Kid-Friendly Museums in Prague, 12 of 13: Štefánik Observatory


A public astronomy observatory from 1928 on Petřín hill, built against the medieval Hunger Wall. Its three domes hold telescopes, including a historic Zeiss double astrograph in the main dome. On clear days visitors look at the sun and sunspots; after dark, the moon, planets and deep-sky objects. Inside there is a permanent astronomy exhibition, and the Astrobistro café sits on the ground floor.
