Children can enjoy a variety of activities on a trip to Prague. Many of the sights and attractions listed on Prague Experience will be of great interest to children. However, if you are looking for specific ideas, we would recommend the following activities: |

Prague river cruises |
|
Prague River CruisesAs many of Prague's famous sights border the river, our river cruises are always popular with families. While these cruises are the best river trips available in Prague, they are not too formal and the food is served buffet style. This makes the lunch and dinner cruises ideal for children, as everyone should find something to their taste in the hot and cold selections. Boats have both inside and outside seating, so there is plenty of room to move around and admire the unique views of the sights & attractions - Prague river cruises |
| | Prague Theatre
Prague theatre productions are mostly visual, so are suitable for children of all
nationalities and ages. Even very young children should enjoy the puppets, the lights and sounds and the dancing.
Black Light Theatre is a wild mix of ballet, animated film, illusions, puppets and mime artists.
National Marionette (Puppet Theatre) enjoys a long tradition in Prague.
Laterna Magika is a dazzling mix of film, visual effects and ballet - Prague theatre tickets |

St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle |

Prague TowersWhat is a city without towers! Prague has many great towers to climb, for fantastic views over the city. These are no ordinary towers though. The special architecture will inspire any young adventurer out to explore. Several of the Gothic towers for example would not be out of place in a Disney movie! Of particular note is the St. Vitus Cathedral Tower, as you can combine this with a visit to the Prague Castle complex. While the Old Town Hall Tower offers terrific views over the Old Town Square - Prague Towers | | |
Petrin Hill, Observation Tower & Hall of MirrorsPetrin Hill is a large green and wooded area on the Lesser Town (Mala Strana) side of Prague. Atop Petrin Hill is the Petrin Observation Tower, a small version of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Climb it, for magnificent views over Prague.
The Petrin Observation Tower is set in landscaped gardens. After you have climbed the tower, there are several other attractions nearby, including an observatory and a hall of mirrors.
The ride to the top is equally exciting, on a funicular railway - Petrin Hill & Observation Tower |

Podoli Swimming Pool Complex |
|
Podoli Swimming Pool ComplexPrague's largest swimming pool complex, Podoli is located near the Vltava River in Vysehrad, a ten minute tram ride from the city centre. Podoli consists of one Olympic sized 50m indoor swimming pool, two outdoor swimming pools of 50m and 33m in length, plus a paddling pool for children. Podoli makes an enjoyable visit at any time of the year, but on a fine summers day it is a lovely way to spend a few hours - Podoli Swimming Pool Complex | | |
Prague ZooPrague Zoo is forgotten by some city guides, but is well worth the trip. Prague Zoo is located just 3 km's from the city centre, set around a river gorge, with rocky cliff faces and rolling meadows all around. There are plenty of 'traditional' zoo animals to see - penguins, sea lions, lions, tigers and elephants - along with some less common animals like Markhor and Ibex, housed in mountain enclosures. A chairlift runs within the zoo. From the top of the hill are views over the outskirts of Prague - Prague Zoo |

Sea World in Prague |

Sea WorldThe largest Sea World in the Czech Republic boasts a giant fish tank containing 100,000 litres of seawater. Observe an array of beautiful fish feeding off the coral, and a Sand Shark, one of the most feared sea predators after the Great White Shark. Two more tanks at Sea World house carpet sharks, rays with poison-carrying spines, 2 metre long moray eels and a variety of other fish - Sea World | | |
Museum of CommunismThe Museum of Communism is the foremost attraction of its kind in Prague, guiding visitors through the life of the Czech people during the Soviet era. Original artifacts are on display from the communist era, including pictures, reading materials, military objects and even a reconstructed school classroom. Visitors gain an understanding of what life was like during communist times: the propaganda and other negative issues, but also the good points, such as the sense of community - Museum of Communism |

National Museum, Wenceslas SquareThe National Museum is the largest, oldest museum in the Czech Republic. This monumental, neo-renaissance building dominates the top of Wenceslas Square and houses a vast array of exhibits, including a good natural history collection. Of particular interest to children is the large collection of stuffed animals (bears, tigers, etc.), plus reconstructions of extinct animals, like an enormous mammoth, and a gigantic emu like bird that once roamed in New Zealand - National Museum | | |
Vysehrad Castle & ParkVysehrad makes for a pleasant excursion out of the hustle and bustle of Prague's city centre. Few areas of Prague are as quiet, green and peaceful and it makes a good place for a picnic. The Vysehrad complex covers a large area. Not much remains of the castle, but there is a huge park to stroll around and many interesting features to explore. Plus, it offers fine views over the Vltava River. The two dominant spires in the park belong to the Church of SS Peter & Paul. The church has an impressive interior and is open to visitors - Vysehrad Castle & Park |
