Do toddlers need a ticket?

No. Kids aged 0 to 2 go in free, and so do strollers. Kids 3 to 15 pay the child rate.

Is it cheaper to buy tickets online?

Yes. On the garden's e-shop (in Czech only) adults pay 150 Kč instead of 180 Kč, kids 100 Kč instead of 120 Kč, and a family ticket for 2 adults and 3 kids is 450 Kč instead of 540 Kč.

When does the lantern tent stop taking kids?

Last entry to the lantern-making tent is 5:15pm. If your kid wants a homemade lantern for the 6pm parade, get there well before that.

Can we get turned away at the gate?

It can happen. The garden says it may limit entry if it reaches capacity, so arrive in the afternoon rather than just before the parade.

About

Prague Botanical Garden on the Troja hillside marks Halloween with a full afternoon and evening program. Kids make lanterns in a heated tent, catch music and competitions in the Ornamental Garden, then carry their lanterns on a parade through the garden after dark, past pumpkin installations specially lit for the night. It suits families with kids old enough to walk a stretch in the cold and dark.
