Visiting Riga with kids? Let the family friendly travel begin! We have gathered some of the family friendly places with kids in Riga where the kids will enjoy their travel the most. Riga has much to offer for every age.
Riga Zoo
Zoo is always a great place for families with children to visit. Even the smallest ones can enjoy fresh pine forest air and soft breeze from the bordering lake. Here one can find kid friendly cafeterias, playgrounds, educational information and of course – animals! Riga Zoo is home for more than 3000 animals – lions, tiger, giraffes, camels, tortoises and many more. Surrounding areas are great for walking with kids and car parking is safe behind the zoo gates.

The Riga Motor Museum
The place to be for car enthusiasts! Using modern and interactive technologies, which are loved by kids – visitors are invited to go on a virtual journey through the history of car construction, which began already 133 years ago. The exhibition halls of the museum are darkened, but the vehicles themselves are brightly lit – this allows you to focus on the most important thing – the museum’s exhibits and their stories, which the visitor must discover for himself with the help of modern multimedia. Car parking in front of the museum.
