Things to see and do with kids in Vienna

Boasting wonderful scenery and amazing outdoors activities, Vienna is a great place for children on holiday and the family to enjoy. From walks, to bike rides and hikes, there is plenty to see and do in Vienna that will keep active children entertained for hours on end.

Take a walk through the breathtaking Vienna Woods, or pack a picnic and head out for the day to the Wiener Prater where the kids will have ample space to run around and let off some steam, and when the novelty wears off, head to the Planetarium, which is also located here. Kids will love watching the world famous Lipizzaner stallions as the 'fly' through the air, or for superb views over the city of Vienna, take a ride on the Giant Wheel.

When the weather is cold and wet, why not explore BOGI Park, Austria's largest indoor playground. Children will be beside themselves with the choices here and the opportunity to meet other kids. And if the children aren't scared of clowns, the Circus and Clown Museum is also worth a visit.
