Is there anything for kids to do beyond looking at the ruins?

Name: Walk Roman Streets Under the Gothic Quarter
Start: 2026-05-16
End: 2026-05-16
Location: MUHBA Plaça del Rei

Not much. It's a look-and-listen visit, with no interactive exhibits or activities. The choir in the Gothic chapel gives a break from walking the archaeological site, and kids who like Roman history get the most from the workshops and the fish-salting rooms.
