★★★★★6 months agoThe weather in Prague was quite refreshing and cool that day, so we decided to visit a museum – and it turned out to be a great decision. This museum is suitable for all ages, from young children to adults, and it is especially enjoyable for families. Our kids had a lot of fun and couldn’t stop exploring. We spent almost two and a half hours there, and the time just flew by. The entrance fees were also very reasonable, which makes the visit even more attractive for families. The children were truly amazed throughout the visit, and even my wife really enjoyed the experience. A perfect indoor activity and definitely worth a visit.
