Of most interest to children is a maze built of mirrors that they can explore. There is also an imitation of the Eiffel Tower, approximately one-fifth the height of the original in Paris. The most fun way to reach Petrin Park is to take the funicular, a cable-propelled train that climbs the hill. It departs from the Mala Strana station. An astronomical clock that dates to 1480 puts on an elaborate show every hour on the hour.
Crowds often start gathering twenty minutes in advance.
Of interest to older children is the Lanterna Majika, or Magic Lantern Show. This is a multi-media performance that combines slideshows, film, music, dance and mime. Themes are often quite surreal and performances are fascinating enough that they sell out quickly. Inc. PageWise makes no representations about the content published on this site.
