Playgrounds,
Birthday Venues and Ideas

Traffic Rule playgrounds are set up by local council to help kids improve their bike, scooter or skate skills whilst learning all the road signals and rules. Karen has previously covered the amazing Traffic Playground in Prague 9 with it’s own petrol station and option to rent motorised cars plus another good one in Prague 6. I also know of ones in Prague 4, 7 and there is bound to be more - even in towns and villages - just search for DOPRAVNÍ HŘIŠTĚ in your local area. For me, it was my turn to check out our local version in Prague 3.

I was not expecting this when I went to visit this newly opened Cafe in Hostivar. It is big. Built in a former factory hall that has enough space to fit in a two floor climbing construction with slides, bikes and scooter track together with a good number of tables to chill out at. I thought this place it just too far for me to go with the boys regularly, but after visiting it – we will be back!

Finally, we made it to one of the best ZOOs in the Czech Republic and after visiting, it’s now our favorite. It’s a 1.5 hour drive from Prague, so a cool day trip. The Zoo is compact in size despite it’s additional safari grounds and we had the feeling that the animals looked happy despite their captivity. The Safari by Bus was thrilling and since 1 June you can experience the Safari Park in your own car!!! Which is a huge deal!

As I was walking with the boys through the streets of our beautiful city last weekend, enjoying the fantastic weather, we stumbled across a real gem right opposite the city department store My on Narodni Trida.

Here is a pre-holiday workshop especially for mums (and also dads) with an interest in improving their photography. Like me, you may have been disappointed with your vacation or party photos and are bewildered by your camera settings. This course teaches you how to better capture the moments by improving your technique and learning what your camera is capable of.

What a Scream!!! My whole family including Marcus (5) and Nicolas (4) went to try out the new Skydive Arena which offers you the possibility of flying in free-fall within the safety of a wind tunnel. Unbelievable fun and I was again amazed at how kids pick up on sports much faster than adults.
Now we are looking for a sponsor to take us again because it isn’t a cheap hobby. Any volunteers??? :-)

Do you have any books that your children have loved but outgrown? Or are you soon to move elsewhere and happy to donate your children’s books to a very good cause? The Vinohrady branch of Prague City LIbrary in association with Class Acts are asking for donations of Children’s books in English, in order to establish a new collection for teachers and parents to borrow and share with kids. Please help this worthy cause if you can!

I don’t know of any Science Museums here in Prague and seeing as we had Kuba, our clever Canadian nephew visiting we decided to introduce boys to IQ Park in Liberec. The IQ Park is part of the Babylon complex which has lots of entertainment for the whole family.
