Vienna is one of Europe’s cultural centers, best known for its rich history, art scene, and architectural beauty, but that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it if you’re visiting with your entire family. The Austrian capital is home to many amazing kid-friendly attractions and here are three of the very best.
Prater
Prater is one of Vienna’s most popular public parks and it’s home to Wurstelprater, the city’s landmark amusement park. It features everything from bumper cars to carousels and roller coasters, but its most popular attraction is the Wiener Riesenrad Ferris wheel, one of the timeless symbols of Vienna.
Schönbrunn Zoo
If zoos happen to be your idea of a perfect family-friendly attraction, Vienna won’t leave you disappointed. A visit to this city is incomplete without making a stop at Schönbrunn Palace and the city’s main zoo is located on its grounds. It’s been around since 1752 and it’s the world’s oldest zoo still in operation.
ZOOM Kindermuseum
Vienna is home to several hands-on museums for people of all ages and ZOOM Kindermuseum is one of its best attractions of this kind. It’s specifically aimed at kids and it’s home to play and experimentation areas, an animation studio, and workshops.
