Praha 6 is one of the greenest corners of the city: wooded valleys and old game reserves for long walks, parks with playgrounds, outdoor pools for summer and puppet theater for rainy days. This list gathers the family plans we've checked across Dejvice, Břevnov and the quieter quarters around them, and it updates as new ones go live.
A puppet play that ties kids' lives today to the dark old legends of Prague. Time stops on the Old Town astronomical clock, an ancient curse wakes, and a creature trapped between the seconds walks into the present. Hurvínek's wish sets it off. There are laughs, but the mood gets eerie, and the story is about love, memory and what can't be undone. Not a light comedy for younger kids.
Prague's transport company, DPP, switches on the Christmas lights on its decorated fleet in the yard of the Střešovice tram depot, home of the Muzeum MHD. Historic and modern trams line up beside buses, a trolleybus and the mazací tramvaj service tram.
Kids can walk around the vehicles and pick a favorite, sing along to carols, join the countdown, then watch the lit-up parade roll out.
A St. Nicholas afternoon inside a historic tram depot. Mikuláš, an angel and a devil walk among the old trams and buses and hand out small gifts, a Czech December tradition. It suits children who enjoy vehicles and are fine with a costumed devil nearby.
Kulaťák is the local name for Vítězné náměstí, the big roundabout in Dejvice, and on Saturdays the square hosts one of the largest regular farmers' markets in Prague. Czech growers and makers sell fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese, meat, fish and flowers, alongside street food stalls and a few foreign delicacies.
Some Saturdays add themed events, such as a small breweries festival, an embassies festival or Advent stalls.
Line 41 is a heritage tram line run by DPP, Prague's transit company, with vintage tram cars on a circuit between the Střešovice depot and the Výstaviště exhibition grounds. The usual route runs past Prague Castle and Letná and crosses the Vltava on Čech Bridge.
The Střešovice end is home to the Public Transport Museum, so a ride pairs easily with a look at older trams and buses.
The home rink of hockey club HC Hvězda Praha: a covered 58 x 28 m ice surface with seating for 300. Outside club training, the ice opens for public skating, and a weekly skating school puts beginners and stronger skaters in separate groups led by the club's youth coaches.
The JB Sport shop rents and sharpens skates, and Kanada Pizza and the HC Bar look out over the ice.
Josef Skupa founded this marionette theater in Plzeň in 1930, the first professional puppet stage in the country. Every show stars the wooden father and son Spejbl and Hurvínek, with Hurvínek's friend Mánička, her grandmother and Žeryk the dog.
Kids watch comedies and musicals, and toddlers get separate shows of their own. Everything is in Czech, so kids who don't speak it follow the puppets more than the jokes.
Ladronka park has two fenced playgrounds, one near the bus stop and a big one by the café at the restored Ladronka farmstead, whose restaurant opens an indoor kids' corner in winter. Around them spread open lawns, more than 4 km of lit in-line track, courts for volleyball and beach football, a disc golf course, and the Šiška lookout tower, a sculpture by Čestmír Suška.
A walled 86-hectare game reserve laid out in the 1500s, with three long tree-lined avenues meeting at the six-pointed Hvězda Summer Palace. Most paths run flat through beech, oak and fir woods, so it suits bikes, scooters and strollers.
There are two playgrounds and two picnic spots with fire pits, plus a traffic playground and volleyball court at the edge. In snowy winters, locals bring cross-country skis.
Ladronka is a big open park on the Strahov-Motol slopes, built around a restored farmstead. Its main draw is a lit 4.6 km loop shared by inline skaters, cyclists, runners and strollers.
Kids get fenced playgrounds that stay open all year, and the farmstead restaurant adds an indoor play corner from October to March. Older kids also find volleyball and beach courts, disc golf and slacklines.
The Šárka stream cuts a 2 km gorge through dark, hard rock here, with two narrow rocky passes and a plateau above. Trails follow the stream and climb to sunny cliff-top meadows, past the earth banks of a Slavic hillfort. Sheep and goats are brought in to graze the slopes.
In summer, an outdoor pool with a kids' wading pool and a slide opens in the valley.
The Public Transport Museum fills the Střešovice tram depot, built in 1909 and now a protected technical monument, with more than 40 historic vehicles: horse-drawn and electric trams, buses and trolleybuses. Kids can walk right up to the cars.
Around them are scale models of vehicles that no longer survive, old tickets, route maps and photos, and archive film of the city's early transit. A good pick for kids who love trams.
