In this article, I’ll tell you about the best children’s museums in Prague that will leave a lot of positive impressions for the younger (and older) members of the family. As always, I will share ticket prices, a map with information on how to get to each museum, and other useful details.

Our Top 10 Kid’s Museums in Prague

1. Technical Museum

The name suggests that the museum features technology, but you wouldn’t guess the rich variety and quantity of exhibits in advance. Here, you’ll find everything from antique steam engines to airplanes. There are almost seven floors and dozens of halls with thousands of different machines and equipment.

My child and I were particularly captivated by the halls with antique printing presses and even miniature factories. The museum also has its own TV studio and various creative workshops. It’s a mix of KidZania, a museum with exhibits, and interactive playrooms—a modern format for introducing children to technology from different times and cultures.

2. Kingdom of Railways

An interesting museum with models of various trains, featuring miniature versions of Czech towns that look like dollhouses with residents inside. It represents almost the entire country in miniature form. The museum covers an area of 574 square meters and is the largest railway model in Europe.

Despite the name, it’s more of a miniature museum. Each settlement has preserved streets, monuments, and houses. Small human figures bring these tiny towns to life, with trains running on toy tracks enhancing the experience.

3. Lego Museum

The world-famous constructor is the focus of many museums and theme parks worldwide. We’ve seen Legoland in Malaysia, Germany, and Dubai. The Prague museum is smaller, but children are always engrossed in creating and building their unique constructions. The collection includes old and rare models from the first Lego sets, as well as landscapes of Prague and world cultural monuments made from Lego bricks.

Most young visitors particularly enjoy the free playrooms where they can build their own models from an unlimited number of bricks and even take them home for an additional fee. It’s an ideal place for Lego fans, and kids love assembling things. There’s also a good shop with various sets and individual bricks at the museum’s exit.

4. Agriculture Museum

In my opinion, this museum is highly underrated. Despite its rich and unusual exhibition, it’s surprisingly uncrowded. The entire building space is used, from the basement with vintage agricultural equipment and computer simulators for operating it, to the roof, where real vegetable beds grow and offer stunning views of Prague.

The floors have numerous halls dedicated to how food has been sourced on Czech soil for centuries, covering fishing, hunting, animal husbandry, and agricultural crop cultivation. My children visited kitchens from ancient times to the present, played shop, cooked food, and more. We even lost track of time, so engrossed were we by all the fascinating exhibits.

5. Kbely Museum

The war-era aviation museum is located on the outskirts of the Czech capital. It features about a hundred different aircraft, many of which can be touched, and some even climbed into. Needless to say, this is very engaging for children.

The planes are not just lined up but are placed in different thematic hangars according to years and events. The site depicts military actions, with period cars and mannequins dressed in appropriate attire, creating an immersive atmosphere to feel the spirit of the times.

6. Children’s Museum in the New Building of the National Museum

The main museum of Prague and probably the entire Czech Republic. All national treasures of the country are stored within its walls. The museum building itself is a historical structure that majestically rises above Wenceslas Square, with its golden domes hard to miss.

The museum houses various collections, which change over time. A new museum building, more modern in appearance, has also opened nearby. Interestingly, a ticket bought at the museum’s ticket offices grants access not to one but nine Prague museums! It also allows you to visit the Ethnographic Museum, Thimble Museum, Vitkov Memorial, Czech Music Museum, and more.

7. Zeman Museum

The museum of Czech director and animator Karel Zeman boasts unusual mechanisms used in old films. Although they are quite outdated compared to modern special effects, it still feels like stepping into an “Alice in Wonderland” world—strange and captivating.

The museum, though small, is unique and unlike any other museum in the world. Visual “trickery,” 3D-effect illustrations, a mix of mysterious devices with animated scenes… It’s very unusual for children to touch and try all these things.

8. Museum of Alchemy

There are several “alchemy” museums in Prague because the city is steeped in this medieval science. To some extent, the city even stands on it, as many Czech rulers historically not only followed the advice of astrologers and alchemists but also sheltered them. As a result, alchemists from all over Europe flocked to Prague while being anathematized in other countries.

I recommend the Speculum Alchemiae Museum, which we chose based on reviews and were not disappointed. Other museums have more expensive tickets, unpleasant staff, and cheap fake exhibits. But in this museum, stepping into the alchemist’s chamber, you feel that magic is in the air. The museum’s employee tells captivating stories about the lives of science pioneers, and everything around is filled with the spirit of magic. Speculum Alchemiae

9. Museum of Public Transport

The history of transport development from early carriages to modern electric vehicles. The museum has numerous vintage cars and models, as well as a large collection of children’s bicycles and motorcycles.

The museum also offers interactive exhibits where children can try operating a car or even a tram. There’s a large play area for younger children with toy cars and road systems.

10. Museum of Senses

The Museum of Senses is an exciting and interactive museum that offers a unique experience for visitors of all ages. It is a place where reality and imagination merge, creating an environment full of illusions and mind-bending exhibits.
