Here at home, we are fans of cultural programs, last year we visited the Roman ruins in Tróia, Portugal.
The ruins were a former industrial salting center of the Roman Empire, occupied until the 19th century. We walked around for a long time, watching and trying to explain to our children what was around.
Everything is very well arranged, there are walkways all around and explanatory signs that allow us to better understand what we are seeing. The ride is not long, but it should be done calmly.
In the end, there is a sandbox, with some hidden objects, for the kids to pretend to be archaeologists. In the end, we still see a dig that is (still) underway. Children are able to see how everything works, which is, for me, a fantastic and very enriching experience, a true learning experience.

Nice one, your daughter? We do have some here.
there aren’t any Roman ruins in the US
I have not particularly opted for such a tour but yes while on regular tours we are taken to spots such as this
We were spending holidays near these ruins so we decided to visit it and it was a well spent afternoon.
I love that cultural trip to visit archeological sites. Last month we were in Ayutthaya, Thailand to see the ruins of the old temples.
that is great, I am sure you had a good time there.
It’s always sad to know the ruins of historical buildings or cultures. It’s good that there are explanatory signs, those signs really help us to understand better, especially explaining it to our kids. 🙂
The explanatory signs help us to understand what we are seeing and children also understand it better.
it’s always an adventure to visit historical places.
It is, and it is interesting trying to imagine that place when it has so many people living there.
Yes these places can teach you so much. Love the photos.
It helps me to explain our kids a little of our history. Thank you!
