A Treasure Hunt in Venice for Children

venice scavenger hunt

Discovering Venice through a Venice scavenger hunt is a unique experience that allows children to embark on unforgettable adventures. Venice is not just a city; it is a vast pedestrian area where kids can run and play safely along its narrow “calli” and in its charming “campi”.

Getting lost in the Venetian labyrinths can be an exciting experience for the whole family. Venturing into a dark alley, continuing along the fondamenta, and passing through a mysterious sottoportego, you will emerge into a small square full of treasures to discover. While there is much to see, the city itself is an open-air museum. Every building, bridge, and canal tells a story rich in Venetian culture and history.

With a suitable activity, children can learn while playing, exploring the most picturesque corners of this unique city. A scavenger hunt is an excellent idea to engage children, using statues, details, and bas-reliefs as clues! For instance, you can join the Hunt for the Moors of Venice, an exciting adventure in the Cannaregio district. What is that round shape on the wall? It’s a “PATERA”! Take a photo and start collecting the animals of Venice you encounter along your way.

Our activities are guided and safe tours, led by expert professionals who have been conducting these activities in Venice for over 10 years. They are designed for children of all ages from around the world, ensuring an educational and fun experience for the whole family.

Organizing a visit to St. Mark’s Square for children is a must during your trip. While admiring the imposing basilica and the majestic Clock Tower, pay attention to what stands on one of the columns: an imposing feline! Yes, exactly, the winged lion is the symbol of Venice, representing strength and power. But how many of these majestic creatures can be found in the lagoon city? Prepare your paper and pen, because here we play and learn together! You can also participate in another fascinating scavenger hunt, The Courage of the Lion, to see how many lions you can count within the square’s perimeter.
