Very green, very lush, and a great park to walk through. I happened to come through here today on…read moremy way to Schonbrunn Palace. Very child friendly and there was heaps of room for kids to run around, playground included. Outside of the playground area was just green space for people to chill out. The flowers at this time were extremely fragrant and there was a lovely smell emanating through the park as I walked through. Very peaceful, you wouldn't guess that masses of tourists are only 100 metres away going through the palace grounds.

A lovely park right outside the Vienna Technical Museum…read more While it is not the largest park in the world, its size is more than ample, and therefore it more than plays a part in Vienna being a very "green" city. In addition to that which parks usually have, this one also had water pumps - where I think it is necessary to just hold down the handle rather than to pump - but I would not drink this water myself it might be very portable, and safe for pets. This park also has some machines which aid in working out. These are for public use, and are outdoors. While they are not as nice as the ones you would find in a paid gym, they can help you burn a few calories when you're out in the park. Also, has many large grassy areas which are good to lets dogs play off-leash and let out their inner hound. I'm sure the park is even lovelier in the summer!

In the center of Neubau is a large park that my six-year-old daughter loved. Here's why…read more 1) Equipment: There's a sandpit with buckets, a slide, a tunnel maze, and lots of ropes and ladders for skill-based climbing. She had a blast trying to master each station. 2) Water: There's a water spigot for washing your hands and a single outhouse. 3) Tables: There are tables in the shade for all. 4) Murals: There are murals decorated the walls around the park. 5) Fence: It's entirely fenced in.

SCHONBRUNNER PALACE & GARDENS…read more There isn't much more I can say about the actual palace and gardens--they are AWESOME, and a must-see on your Vienna visit. I purchased the Skip-the-Line Guided Tour with GoodViennaTour via Viator. I was very satisfied with the tour, the price, and the guide (I wish I remembered her name). She was very nice and knowledgeable.

One of my favorite parks to visit and tour in Vienna! I have visited the Schönbrunn Schoßpark in…read moreboth the Summer and Winter. The Summer is more recommended as you can picnic and tour their "Maze" (think Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire maze scene). It was still beautiful and majestic in the Winter time. While staying in Vienna, the Schönbrunn is easy to get to from any U-Bahn Station. You transfer to the u4 (Green Line) and Schönbrunn has its own stop so you cannot miss it! In the Summer, I rented a bike and rode from Karlsplatz to the Schönbrunn and it only took 45minutes while riding through the NaschMarkt. (Note: If you ride a bike or scooter to Schönbrunn, you must leave it on the North Side of the Palace so make sure you have a lock!) Give yourself PLENTY of time (3-4hrs) so you can tour the Gardens, Fountains, Maze, and hopefully get a grand tour of the Schönbrunn Palace. A must see in Vienna, Austria!

This playground used to be run-down and dirty. It was renovated over a year ago and now it's…read morebrilliant! There is a nice set-up of playground equipment in a small area. It's a great place to stop by on your way to the Mauß ice cream salon. (And maybe after again too, to work off the sugar rush! )

Took the subway station to Prater, which is like Vienna's version of Golden Gate Park in SF and…read moreCentral Park in NY, and they have a free amusement park you can walk through with a famous giant ferris wheel. I mainly just walked around and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the amusement park, and took a bunch of photos of my surroundings. There were uniformed school marching bands that marched and performed thorughout the park during the afternoon I visited, ranging from elementary-aged children up to high school. I ate a Hungarian flatbread called langos for the first time! Enjoyed a very nice couple of hours just walking around as a tourist.

Ah, the Prater. This is a decently sized amusement park that is fun for both kids and adults! You…read morewill see everything a typical park has, from a shooting gallery to flying swings and a ferris wheel. Prices are reasonable, and you pay at each ride. It's also a neat place just to walk through, as there is no admission fee. The soda vending machines were cheap compared to other places, with a bottle of coke for just 1 Euro! At night the rides are all lit up making for a really cool ambiance. It's fun to listen to the screams and try to figure out which ride they're coming from! Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're in Vienna for the culture, the history, the romance of it all. You still need a little time to break away and experience the fun side, and the Prater will give you that...just go! 43/2025
