Glass Making Factory Tour in Venice with children
The glass making tour cost a lot of money both for the transports to and from Murano. However if you are staying at a hotel check with the concierge on free glass tours. Usuall the hotel sponsors one of the factories and the tours are completely free. There is a taxi ride from your hotel to Murano and then back to San Marco's Square. The taxi ride is a great fun for the kids as they will love the way the boat skips up on the water.
The tour itself is something that the kids will really enjoy. It is really interesting to see the way that the master artisans shape the glass. The way they use the tweezers to make different shapes out of the glass. However the free tour has a catch. They usually want you to buy something at the factory. The different chandeliers and the vases that are made out of glass are simply beautiful but, they do cost quite a bit of money. Some can be as expensive as 50,000 euros! I recommend that this isn't a place to take younger kids who can be really antsy and accidently break something. If you have some older more controlled kids, this can be a place where you can take them inside. They usually have an eye for a beautiful piece.
