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.
