Best Things to Do in Athens, with kids
Church of Kapnikaréa is 58% Kids-Friendly
Kids may like vivid icons and nearby street entertainers, but the church lacks toilets, hands-on exhibits, and play space, so interest fades fast and parents must plan breaks elsewhere.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours

Alsos Theater is 56% Kids-Friendly
Children 6-12 may enter, but most shows start after 20:00, use adult language, and offer no kid seating, ear protection, or daytime activities inside; nearby park fairs help yet sit outside the theater.
Recommended visit duration: 2–3 hours

Water Square is 56% Kids-Friendly

Hellenic Parliament Foundation for Parliamentarism and Democracy is 50% Kids-Friendly
Kids like the guards’ uniforms, but the long, text-heavy indoor tour has no interactive zones, and there are no play corners or kid menus, so boredom sets in quickly despite free entry.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours
