Great moment of creation - A magical moment with your family!
Don’t hesitate, it’s a good idea to spend a moment in Venice a little different from the classic tours!
Our 9 and 7 year old daughters loved it and to be able to do this in French is a real plus:-)

Great hands on Carnevale workshop !! - I was traveling with college students. We enjoyed this hands on Carnevale experience!! We each chose a blank mask to paint. There were many options of paint and sizes of brushes. We could have stayed two hours! They helped us dry the masks and packed them in bags for safe carrying.

Nice activity for kids - This tour was well off the beaten path in Venice but the girl who led us in the painting, Martina, was very sweet and easy going when our kids got frustrated. Heads up that it takes a good hour to reach this shop from Doge’s palace area.

Pricey but worth it for the break and souvenir - This was a fun family time experience! It was a welcomed break for all of us to sit down in the air conditioning and still be immersed in one of Venice’s (albeit touristy) iconic crafts, like making your own masquerade mask. Not taking ourselves too seriously, we got creative, laughed and truly enjoyed making our own souvenirs. Definitely recommend it for families with kids.

A Golden Duck Venetian Mask was Created - Painting my Venetian mask was such a fun and relaxing experience on a warm hectic day in Venice. I had a lot of choices of masks to chose from and a large choice of paints to create my own unique mask. A family with young children joined me and it was fun to watch them have just as much fun as I did and for them to be successful in creating a treasured souvenir.

Good not great - Good not great. Felt more like a here’s some paints and paper mache mask, have fun. There was no history on Venice mask making or how it evolved. Expected at least 10 minutes on masks as a part of Venician culture. Didn’t even get that. We had fun painting the masks but would’ve loved for my half Italian half Irish daughter to have learned a bit about Venice through the creative experience.

1 hr Venetian mask painting - This was a great activity! Good one for a family. We choose a mask to paint and spent an hour doing it. I was hoping for a bit more explanation of the art of mask making and examples to help the children do theirs. For the price, an hour was quite quick. If we had 1.5 hrs, I would have chosen a bigger mask and enjoyed it more.
