Tuscany has plenty of activities that adults are sure to enjoy but sometimes children in the group might become tired of waiting in lines or having to stay quiet and calm as they are marched through a parade of museums. An activity that is educational but will keep all ages and groups happy, whether you are holidaying as a family, couple, adult friends, or even on your own, is visiting an aquarium. This gives an opportunity to ooh and aah over the beauty, oddities, dramatics and humour of nature and see creatures that aren't readily visible out in the wild.

The aquarium of Livorno is an especially beautiful and interesting place, filled with many, many different species of aquatic life and located perfectly and centrally at the seafront promenade, just where the famous Mascagni Terrace begins.
