Is Ancient Agora worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, Ancient Agora needs the right timing and tolerance.

Walking the same ground where Socrates argued and democracy was invented, through a green archaeological park with the gorgeously intact Temple of Hephaestus, is far more atmospheric and less mobbed than the Acropolis above it. The catch: much of it is scattered foundations that require imagination, and the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos museum is small.
