Prague is a city with many museums, but the truth is that for a trip with young children, most of them can be too dense and not very entertaining. In this guide we have selected the most important and suitable for families.

Children's Museums in Prague

Once you have chosen which museums you want to visit, remember to plan a tour with the most attractive areas for the youngest children, and not to gather all the cultural activities in one day. Finishing a visit to a museum with a nice walk through the center and an ice cream can be a good idea.

- National Museum of Prague

The Národní Muzeum or National Museum of Prague is located in one of the most representative buildings of the city and is the most important museum of the Czech capital.

Inside it houses numerous works divided into five permanent collections: Prehistory of Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia, Mineralogical and lithological exhibition, Paleontology, Osteology and Anthropology, Zoology and Decoration and medals from European countries.

On a trip with children you will probably have to select only what you most want to see to avoid that the little ones get tired and get bored. We recommend that you do not stop seeing the zoology collection, very entertaining for the whole family.

In addition to the content, the National Museum is very interesting as a continent. Built between 1885 and 1891 in a neo-Renaissance style, it has beautiful interiors that you will enjoy visiting.

It is located in the southern part of Wenceslas Square.

The holders of the Prague Card do not pay entry. And the first Monday of every month the museum opens its doors for free.

- Museum of Communism

Hosted on the first floor of an old building, the Communism Museum in Prague is a rather peculiar place. Although the theme of it - the history of communism in the Czech Republic - may seem a bit heavy for children, the truth is that the tour of this museum is the most enjoyable.

Small and with recreations of daily life during the communist era -from 1948 to 1989-, the museum manages to keep alive a part of the recent history of the country in an entertaining and educational way for the whole family. Although not very common in the Czech Republic, the explanatory posters of the Museum of Communism are also in Spanish.

It is located on Na Příkopě Street, 10. Do not hesitate to ask if you do not locate it since the truth is that it is not easy to find it.
