Vienna Family Trip

Zoo, Ferris wheel, House of Music and several museums for a relaxed trip with kids in Vienna.

Planned around children's energy, with two or three stops a day. At the House of Music, kids can experience conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in a virtual setting. Schönbrunn Zoo, the world's oldest zoo and home to giant pandas, deserves half a day, and you can add the palace's labyrinth and children's museum. Then see the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum and the ZOOM Children's Museum in the MuseumsQuartier, and finish on the last day at the Technisches Museum. Staying in the Prater area makes the amusement park and Ferris wheel most convenient. Suitable for families with children aged 3 to 12.

Most Prater rides operate from March to October. The Ferris wheel is open year-round.
