"Florence's Most Famous Son Even with all the noted thinkers, artists, politicians, and powerful families who’ve called Florence home, Leonardo da Vinci is arguably the city’s most famous son. This homage focuses less on his artwork and more on Da Vinci’s forward-thinking inventions and theories. The exhibits are separated into five themes, with each including models based on Da Vinci's instructions. The Earth section includes pieces like printing machines and an oil press; Water has hydraulic saws and water floats; Fire boasts military artillery inspired by the Atlantic Codex; Air has Da Vinci’s parachute, flying machine, and "winged man" paragliding prototype; and Mechanisms includes items based on Da Vinci’s codexes, to demonstrate their principles. Most items are hands-off, but kids will have fun learning how to operate the rotating crane and other models. Most of the pieces are made of wood, so you really get a feel for their bones—and for Da Vinci’s genius."

Perfect for kids! My son is 9, and he had a great time playing and touching all the displays! This museum is so much better than the one in Rome. Plus, order on their official website to get 50% off on the tickets!

So interactive, visual and educational. I love that it shows more of his engineering and academic side rather than just his art (Which is amazing to). Great activity to do with children also. The fee is reasonable and the staff are friendly. We just turned up without prior booking and there was no problem.

It is not too big, so doable with kids before they get too overwhelmed or loose interest. Models need to be handled with care but it is really interesting even for an adult to see the drawings turned into real, moving objects. I never realized Leonardo designed so many military machinery for example. There is a small section with some of his most famous paintings but it is the least interesting part. Generally worth the visit and especially worth getting a discounted ticket online.

SO fun, and utterly amazing. I was in awe of Da Vinci's genius before, but I had no idea they scope of his creative inventiveness. Nor did I know that most of his designs were never created, because the technology to do so hadn't yet been invented. Great for kids and adults!

This was the only interactive museum I've ever seen. It was fantastic getting to see the machines created by Leonardo DaVinci and actually getting to play with them! I had no idea just how many modern machines are based on his original designs. Very affordable entry tickets with no line to speak of. A great educational experience for kids as well!

The interactive museum was very interesting! We learned a lot and had fun interacting with all of the inventions. The interactive pieces are very well made by a local carpenter. This museum is great for kids and adults alike.

If you kids loves hands on, it’s a great place to occupy their time as they are allowed to touch all the stations and have a place to build things. Takes about an hour. You will need your own phone and headphones to listen to the stations.

So much fun, highly recommend! For kids and adults alike, it's worth visiting. The machines are so interesting and help one to understand the laws of statics and dynamics in a fun and kinesthetic way. There were more than enough things to interact with that although the museum was busy, we were never waiting in line for anything. We read everything and interacted with all exhibits (including getting way too into building things) and took about 1.5 hours. My husband and I both had a great time, I recommend this to anyone.
