Traveler reviews
Rawan Alsebaie
★★★★★10 months agoWe visited the amusement park at night and on a weekday so it wasn't crowded. The atmosphere at night is so spooky! We only played two games, but had so much fun. (Perfect for spooky season!) We rode the horror house and played the shooting game. We ate churros and they were delicious.

★★★★★2 months agoSpectacular, well maintained ride - we visited Prater in the morning around 11am, while most attractions were closed - just the magnificent Prater Turm made the trip to the otherwise dead at this time Prater Park worthwhile.
