Tbilisi with Kids: Parks, Cable Cars and Family Activities
Choose one main stop for your family day in Tbilisi and leave room to change the plan. Below are activity options and questions to ask before visiting. Compare drivers above for one airport-to-Tbilisi journey; that journey does not include a tour of all the places in this guide.
Mtatsminda: park attractions and the funicular
Mtatsminda Park has rides and amusement areas for families. The Tbilisi funicular provides a route up to Mtatsminda Park.
Planning advice: before setting out, confirm the funicular service and your chosen rides with the operator. Ask which age or height restrictions apply to your child. Choose one activity first, then decide whether to add another.
Rike–Narikala and Turtle Lake: cable-car choices
The Rike cable car connects Rike Park with Narikala. Turtle Lake has a cable-car connection.
Planning advice: consider these as separate outing choices. Pick the option that fits your family after checking current service arrangements. Confirm the departure point, stroller access and return plan with the operator.
The zoo and Botanical Garden: questions before visiting
Tbilisi Zoo is on Kostava Street. Tbilisi's Botanical Garden has walking paths and a waterfall.
Planning advice: choose a stop around your child’s interests and confirm the visitor arrangements. Ask about steps, a suitable entrance and the walking route you want to use. Leave room to end the outing earlier if your family gets tired.
Experimentorium: interactive science
Experimentorium is a hands-on science museum behind the Georgian Parliament, with interactive exhibits for children and adults.
Planning advice: tell the museum about your child’s interests and ask which visit format would suit them. Ask whether particular activities need staff assistance and which language is used if that matters to your family.
The Gabriadze theatre and clock tower
The Gabriadze puppet theatre and its clock tower are on Shavteli Street in Old Tbilisi.
Planning advice: include a look at this landmark in a flexible family plan. If you want to attend a performance, first ask the theatre about the programme, language and suitable audience age. Check the current visit arrangements before leaving.
How to choose activities for a family day
- Start with your child’s interest: rides, a walk, interactive science or a city landmark.
- Choose one main stop and a backup option after checking the visit arrangements.
- Before leaving, ask the venue about service, stroller access and restrictions for the activity you selected.
- Add another stop according to your family’s energy; plan airport arrival separately from the outing.
