The unique children’s museum will undoubtedly catch their attention with its climbing poles, sound effects, water gargoyles, and jumping station.

Don’t forget to miss a ride at Prater

Why not go on a ride at Prater to add some adventurous pages to your memories of Vienna? Prater promises to give you an adrenaline rush in every ride you enter.
