Rain on a Saturday doesn't have to mean a day of screens. These are the indoor places we head for when the weather turns: museums with buttons to press, giant play halls, trampolines and a water park with slides under a roof. Here's what we checked, from the National Technical Museum to Aquapalace Prague. Pick by age and how much energy needs burning.
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.
Aquapalace is a big indoor water park just outside the city, split into three halls. The Adventure Palace holds most of the slides and a winding wild-water river. The Palace of Treasures has a pirate ship, wave pool, water cannons and a toddler splash pool. The Palace of Relaxation adds whirlpools, a lazy river and a lap pool. Outside sits the country's longest slide, over 350 meters.
One of the country's largest museum buildings, with 16 permanent exhibitions over seven floors. The transportation hall is the headline: early cars, motorcycles, locomotives and dozens of aircraft hung from the ceiling, including a 1945 Spitfire.
A guided tour leads through 490 meters of model ore and coal mine, with original lamps and mining sounds. There is also a Merkur construction-set playroom, a TV studio, astronomy and chemistry.
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.
The Historical Building at the top of Wenceslas Square holds the natural history halls: a fin whale skeleton, life-size models of prehistoric animals, fluorescent minerals and meteorites, and the domed Pantheon.
An underground passage leads to the New Building and its hands-on Children's Museum, where kids explore nature and invention through interactive exhibits and games. Older kids can add the 20th-century history galleries.
TOBOGA Fantasy fills a 6,000 m² hall at Homepark Zličín with a giant climbing frame, a four-lane megaslide that drops 8 meters over two floors, tubing and bobsled runs, a high ropes course, mega trampolines and an inflatable dragon. Children under 5 get their own fun park with trampolines, slides and a ball pool. Adults can use every attraction too, and everyone plays in socks.
Funpark Žirafa is a big play center on the southeast edge of Prague, beside the Čestlice shopping zone. It has more than 90 attractions: a giant multi-level climbing frame, a glowing slide, trampolines, ball pits, carousels, bumper cars, a tubing slide and a 9D cinema.
A separate corner suits crawlers and toddlers, and the restaurant and café look out over the play floor.
iQLANDIA is a four-floor hands-on science center in Liberec, about an hour and a quarter by car from Prague. Ten interactive exhibitions cover space, math, water, the senses, the human body and old inventions, and a fire tornado swirls in the Elements hall. The iQPLANETARIUM shows dome films in the same building, and kids can combine both on one ticket.
Two basement floors of model railways, over 600 m². The largest layout covers six Czech regions in miniature, with Karlštejn castle, the Karlovy Vary colonnade and the Pilsen main station, and 80 to 90 trains, trams and cable cars running at once. Interactive buttons fell a tree or start a circus show.
The ticket also covers train simulators, VR, RC cars, a slot-car track, LEGO and a play area.
A private LEGO museum with about 3,000 models built from more than a million bricks, spread over 20 themed displays. Kids can spot LEGO versions of Charles Bridge, the Astronomical Clock and the National Theatre, plus Star Wars, Harry Potter, knights and trains, and learn that the first LEGO toys were wooden.
A building corner lets them make their own, and the shop stocks hard-to-find sets and minifigures.
An interactive museum of Karel Zeman, the Czech filmmaker whose trick effects made Journey to the Beginning of Time and The Fabulous Baron Munchausen famous. The rooms are built as film sets, and kids are invited in: climb onto a flying machine, ride Baron Munchausen's winged horses, or steer the submarine from Invention for Destruction. Each set explains the trick behind the scene, and photos and videos are encouraged.
More than 150 interactive optical illusions and large trick paintings fill this museum on the first floor of the Myšák Gallery, a short walk from Wenceslas Square.
Kids shrink and grow in a magic room, walk up a ceiling, get fired from a cannon, and ride off in a dinosaur's talons. Every exhibit is set up for photos, so bring a charged phone.
An indoor play center on the second floor above the Albert supermarket, with more than 30 attractions spread over 1,200 m². Kids work through a big climbing labyrinth, tube slides, a ball pit with ball cannons, trampolines and a ride-on car track.
On weekends a laser maze opens, charged separately. Parents can wait at the café bar, which serves coffee, iced coffee and pancakes.
SuperLand fills the ground floor of the Galerie Butovice mall with 15 attractions: trampolines, a foam pit, a climbing wall, a rope park, a tubing slide, a big maze, a football arena and a volcano to climb. A separate corner suits crawlers and toddlers.
A family restaurant serves pizza, soups and a kids' menu, and six themed party houses host birthdays.
JumpPark Letňany fills an industrial hall with rows of trampolines, a foam pit, ninja courses, a warped wall, monkey bars, a battle beam and a dodgeball court. Children under 110 cm stay in Kids Jump, a separate zone with small trampolines and building blocks.
The main floor suits older kids and teens. Flips and somersaults are only allowed with a coach.
An indoor illusion museum a short walk from Wenceslas Square, with more than 50 hands-on exhibits about how eyes and brains get fooled. Kids grow and shrink in the Ames Room, lie on a bed of 1,209 nails, cast colored shadows in the RGB Room and dance in a mirrored disco room that seems to go on forever. Cameras are welcome in every room, so expect plenty of photos.
