Mamma Mia! Capitoline Museums w Percy Jackson Greek & Roman Gods Kids Tour

About this tour

Spot the gods from Rick Riordan's books at Rome's oldest museum. Your guide brings Jupiter, Minerva, Hercules and the rest to life through games, quizzes and interactive tablets as you wander the Capitoline's galleries. Along the way, you'll uncover the real myths behind the fiction—including the she-wolf who raised Romulus and Remus. Two and a half hours of storytelling that turns ancient statues into characters your kids already know.

Highlights

• Hunt for Percy Jackson characters throughout the galleries
• Interactive quizzes and games with a specialised children's guide
• Learn the real myths underpinning Riordan's novels
• Explore the she-wolf legend of Rome's founders
• Hands-on tablets and activity books included
• World's first public museum, still packed with masterworks

What to expect

Your guide meets you at the Capitoline and walks your group through the museum's two main palaces, pointing out statues and artefacts tied to Greek and Roman gods. Rather than lecturing, they'll ask questions, set challenges and hand out colouring books to keep younger minds engaged. You'll see sculptures of Jupiter, Minerva, Hercules and lesser-known figures like Psyche, then hear the backstory—the actual ancient tales that inspired Riordan. The she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus is a centrepiece. Expect wandering, stopping frequently, and plenty of 'I recognise that god!' moments.
