July 26, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

MAMUZ Schloss Asparn/Zaya

MAMUZ Schloss Asparn/Zaya gives visitors the opportunity to really experience 40,000 years of history. The exhibition invites visitors of all ages to experience history at interactive stations – seeing, for example, how tricky it is to make a copy of a longhouse in miniature form. Just by looking at the setup and design of the building, visitors can already see that MAMUZ Schloss Asparn/Zaya contains a highly varied and fascinating history of the human race. The exhibition and the open-air site alone leave room for imagination. In addition, the museum also hosts events to give visitors the opportunity to celebrate alongside the Celts and Huns. With historical handcraft, hardworking people are asked to get an idea of how a bow is made or iron is smelted.

Schonbrunn Children’s Museum

Reviewed By AFAK25 - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Visit to Vienna can be a bit dry for children as the city is especially known for its arts, culture and cafe culture as well. Moreso in winter when it is too cold to go for activities in the Zoo or Prater. Then I thought why not give them some indoor fun at Children's Museum at Schonbrunn. Furthermore there were some negative reviews given by other visitors who went for the palace tour (too rushed, can't take pictures, crowded, etc.). After touring the gardens we went to the Children's Museum. Maybe we were the first visitors because we did not see another soul until much later. We took advantage of this by trying out the costumes, let the kids use the blue slide, trying out the wooden toys, and observe the various specialised rooms a prince would use in his daily routines. Then there were sobering moments of viewing the rotating illustrations that show the differences in the life of a prince and a commoner. How different they were treated when they got sick, go for education, eat, etc. My children saw the unfairness in life and were grateful for the comfortable life they have now. We were there for more than an hour. A bit generous for a small sized museum and the tickets for a family of 2 adults and 3 children comes up to EUR26.50 which may sound a lot but if my kids were happy than I should be too.

I went to visit Trickymind with my children. It was a fun visit for all of us - including us parents!! Our children took many animated pictures with Mythological and modern creatures. The paintings are of amazing quality and to top it up there were Austrian classical artist in giant exhibition. I can recommend this to anyone, wether younger or older! Worth a trip when in Vienna!!!
