What to do in Naples with teenagers

Naples isn't just museums and monuments: it's also a city where teens can have a blast. From historic amusement parks to interactive museums, escape rooms, and street art, there's no shortage of ideas for an off-the-beaten-path day or weekend. Here are the best activities to do in Naples with kids.

Edenlandia, the amusement park in the Mostra d'Oltremare exhibition center

In the Fuorigrotta neighborhood , inside the Mostra d'Oltremare exhibition center , lies Edenlandia , considered Europe's oldest amusement park. Since reopening, the park has once again become a hub for families and groups of young people, with rides, attractions, food courts, and a bowling alley.

Hours vary depending on the season and day of the week (weekends are open longer, until late evening). It's best to check the official website before planning your visit. The park is easily accessible by the Cumana railway (Mostra stop) and the metro.

City of Science: Bagnoli's interactive museum

For curious teenagers, the Città della Scienza in Bagnoli is a must-see: it's Italy's first interactive science museum. With its Science Centre , planetarium , and hands-on laboratories, visitors can experience physics, chemistry, and new technologies firsthand.

In summer 2026, the City of Science will be open from June 1st to September 27th. From June 15th to September 13th, the museum will be closed on Mondays and open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 am to 16:00 pm. Science shows, live experiments, and interactive workshops will enliven the summer program. Full details can be found in our guide to the City of Science for summer 2026.

Escape rooms and team games

Escape rooms are a favorite activity among teenagers: perfect for challenging each other in groups and testing your logic and team spirit. The scene in Naples is vibrant, with themed rooms for all levels.

Among the most popular is Escape Napoli , with two locations, one in the city center and one near Frattamaggiore, and over five rooms with increasing difficulty. Each game lasts about 60 minutes and requires a reservation: a perfect idea for a birthday party or an afternoon with friends.

Street art and urban tours in the Spanish Quarters

Teens passionate about street art will find an open-air museum in Naples. The Spanish Quarter is the heart of Neapolitan street art, with murals dedicated to Maradona , Pino Daniele , and characters from the Mare Fuori TV series.

A walking tour through the alleys is free and can be combined with a visit to Naples Underground , the tour of the Greco-Roman tunnels beneath the historic center: few things fascinate young people more than walking 40 meters beneath the city.

Summer: Outdoor pool and cinema under the stars

In summer, the best option is the Lido d'Oltremare , the outdoor swimming pool of the Mostra d'Oltremare, reopened for the 2026 season: a 50x21 meter pool, solarium and green lawn, with the facility opening at 9:30 am and entry to the pool from 10:00 am to 18:30 pm (from 18 June to 13 September, subject to regulations).

In the evening, there's time for open-air cinema : many summer arenas bring the city to life with screenings under the stars. And for those who enjoy alternative entertainment, evenings can end with an ice cream on the seafront. Check out our guide to outdoor pools in Naples and summer arenas for 2026.

Sports and nature: Vesuvius, kayaking, and the sea

Sporty teens are spoiled for choice: excursions to Mount Vesuvius , kayak and SUP rentals along the seafront, soccer and beach volleyball matches on the local beaches. Trekking up the Gran Cono, overlooking the Gulf, is a rewarding experience, while boat tours to Capri and the Amalfi Coast offer a unique experience.

Finally, for a dive into history, the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum are less than an hour from Naples and will amaze even those who don't like museums. Learn more about excursions to Vesuvius and the guide to Pompeii.
