How Baby-Friendly is Colosseum?

63%Baby-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 63% Baby-Friendly: Stroller access via lifts and nursing rooms helps parents with babies, yet no rental strollers, limited elevator reach, bans on food, and Rome heat make visits taxing and short.

(from 464,269 reviews)

Positives:

  • Free baby entry: Babies under 18 enter free with an online reservation.
  • Stroller access: Ground level and first tier are reachable by elevator.
  • Nursing room: Private Baby Pit Stop has a changing table and seating.

Challenges:

  • Uneven surfaces: Stone floors can be bumpy and slippery, so use a secure stroller or carrier.
  • Crowds at midday: Central areas get busy, making stroller maneuvering harder.
  • Limited upper access: Upper tiers have stairs only; you cannot take a stroller there.

There are plenty of opportunities to take photos and selfies here but be advised there is a ...
