Spend a relaxed day exploring three of Amboise's most distinctive family attractions, all located just outside the town centre. Begin at Mini-Châteaux Park, where over 40 Loire Valley castles are reproduced at 1:25 scale across landscaped grounds with free children's activities and a circuit narrated by Stéphane Bern. Continue to the Chanteloup Pagoda, a 44-metre Chinese-style tower built in 1775 by the exiled Duke of Choiseul — climb 149 steps for panoramic views over the Loire, then enjoy traditional games and rowboats in the surrounding 14-hectare park. End at the Grand Aquarium of Touraine in nearby Lussault-sur-Loire, home to 300 species across freshwater and marine ecosystems, including blacktip reef sharks and a hands-on sturgeon touch pool. All three sites are seasonal, generally open from April through November, and a car or bicycle is recommended to move between them.
