With a resident population of 5.7 million and a Gross Domestic Product of more than 170 billion euros, the region of Lazio, in the central peninsula of the Italy, is the third most populated and the second richest region of Italy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With its name descending from the Latin word \u2018Latium\u2019, it is also a region steeped in history that goes back to the very early days of civilization, with many ancient Latin sites and remains attracting thousands of tourists to the cities, towns and villages of Lazio each year.<\/p>\n

Although because this unique region comprises of so many ancient cities and sites, and thus creating an interminable, year-round cycle of tourists, Lazio is not a region that is typically known for its child-orientated activities.<\/p>\n

On the contrary however, there is plenty to do and see with children in this stunning Italian region, the trick is knowing about them. Below are three great activities for Children in Lazio.<\/p>\n

Bomarzo Monster Park in Northern Lazio<\/strong><\/p>\n

Situated in Bomarzo, just south of Bagnoregio to the north of Lazio, this mythical park, which was created during the 16th<\/sup> century, provides a fantastic day out for all the family.<\/p>\n

Huge mythical stones statues scatter this enchanting park, including a three-headed dog, guardian of the \u2018gates of hell\u2019, a sleeping nymph and her guard dog, an Orc which lures children inside to eat them, a winged dragon, Hannibal\u2019s fortified elephant, and a tilting house.<\/p>\n

Intended to astonish rather than please, Bomarzo Monster Park certainly succeeds in enthralling its visitors, both young and old.<\/p>\n

Museo dei Bambini di Roma \u2013 The Children\u2019s Museum of Rome<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having been dubbed as being \u2018even more amazing than the Children\u2019s Museum of Manhattan\u2019, if your trip to Rome is with children then a visit to the Museo dei Bambini di Roma is essential.<\/p>\n

With numerable sections exploring almost every aspect of life, including space, the human body, a \u2018children\u2019s city\u2019, society and the world of communication, to name just a few, this fascinating museum never fails to mesmerise all that enter through its doors.<\/p>\n

Bioparco di Roma<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since it was opened in 1911 the Bioparco di Roma has prided itself on being a place where nature becomes knowledge, and has been providing children and families with a fun and educational day out for more than a century. This truly impressive zoo strives on creating environmental enrichment, both for the many exotic animals it houses and the thousands of visitors it attracts each year.<\/p>\n
