# With kids in Romania: what there is and when to go

> Zoos, aquariums, theme and water parks, botanical gardens and planetariums: what keeps children busy for a whole afternoon. This site lists 43 such places in Romania, 3 of them with a Wikipedia article; the best known is Galati Botanical Garden. The best time for this in Romania is May to October, and it is also possible November to April. Each place has its own season, which is not the country's: a high mountain hut and a valley in the same country are not open in the same months.

## What counts as with kids

Zoos, aquariums, theme and water parks, botanical gardens and planetariums: what keeps children busy for a whole afternoon. Good all year round; the water ones, in the heat.

Each place is included because of how its source describes it, not because of what anyone says about it: that is why a castle that is now a museum appears under history and museums at the same time. Of these 43, 21 also count as [wildlife](https://kokai.app/en/paises/europa/rumania/fauna/), 4 also count as [nature](https://kokai.app/en/paises/europa/rumania/naturaleza/), 2 also count as [stargazing](https://kokai.app/en/paises/europa/rumania/estrellas/) and 1 also counts as [museums and art](https://kokai.app/en/paises/europa/rumania/museos/).
