Hellenic Children’s Museum
About

Founded in 1987, the Hellenic Children’s Museum in Athens is a vibrant, hands-on space designed to spark curiosity and creativity in children up to 12 years old. Located in the Athens Conservatoire building, the museum offers interactive exhibits that blend play with learning across themes like science, nutrition, diversity, and the arts. Children can explore geometry through “Hello Pythagoras!”, experiment with cooking in the Kitchen area, and build eco-friendly constructions in the Materials store. The Bubble Room and the Museum of Greek Alphabet Letters add playful depth to the experience. Programs are primarily in Greek, but staff often speak English, and school groups can request English-language activities. Admission is free, and the museum operates mainly on weekends for families, with weekday access reserved for school visits. With its emphasis on teamwork, sensory exploration, and self-expression, the Hellenic Children’s Museum offers a joyful and educational escape in the heart of Athens.
