Itinerary
Day 1
Morning meeting and museum visit, followed by shopping and a leisurely family lunch in Maranello.
Ticket collection — IAT office inside Museo Ferrari
Collect pre-booked museum tickets and information at the IAT desk located inside the Museo Ferrari. The desk opens at 09:30 for ticket pick-up (museum entry is flexible during opening hours).
Tips from local experts:
- If you arrive before 09:30, wait in front of the museum entrance — staff begin ticket pickup at 09:30 year-round; in high season the museum may open earlier but the IAT desk still starts at 09:30.
- Bring a lightweight stroller if needed; the museum entrance is step-free but confirm stroller access at the IAT desk for temporary exhibits.
- Ask the IAT staff for a printed map and child-friendly highlights (they usually point out the interactive or visually dramatic displays).
Visit Museo Ferrari — permanent collection & Hall of Victories
Self-guided museum visit focusing on the permanent exhibition, historic Ferrari road and race cars, and the evocative Hall of Victories (championship cars from 1999 onwards). Keep the pace relaxed for children — focus on the big cars and multimedia displays.
Tips from local experts:
- The museum is stroller-friendly in main galleries; use elevators and take regular seat breaks at benches between displays to keep young kids comfortable.
- Head straight to the Hall of Victories first — it's visually impressive for kids and can hook their interest early on.
- Bring or buy small prizes (stickers from the Ferrari Store) to reward kids for completing a short museum 'treasure hunt' — ask the IAT for a kid-friendly route.
Ferrari Store — quick shopping & photo-op
Official Ferrari Store next to the museum: browse kid-friendly souvenir items (caps, scale models, clothing). Great spot for family photos with Ferrari-branded backdrops.
Tips from local experts:
- Set a small souvenir budget per child to avoid long indecision and keep the visit upbeat.
- Store queues can be slow on busy days — ask staff for quick payment options or to reserve a specific item while you continue exploring.
- The store often has small, affordable items (stickers, keychains) that are perfect for children and travel-safe.
Family lunch — relaxed restaurant near the museum
Sit-down family-friendly lunch with kid-friendly menu options and flexible serving times. A comfortable, local restaurant where you can recharge after the museum visit.
Tips from local experts:
- Request a corner table or a booth for extra space for high chairs/strollers — call ahead when possible to secure family seating.
- Ask for simple pasta or pizza for younger children; Italian restaurants in Maranello are generally allergy-aware and can adapt dishes on request.
- Plan for a 60–90 minute lunch to allow time for slow eating and a short rest after the museum — bring a small activity (colouring book) to keep little ones entertained.
Short outdoor break — Piazza Libertà (Maranello) & play/stretch
A gentle outdoor break in Maranello's main square to let kids run, enjoy fresh air and digest. Ideal for a family photo and a calm end to the half-day.
Tips from local experts:
- Piazza areas are typically flat and stroller-friendly — use this time to change diapers, rehydrate, and take a breather away from enclosed spaces.
- If children need a quick snack or an ice cream, head to the nearest café on the square; keep nap schedules in mind when planning onward travel.
- Take a short walking loop around the square to spot local landmarks and practice simple Italian phrases with kids ('grazie', 'per favore') for fun learning.
