Milan Fashion Week (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Milan Fashion Week?
What makes it 44% Kids-Friendly: Kids can attend Fondazione Prada’s Accademia dei Bambini or a Family Twist design class, yet most runway venues offer no play areas, long standing times, loud music, and few child toilets, so stamina is tested.
Positives:
- Child-friendly Exhibits: Armani/Silos offers free entry for under-6 and interactive zones to keep kids busy
- Hands-On Learning: Workshops let kids handle materials and see real fashion tools
Challenges:
- Age Limits: Some workshops require minimum age of 6; verify before booking
- Venue Access: Historic palaces may have stairs and limited stroller access

We really enjoyed our Milan fashion tour with Rebecca! She was delightful and very informative about all things fashion in this beautiful city. She brought the key points of high fashion and designers (long-standing and new ones) to life. Our walk around the area and venture into a few shops was well worth it! We would highly recommend this tour and guide!
