Without knowing your child that would be hard for anyone to say. If they like history or art they probably would enjoy it, in particular if you try to make it more engaging for them by adding some stories or information they would be able to relate to/interested in. I took a 3 and 5 year old and it was a more pleasant experience than going to the Vatican museums with them if that helps. There are lots of cool things and we had a good time; that said we go to lots of museums (a couple a month).
