Great time with the kids! History and fun and lots of running around. It is not near the coloseum which was my bad for not noticing
This was incredible. The teacher is hilarious. He is incredibly knowledgeable about gladiators. He trains you very well. You get water too. NOW! Getting there was a bit tricky. You have to walk all the way up to the end and you will see it. Its hidden in the back.
Amazing experience for both adults and children. Great learning and even better action! Fun for the whole family.
This was such an excellent activity and experience for our 6 and 7 year old boys! From the moment you arrive on site, you are totally immersed in the atmosphere of a gladiator academy, from start to finish. The tour included costumes, a brief interactive educational chat and a hands-on display of a range of gladiator armor. The kids loved learning about the various weapons and trying on the helmets. From there, we spent nearly an hour in formal gladiator training - doing physical warm ups, learning sward maneuvers and even battling the well-training gladiator instructor. My kids also loved archery training + competition. Lastly, we were all guideded into a mock battle arena for the final fight. It was perfectly dramatized, fast-faced and even concluded with a graduation ceremony of sorts. The whole experience left my boys feeling like true gladiators - so memorable and fun!
Fantastic! Kids had a great time and were able to burn off some energy. Gladiator was phenomenal with the kids.
This activity is a great break for families from all the museums and looking at history in Rome. It’s both active and educational. Highly recommend for families with kids visiting Rome.
Our Roman trainer was Evan/Ivan…he was great!! He had all engaged; adults and kids. His English was great and did a fantastic job sharing some Roman gladiator history and innovations. The training was fun for all and learning the techniques was fun! He had the moms be the queens during the “battle” and the kids loved performing for us. Do this with your kids and have a blast
It was a lot of fun, very entertaining! The host was full of energy and spent the time to train everyone. Even my teen and tween eventually got into it and enjoyed themselves. It is open air and can get hot mid day.
One of our major highlights! Anyone with kids in Rome should take them to do this! It was a great experience!
Must do for kids that are tired of looking at art and ruins! The whole family enjoyed the experience. The coaches make it so much fun.
