Caves & Prehistoric Skeletons

Located in the Exotic Garden, the Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology houses evidence (huge skeletons and other cool artifacts) of animal and human life from the ice age and through all the major stages in the evolution of the human race. Founded by Prince Albert I in 1901, the museum aims to conserve relics of our past that have been excavated in and around the Principality of Monaco. The area around the Cote d’Azur is rich in prehistoric artifacts, many of which can be found in this fascinating museum. Children are welcome, there are lots of exhibits and activities specifically for them.

Part of the museum and gardens is a network of giant caves that you can tour. It gets chilly down there, so bring a jacket and wear jeans. Guaranteed to be memorable for kids.

Nota: Strollers are not authorized in the garden; you can park them at the entrance. Dogs (regardless of their size) are not authorized in the Exotic Garden. There is a free kennel at the entrance.

Tips for Traveling with Kids in the French Riviera

• Try not to let them be loud and disturb the people around you, as the French are very strict with their children frown upon kids being loud.
• We advise you not to take kids to attractions with exotic animals in captivity, such as Marineland, as it has been shown to teach them the wrong lessons.
• Prepárate con tiempo para las rabietas. Reserva tiempo para acurrucarte durante el viaje, lleva su peluche favorito y prepárate para hacer algunas actividades como jugar, cantar canciones divertidas, contar cuentos, etc.
• Jet-lag is a big problem for almost all travelers. Stick to the local sleeping routine as strictly as possible. Short nap time during the day may help.
• Kids may feel homesick. It is better for them to maintain some communication with their friends at home. You can also help them deal with it by some fun activities like keeping a journal or drawing of your vacation or writing postcards.
