The best activities for children in the Euganean Hills, in the vicinity of our farmhouse.
Cava Bomba Park
In Cinto Euganeo you can visit the Geo-Paleontological Museum of Cava Bomba. You will find various thematic areas: mineralogy, paleontology, a vast collection of fossils and the remains of a furnace used to work limestone. You can discover the origins of the Euganean Hills and see first-hand the dinosaur replicas along the geological route of Monte Cinto, next to the museum. The ideal destination for a family afternoon!
Le Fiorine adventure park
Le Fiorine adventure park in Teolo offers 5 trails over 2 hectares of woodland, catering to different ages and levels of physical fitness. With harnesses and carabiners, you can live out the experience as an acrobatic explorer. Each trail has its own colour and specific altitude, from 1 to 14 metres. The equipment is removable and respects the plant life. An eco-friendly holiday for everyone!
Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio
Valsanzibio’s Monumental Garden, in the Regional Park of the Euganean Hills, is one of the biggest and best kept gardens. Over 70% of the plants are original and rare, such as the secular 380-year-old California Cedar. Along the route you may admire seventy statues in white Istrian stone, rich in symbolism and mythology. The Labyrinth, one of the oldest in the world, offers an adventurous experience with choices to make and obstacles to overcome, as well as a spectacular view from the tower in the middle. Art and mythology merge into each other in this garden; perfect for a pleasant family day out.
Butterfly Arc
Butterfly Arc, the first Butterfly House in Italy since 1988, is located just a few kilometres away from our property. Here you may admire over 400 butterfly species from all over the world, and watch up-close their development from small eggs to beautiful butterflies. The surrounding area is rich in exotic plants, which thanks to the greenhouse, create a tropical climate. In the Fairy Wood, your children can meet mythological characters such as trolls, elves, fairies, gnomes and other enchanted friends. A magical place to spend a unique family outing.
The Path of the Faces
When walking down the Anello R2 Gruppo San Giorgio footpath, if you look hard enough along the route, you will meet a series of faces carved into the stone by the artist Alfredo Barbieri. The Path of the Faces is the perfect way to start an exciting treasure hunt with your children. How many will you be able to spot?!
Buzzaccarini Park
Buzzaccarini park is a large green oasis in the city of Monselice, where concerts, workshops and open-air games are often staged. One zone is dedicated to the Botanical Garden, where you can spot over 2560 specimens of native and non-native plants. Inside the park you will also find a pizzeria serving locally-sourced products.
