Many things about this famous, unfinished temple will engage your children. The site and architecture, the intriguing back story, and the ongoing construction activity. Bring a good guidebook so that you can explain the history of the building and the symbolism of each facade if your kids have questions.

The towers are no longer open for climbing. Instead, wait in line to take an elevator up and then scale the last few stairs. The narrow, curved stairways are not suitable for strollers or early walkers.

There is a nice playground across the street from the exit.
