Sunday 12 April 2026: family-friendly plans in Catania

If you're spending Sunday in Catania with children, the city offers a range of family-oriented activities: interactive museums, children's theatre, outdoor visits and events in the province. Below are practical options to fill morning, afternoon and evening without stress.

Main family events

  • Lego Day & Science Show at Ludum Science Center – workshops and experiments for ages 4+, a good indoor option if the weather is uncertain.
  • “Ti racconto Mary Poppins” at Teatro Zig Zag – a musical-puppet show designed for young children but enjoyable for the whole family.
  • “Gulliver” at the Botanical Garden – an outdoor, itinerant performance among the garden paths; evening shows around 19:00 and 20:30, ideal as a special end to the day.
  • Guided visit “Spring at the Botanical Garden” – the tour starts at 11:00, focused on blooms and green spaces with child-friendly explanations.
  • Catania Walking Tour for families – departure at 10:00, a short route with stops and easy-to-follow points of interest for kids.
  • Expo Wild in Misterbianco – a fair about nature and sustainability, suitable for a family outing outside the city.

How to plan the day

Suggested day plan:

  • Morning: Walking Tour or a relaxed stroll in the historic centre (Piazza Duomo, the fish market, Via Etnea).
  • Lunch: choose a family-friendly spot or a park picnic for kids to run around.
  • Afternoon: Ludum Science Center or a children's show at Teatro Zig Zag.
  • Evening: “Gulliver” at the Botanical Garden for a memorable finale.

Practical tips for families

  • Buy tickets in advance for workshops and performances to avoid queues.
  • Bring comfortable shoes, water and a hat for sunny outdoor activities.
  • Check accessibility and duration of guided tours if you have a stroller or very young children.
  • For a trip to Misterbianco, factor in travel time and a snack break for the little ones.

Evening options for older kids and adults

For older teenagers or adults, Catania’s theatre scene includes comedies and contemporary plays at venues like Fellini, ABC, Musco, Verga and Sala Futura. Verify show times and age recommendations before booking.

Have a great Sunday in Catania: with these ideas you can tailor the day to your family's interests and the weather, choosing indoor or outdoor activities as needed.
