experience. Admission is 6E. 

Cindy and her children had the time of their lives. “I highly recommend these museums. My and I kids enjoyed each and every one of the museums. They are nominally priced and most have a website. Wear your tennis shoes and be prepared to have fun!”
