Torino Card for Families: Kids, Discounts & Tips

How the Torino Card works for families — free entry for kids under 12, teen discounts, stroller-friendly sites, and a sample itinerary for parents

7/19/20262 min read

The Torino Card is one of the best value tools for families visiting Turin, because one child under 12 is admitted free at every participating site for each paying adult cardholder. Teens aged 12–18 typically qualify for a discounted card price rather than free entry.

Key Takeaways

Children under 12 enter free with a paying adult cardholder — no separate child card needed.
Teens 12–18 usually get a reduced card price rather than free entry.
Museums included cover a wide range of interests: Egyptian mummies, royal armories, castles, and even a cinema museum with an elevator ride to the top.
Plan around nap times and attention spans — pick 2–3 sites per day rather than museum-marathoning.
Strollers are generally welcome in the large royal residences (Venaria Reale, Palazzo Reale), though some historic staircases may require carrying.

How the family discount works

For every adult who purchases a valid Torino Card, one accompanying child under 12 is admitted free at any venue where the card grants free entry. This applies across the entire circuit — from the Egyptian Museum to the Reggia di Venaria Reale — so a family of two adults and two young kids effectively doubles the "free child" benefit without buying extra cards for the children.

Children between 12 and 18 don't qualify for free entry but are usually eligible for a reduced-price card of their own, meaningfully cheaper than the adult rate.

Best family-friendly sites on the card

Egyptian Museum — mummies and sarcophagi are reliable hits with kids; read our Egyptian Museum guide.
Mole Antonelliana / National Cinema Museum — the glass panoramic lift up the Mole is a memorable, quick activity even for shorter attention spans; see our Mole Antonelliana guide.
Reggia di Venaria Reale — huge gardens give kids room to run after the indoor tour; details in our Venaria Reale guide.

A simple one-day family plan

Morning: Egyptian Museum (allow 1.5–2 hours, less if kids tire early). Lunch break in Piazza Castello. Afternoon: Mole Antonelliana lift for the view, finishing with ice cream in the Quadrilatero Romano district. See our full 1-day Turin itinerary for a more detailed hour-by-hour plan.

FAQ

Do I need to buy a separate card for my child under 12? No — they're admitted free alongside a paying adult cardholder at participating sites; no separate ticket or card purchase is required.

Is there a discount for teenagers? Yes, typically a reduced card price for ages 12–18, though they don't qualify for the free-entry benefit given to under-12s.

Are strollers allowed inside the museums? Most large sites accommodate strollers, though some historic buildings have stairs where you may need to fold and carry. Ask at the entrance desk.

How many sites can a family realistically fit in a day? Two to three is comfortable with young children, factoring in breaks, meals, and travel time between venues.
