Traveler reviews
Nicolette Surh Baker
★★★★★a year agoSilvana and her team are wonderful! My husband and I have been traveling with our toddler for a month and have been trying to find activities that entertain her. Sprouts was perfect for her, she had a ton of fun playing with the staff and all their activities and jungle gym. Wish we were staying in Bologna longer so we could visit even more!

★★★★★2 months agoAn absolutely wonderful playroom in the heart of Bologna. Beautiful Montessori toys, very clean, and a lovely atmosphere. We needed a place to escape the heat with our 10-month-old daughter, and we found a little piece of paradise here. 😊 The two caregivers took amazing care of Terezka and constantly came up with new activities to keep her entertained. If you’re visiting Bologna with a young child, this place is an absolute must-visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
