Family trip to Ostrava with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

In Ostrava, you can arrange an exciting family vacation. The city has many natural attractions and entertainment centers to offer its guests. Many tourists start their acquaintance with the city from visiting Zoo Ostrava in an amazingly beautiful natural area. Camels, giraffes, and elephants walk freely in its spacious enclosures. Besides, the zoo has a large pond with pink flamingos. The best time to visit the zoo is during the warm season when all its inhabitants live in the open air.

The city has a number of interesting museums, and the most unusual and interesting to visit with kids is the Landek Park Mining Museum. This amazing open-air museum is located in another picturesque park and presents visitors with a unique collection of exhibits, one way or another related to coal mine development. The museum is famous for being opened at the site of an exhausted mine, which eventually fell into disrepair. Children will surely enjoy wandering through the mysterious dungeons. They will also be able to see some old-fashioned tools that were once widely used in coal mining.

Another museum to be explored with school-age children is the Svet Techniky. This museum is nothing like the classical ones, presenting its visitors with an interesting collection of interactive exhibits. During the tour, you'll have a chance to conduct a series of interesting scientific experiments, as well as learn many unobvious facts about the world around. Apart from that, the museum features a small cinema, which often shows popular science films, as well as a small theater where interesting performances for children are staged every day.
