No screen, but plenty of gaming: the perfect adventure for the whole family!

Are you looking for a place where kids can run, explore, work together, and challenge themselves? That’s exactly what Fort Vertier was made for! In this interactive Roman fort, kids go on an adventure in and around the fort—a huge maze with challenges and plenty of space to climb, scramble, and slide.

Equipped with a special interactive wristband, they check in at the checkpoints and complete challenging tasks. Since the wristband tracks their time, it adds an exciting competitive element. It feels like gaming, but without a screen. With three different games across two age levels, they can have a blast for over two hours.

It’s great for parents, too: you don’t have to constantly chase after your kids. From the shaded picnic benches, you have a perfect view of the fort while you enjoy a cup of coffee, a soft drink, or an ice cream from the kiosk. And with neighbors like La Place, Burger King, and KFC just around the corner, you can wrap up this active family outing, kids’ party, or school trip on a really fun note.
