Teenagers want plans that don't feel built for their little siblings. This list keeps to what suits 13 to 17 year olds: shows, outings and places with enough history, challenge or nerve to hold a teen's attention, and none of the puppet shows or soft play. It updates on its own as new listings come in, so check back before the weekend.
A dance revue play about Josephine Baker, the Broadway dancer who made Paris her home, spied against the Nazis in World War II and fought racism all her life. Radka Pavlovčinová plays her through charleston, songs and quick costume changes, with a talkative one-man orchestra and a cheetah named Chiquita.
It suits teens ready to talk about discrimination and about using their own voice.
A ghost comedy based on Tim Burton's cult film. Lydia, still grieving her mother, moves into a house already haunted by a gentle couple, and the chaotic demon Beetlejuice makes everything worse. Expect big effects, dance, energetic songs and black humor. It is a full Broadway-style production on the theater's main stage, and it suits kids who like spooky and silly more than sweet.
GEOLAB is a geography game room run by Charles University's science faculty, part of its Geography Days. Kids and parents hunt for mistakes on maps, work out what satellite images show, and match population pyramids to the right countries. The games go well past capital cities, so it suits curious school-age kids more than preschoolers.
Questerland is an escape game center with several themed rooms, each a locked set where a small team solves puzzles to get out against the clock.
The family pick is the magic-school room: wands that trigger spells, portraits that talk back and the voices of the school's ghosts. The other rooms run on different themes and difficulty levels, so ask which one suits your group when you book.
An underground laser tag arena below Na Příkopě. Players suit up with a vest and blaster, get a short briefing, then play 12-minute rounds through fog, UV-painted walls and obstacles, with scores and stats after each game.
Modes range from free-for-all and red-versus-blue to secret-agent missions. Groups of 8 or more get the arena to themselves and pick the game mode.
Mercuria's Braník branch sits in the old Braník brewery complex and is billed as the largest laser tag arena in the Czech Republic. The Jungle arena (400 m²) has trees, lookouts and temples to hide in; the smaller Spaceship arena is faster. Between games there's a Pixel light-up floor game, two VR simulators and arcades (racing cars, basketball, air hockey). Parents can watch the action on screens in the bar.
An indoor laser tag center in the Lighthouse Towers office complex, with two themed arenas: Golem, the bigger one, and Ocean, an underwater set with moving lily pads, a sunken temple and a jellyfish cave. Players wear vests that track hits and distance, and get a score card after each game.
Between rounds there are arcade machines, two VR simulators and a 200-seat bar serving pizza and snacks.
A marionette theater in an Art Deco hall on Žatecká street, in the historic center of world puppetry, where the puppeteers' organization UNIMA was founded in 1929. The repertoire is built on two well-known marionette operas, Don Giovanni and The Magic Flute. The shows suit families and adults alike.
