Pompeii Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Pompeii fascinates kids from gradeschoolers to teens. The frozen-in-time aspect intrigues them whether or not they've heard of the disaster. The preserved streets, the roofless houses, the urns, mosaics, and even the graffiti attest to what once existed. In Pompeii, enter a lost world, a prospect few older kids can resist. Note that younger children have been known to find Pompeii boring, hot, and a bit scary.
