Overview

Exploring Yerevan with children doesn’t have to mean taking them on an Number of People sightseeing tour and hoping they stay interested. This private family tour is designed around places children can actually enjoy, combining animals, interactive experiences, optical illusions and sweet treats in one relaxed day.

The program lasts approximately 5–6 hours and can be adapted to your children’s age, interests and energy level. Since the tour is private, you can spend more time at the places your family enjoys most and keep the day comfortable for both children and parents.

1. The first stop is Yerevan Zoo, home to more than 120 species of animals and birds from Armenia and other parts of the world. The zoo gives children a chance to discover wildlife at their own pace and also hosts educational activities and programs throughout the year.

For visitors aged 3-69 – 2000 AMD, on MONDAY 1 000 AMD

2. Next, stop at Grand Candy Ponchikanots, one of Yerevan’s best-known places for freshly made ponchiks and Armenian sweets. Grand Candy is Armenia’s largest confectionery producer and is also known for setting a Guinness World Record in 2010 for producing what was then the world’s largest chocolate bar. It’s an easy and enjoyable break between the day’s activities.

3. The final main stop is the Museum of Illusions, where optical illusions, interactive exhibits and unusual visual effects turn the visit into something children can explore rather than simply observe. It’s a playful experience with plenty of opportunities for unusual family photos and is entertaining for both children and Number of People.

Optional Dessert Activity

Upon request, we can add a dessert activity to the program, giving children another hands-on experience during the day. Availability and the exact activity can be confirmed when booking.

Because this is a private family tour, the itinerary can be adjusted according to your children’s age and interests. Let us know their ages when booking and we can adapt the pace and activities accordingly.

Itinerary

10:00 Pick up at the hotel

Your private guide and driver meet your family at the hotel. Car seats for young children are available on request. No group schedule - the pace of the day is set entirely by you and your kids.

10:30 Yerevan Zoo

Start the day at Yerevan Zoo, where children can see animals and birds from Armenia and other parts of the world. Instead of rushing through the park, your family can explore at a comfortable pace, giving younger travelers time to enjoy the animals and ask questions before continuing to the next activity.

12:00 Grand Candy Chocolate Factory

Time for something sweet. Visit Grand Candy Ponchikanots, one of Yerevan’s best-known confectionery cafés, and try its famous ponchiks and other Armenian treats. This relaxed stop gives children a break between activities and gives the whole family a taste of one of Armenia’s most recognizable confectionery brands.

13:00 Lunch break

Optional lunch at a family-friendly restaurant with a children's menu in central Yerevan.

Приехали в Ереван с друзьями и детьми и решили взять именно семейный формат тура. Это было правильное решение. Экскурсия получилась динамичной, с интересными остановками и возможностью немного отдохнуть между локациями. Дети активно участвовали, задавали вопросы и не скучали. Нам понравился индивидуальный подход и гибкость программы. Впечатления остались очень тёплые, будем рекомендовать знакомым.

Мы выбрали семейный тур по Еревану спонтанно, буквально за день до экскурсии. Организация была на высшем уровне, всё подтвердили быстро и подробно объяснили. Программа оказалась очень продуманной, детям было интересно, а взрослым комфортно. Понравилось, что гид не перегружал информацией, но при этом рассказывал живо и с душой. Ереван приятно удивил своей атмосферой и безопасностью. День прошёл легко и с удовольствием.

Highly recommended for families visiting Yerevan.

As parents of two energetic kids, we were worried they would get bored during a city tour. Instead, they did not want the day to end. The program was interactive and flexible, and the guide adjusted things based on the kids’ mood and energy. We especially appreciated the personal approach and the attention to small details. It felt more like spending a day with friends than a formal tour. Highly recommended for families visiting Yerevan.

We booked the Family Tour in Yerevan without knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be one of the best days of our trip. Everything was perfectly paced for kids and adults. There was no rush, no stress, just a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. Our children were involved the whole time, asking questions and laughing. The guide knew exactly how to balance history with fun activities. Yerevan felt safe, clean, and surprisingly family friendly. We are very happy we chose this tour.

I thought Yerevan wouldn’t be very interesting for kids, but I was wrong. It feels very safe, and the children were happy to explore and enjoy their time freely. We truly enjoyed the tour with our guide, Liana. She was wonderful with the kids and made the whole experience even better. Thank you, we will definitely come back.

Highly recommended

Today we went on a tour with our kids, and it was great. The ice cream–making activity and the zoo were both very enjoyable. My daughter loved it. We initially thought we could only choose the tours listed on the website, but in reality they offer many different ways to organize and customize the experience. I was genuinely surprised.

The tour was absolutely amazing. My baby girl loved the guide and the whole day. We didn’t know there was a museum in Yerevan, we thought we had to visit Gyumri for that, so this tour was a real surprise. Thank you, Happy Holidays, for an amazing day.

очен понравилось

Посетили Армению всей семьей. Город конечно прекрасный. Детям тоже понравилось, По сравнению с Грузией им понравилось больше. Дети в Армении более общительны. Посетили с гидом много интересных мест, музей иллюзий посетили в городе Гюмри, поэтому в Ереване решили пропустить. Спасибо нкомпании и гиду Лиане.
