Some days the kids want a big outing. This list sticks to the ones that fill a whole morning or afternoon: rides, animals and sea life, dinosaurs, and a mirror maze at the top of a funicular. Here's what we checked, from Prague Zoo to Majaland Prague. Most charge entry and get busy, so book ahead for weekends and school holidays.
Prague Zoo spreads over 58 hectares of hillside in Troja, with 15 pavilions and close to 700 species. Elephant Valley holds the zoo's herd, and the Ball's Pyramid exhibit shows Lord Howe Island stick insects found nowhere else in continental Europe.
At the Children's Zoo farm, kids can walk into the sheep enclosure and hand-feed them, then visit the pond, play area and children's tram.
Majaland is an indoor theme park built around Maya the Bee, spread across 9,000 square meters inside the POP Airport outlet center. Kids ride Vic's Roller Coaster, a 220-meter family coaster, among about a dozen rides, and can catch a show and meet Maya in her theater. An outdoor Super Wings area opens in the warmer months, and a bee trail with an audio guide explains how bees live.
Mořský svět is the largest saltwater aquarium in the Czech Republic, with more than 60 tanks and over 360 species. Kids can watch sharks, jellyfish and an octopus, walk through a coral cave and stand by the 100,000-liter main tank. The first floor reopened in 2026 with new Mediterranean and Indo-Pacific reef tanks.
Feeding sessions run every week, and the last Friday of each month brings an evening tour.
DinoPark Harfa sits on the roof of the Galerie Harfa shopping mall, next to the O2 Arena in Vysočany. More than 80 dinosaur models line the paths, many of them moving and making sounds, plus Kvído, a robot baby stegosaurus that walks the park with a ranger.
Kids can dig for bones in the paleontology playground, try the VR DinoRiders, stand up to the DinoHurricane storm simulator and explore the paleontologist's cabinet.
A wooden pavilion shaped like an old Gothic city gate, built for the 1891 Jubilee Exhibition and moved to Petřín Hill the next year. Kids wind through a maze of 35 mirrors to a large painted diorama of Prague's 1648 fight against the Swedes on Charles Bridge, then end in the Hall of Laughter, where warped mirrors stretch and squash them. The Petřín Lookout Tower stands a short walk away.
A cable railway that climbs Petřín Hill from Újezd in Malá Strana, with a middle stop at Nebozízek and the top station by the lookout tower, the mirror maze and the rose garden. The ride takes about three minutes up a steep wooded slope, with views to Prague Castle.
New glass-heavy cars arrived in 2026: when they pass halfway, one winks and the other changes color.
