We decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the city centre by heading here for the day. The park is so pretty, and there's lots to explore with follys and other old buildings. Nearby too are the planetarium and the exhibition centre (vystaviste) which are amusing places to visit if the weather gets a bit inclement.

Further north than most of the other attractions, train praha bubenec or tram vystaviste

Went here with the kids in tow and we had a great day, so many new animals to see and learn about they were enthralled. This huge park lets them have lots of space too which is always nice to see. There's so much to do you really need a full day, and even then if you get carried away you won't see it all.

Visiting friends in Toronto, we went here quite a bit. They are outdoorsy types and like to walk, but wanted some activities for me too so this was perfect. Sadly Shakespeare season was over but i loved the small zoo and the lake. And if only i was smaller the kids' playground was so appealing!

My family visited Toronto in September and had such fun here at the weekend, there was so much to do! Mini-golf was a highlight, once the adults managed to curb their competitive juices and let the kids have a go, and I liked just chilling looking at the lovely surroundings from the edge of the water park where everyone else was wearing themselves out!
