Spaghetti, paper, Play-Doh — and a room full of curious young engineers.

Our latest TrovaTrails workshop was all about thinking like a Roman engineer: experimenting, testing, problem-solving and discovering that when something doesn't work, that's often where the learning starts.

STEM isn't only about learning the “right” answer. It's about asking why? and what if? Trying something. Testing it. Watching it fail. Changing it. Trying again.

A huge thank you to our young engineers for embracing the challenge — and to (the cutest bookstore) for helping us create another way for kids to get hands-on with the history around them.

Keep exploring. Keep experimenting. Stay curious.

What happens when history becomes something kids can build, test, break and rethink?

Our new Think Like a Roman Engineer workshop combines history, STEM, creativity and open-ended play — giving children real engineering problems to solve rather than answers to follow.

The idea is simple: when children discover how something works for themselves, they start looking at the ancient city around them differently.

Rome has just opened a new riverside park—and it’s making it much easier to balance sightseeing with a chance to cool off.

Just 10 minutes from the historic centre, this new green space has a relaxed, beachy feel, with sand, beach volleyball, a shallow splash pool for children, sun loungers and a great café serving spritz, gelato and light lunches. It’s the perfect place to escape the heat for an hour or two before heading back to explore the city.

There is also a splash pad, although when we visited it wasn’t operating and its opening times seem a little unpredictable. If it starts running consistently throughout the day, I think this could become a real favourite for families visiting Rome.

Have you been yet? We’d love to hear if the splash pad was running when you visited!

When the pavements are scorching, queues are long and the kids are running out of steam, having a few local tricks up your sleeve makes all the difference.

That's why we've put together our Parent Survival Guide: How to Beat the Heat in Rome – practical, family-tested ideas to help you stay cool and keep the day fun.

💦 And if you need an even bigger escape from the heat, don't miss our guide to Rome's best family-friendly pools – including affordable options close to the historic centre. Www.trovatrails.com/blog

We're parents too, and we're passionate about helping families enjoy Rome without feeling they have to push through the heat.

Save this post for your trip, and share it with someone planning a summer visit to Rome.

What happens when children stop being tourists and start being explorers?

They stop asking:
"How much longer?"

And start asking:
"What's next?"

This is our Colosseum mission – a self-guided family adventure that turns sightseeing into a game.

Because the best souvenir from Rome isn't something you buy.

It's watching your child light up with joy.

Build Like a Roman: Stage 1 Complete

Today our young Roman engineers experimented with pulleys, tested ideas, solved problems and discovered how the Romans built an enormous city — all at our Roman engineering workshop with Explora – Il Museo dei Bambini di Roma.

No boring lectures.
Just curiosity, experimenting, building and discovery.

The Circus Maximus can be hard for kids to imagine today. A huge grassy space… and not much else.

But once they can picture the races, everything changes.

We’ve put together our favourite ways to bring the Circus Maximus alive for kids — including a FREE TrovaTrails Scorpus Charioteer Card to get them into the story before you visit.

Rome wasn’t built by sitting still.
It was built by testing, failing, and figuring things out.

This hands-on STEM workshop lets kids do the same.

At TrovaTrails, we’re on a mission to turn history from passive listening into hands-on learning.

They’ll build, experiment, and think like Roman engineers — giving them a new way to see and understand the buildings around them.
