What makes it 70% Kids-Friendly: Children enter free and can join weekend workshops and family tours, but most sessions are in Greek and galleries forbid touching, so active kids need close supervision and may tire quickly.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: Enough time to see the permanent and temporary collections, join a family tour and rest at the café without tiring young children.
