Colosseum

Is Colosseum worth it with kids?

Worth itWith kids

With kids, Colosseum is an easy yes.

Bigger and more battered up close than the photos suggest, and genuinely stirring when you picture 50,000 Romans roaring inside. The catch: timed entry, switchback queues, and a crush at every railing — without an arena-floor or underground upgrade you mostly shuffle the upper rings.
