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.
Warm sunny weather has arrived once again and similar conditions are predicted over the weekend. As many know, Prague is full of interesting open spaces all within easy reach without the car. Here are a just a few ideas on how you can spend a sunny spring day in the city.
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.
There is an unusually warm and sunny Easter weekend approaching so why not head out of the city and enjoy the Spring colours as nature explodes after it’s long dormant sleep. Make up a picnic basket, grab your bikes, strollers and walking shoes and explore some of these lesser known spots just an hour or two out of Prague.
Fashion Arena is the biggest outlet mall in the whole of Czech Republic. It is situated in Prague Sterboholy right alongside Jizni Spojka, Prague’s main arterial road that runs towards Hradec Kralove. You cannot miss this mall because its flags are visible from a long distance. How convenient was it to discover that they have an Indoor Playground with Babysitting as well as an outdoor Playground.
Get Your wallets ready and treat yourself to some shopping therapy!!! Over 100 outlets await!!!
I.P. Pavlova is a busy transit point for many city commuters and as a result you have a MacDonald’s and KFC touting for business. If like me you prefer something a little more wholesome, with a kid’s corner and high chairs then you’ll be pleased to hear that Pizza Coloseum has opened their latest restaurant here.
It’s a small Chateau in Kunice just a few km away form Prague towards Brno. The owners decided to change their gardens into fairy tale land for kids with fairy tale creatures and miniatures of Czech castles. Part of the whole complex is a Mini Zoo, a large playground, tennis courts and indoor table tennis. We spent perfect Sunday afternoon here.
At the moment the Chateau is being reconstructed into a hotel with a restaurant and it will be opened in July, 2011. Together with the gardens it belongs to a Czech family who invested their own money to create this fairy land for kids.
They promised the biggest display of train models in the whole of the Czech Republic. And, they didn’t lie. Passing by the building at Andel, I never knew there is such a huge showroom underground. I am not kidding when I say that I was overwhelmed.
