Wiener Prater in the heart of the state capital of Vienna is an amusement park run by several showmen. The park was opened to the public in 1766 and since then has been considered one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. Since 1825, the northern part of the Prater, on the grounds of the Wurstelprater, has been home to a large number of restaurants, gaming booths and rides, which create a very diverse and colourful atmosphere.
Fun Fact #1: The Wiener Riesenrad was built in 1897 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the throne of Emperor Franz Joseph I and was one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world at that time.
Fun Fact #2: The artist Edwin Lipburger built the Micronation Republic of Kugelmugel in 1971. The background to this is the spherical construction of the house, which theoretically tangentially touches Austria at only one point and is therefore independent. After 11 years in Lower Austria the house was moved to the Prater in Vienna.
The Böhmischer Prater or Bohemian Prater is a small and historic Tivoli next to the recreational area of Laaer Berg in the Favoriten district of Vienna, Austria. The park features some older amusement rides and some more modern family-friendly equivalents. It also houses a nice restaurant offering all the typical dishes you should not miss when in Vienna.
The Familyparkright next to Lake Neusiedl can be simply described as the perfect family theme park. If you have some children, you will have fun. If you don’t have them yet, you wish you would have some. Even though, the park is fun even without.
The theme park features a lot of great family rides and a bunch of cool roller coasters. Although, the park does not feature any big thrill machines, there is plenty of stuff to do for any coaster enthusiast. Park fans will be completely surprised by the high quality of the theme areas and the love for details in every corner of the park.
