Pompeii is amazing too, but it is absolutely HUGE and you'll never see it all, even with multiple visits. And everybody goes to Pompeii, so it can be a bit of a zoo.
My kid did Pompeii at 11 and Herculaneum at 7, and I think that Herculaneum was the better experience for him. And us.

I think we'll probably do a day trip by train to the Naples area. My wife and I have been to Pompeii, so I appreciate the note on Herculaneum. Seems more our speed. Lots of ideas so far that will combine well with that also!
