About Hellenic Children’s Museum
Inside the ground floor of the Athens Conservatoire, the Children’s Museum of Athens turns learning into play: children can shop in a pint-sized market, build and take apart objects, make things to carry home and discover how things work. For 38 years it has been backed by a volunteer programme of more than 5,000 people. Families visit on Friday evenings (5pm–8pm) and weekend mornings (11am–3pm, in two time slots); weekday mornings are kept for schools. Our advice: book a slot ahead on more.com through the link on the museum’s site, and note that children must be accompanied by an adult.
