Indoor Playgrounds

Approximately a month ago I found a great place. It is called Medvídek and it is located in Na Bělidle Street, Prague 5 directly on Anděl (about 100 m far from Anděl tram stop). It is a mummy club and it is divided into three parts – mini cafe, gym and children area. When you enter into Medvídek, you will meet very friendly staff (English and French speaking, by the way) and you are in the central part – in the cafe. You can get here not only tea or coffee, but wines, hot wine and delicious cake. You can also buy food and drinks for your children.

My friend Maria and I chose Clovickov Indoor Playground to host the 3rd birthday of our sons. Here they have a separate room for birthday parties where you cut the cake, have a dance with the mascot and eventually all the kids go out to play at the Indoor Playground. It’s a perfect set-up and we were more than happy. All we had to do was to book and organise it.

There is a new dental surgery, which recently opened its doors to both children at adults, located just a few steps away from the trams and Metro stops of Náměstí Míru. Both Czech and English is spoken by the dental staff, and as the premises is located on the ground floor, there is also direct wheelchair access. Very importantly, unlike many other expat dental surgeries in Prague, it will not cost you an arm and a leg, each time that you visit.

Vytaviste INCHEBA showground has always played host to Prague’s traditional St Matthew’s Fun Fair also known as “Matějská Pouť”. This funfair varies in size, depending on the time of year, but is at its biggest and fullest (with a plethora of attractions) between 27.02. - 18.4.2010. It is believed to be the first ever Spring funfair in Europe and offers attractions and entertainment value on par with that available in Germany or even in Vienna’s Prater. About 20 of the attractions will remain in the grounds after the funfair is over, operating for the rest of the year.

Sunday brunch at the Mövenpick has changed a little bit recently. You now have to go by cable car to get to the top of the hill, where the Il Giardino Restaurant is located. This all feels a bit like going up to a Swiss mountain ski hut (especially in the winter) and your kids are guaranteed to love the novelty of the ride.

Every Thursday from 10:00 till 14:00 there is a Babysitting service at The Hilton Hotel Fitness Centre and Spa. I found this out by accident when I went there without the kids for a workout and Sauna, so I didn’t see the babysitter in person. Yet, here are some pictures of the Play Room and the whole set up and the Babysitter speaks English. Childminding cost 250 CZK per child, so it pays to stay for at least 3 hours. Easily done if you combine a workout or Pilates with a Sauna or cosmetic treatment. You can also go to the hairdresser too. SO LETS GET FIT WITH THE NEW YEAR!

If you need a baby sitter from time-to-time or if your babysitter happens to cancel you can bring your kids to Medvidek Family Centre with a Cafe, Gym and Indoor Playground on site. At the centre an English and French speaking lady with good references is available. You can also take advantage of the gym classes offered safe in the knowledge that you child is well looked after in the same complex.

Did you know that Cricket is played, watched and loved by millions of people all around the world?
If your kid understands cricket, they are guaranteed to be able to strike up a good conversation with just about anyone who comes from England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, the Caribbean, and many more ‘cricket mad’ countries around the globe!

Have you ever watched those makeover shows where clueless women such as me are shown around by a stylist who effortlessly throw together a series of creative looks which enhance and flatter. Well here in Prague you have the opportunity to attend a workshop with one of the UK’s best known stylists Claire Ginzler. Claire has worked at London and Paris Fashion Weeks and on cult British shows How To Look Good Naked, Ten Years Younger and The Clothes Show.

Don’t let the winter pass you by without trying some outdoor ice-skating. This particular rink is located very close to the banks of the Vltava River and is actually a part of a larger public playground (Verejne Hriste). It is just a stone’s throw away from the Hospital Na Frantisku (Nemocnice Na Frantisku).
