Water Parks in Czechia with Kids: Top 10 for 2026

Updated: 19.07.2026

The best water parks in Czechia for families with kids are Aquapalace Praha just outside Prague, Aqualand Moravia in Pasohlávky, Centrum Babylon in Liberec, and the city-run Aquacentrum Šutka in Prague itself. Nearly all of them have shallow kids' pools, "soft" slides, splash zones, and family tickets — and toddlers under 100 cm usually get in free.

Water parks in Czechia run all year round: they're indoors, heated, and weather-proof — perfect for a weekend, school holidays, or a rainy day. In this roundup we've gathered ten tried-and-tested spots for families, from the giant Aquapalace near Prague to a thermal park in northern Moravia. For each one we cover what's on offer for kids, ballpark 2026 prices and opening hours, and how to get there. Prices and hours change, so check the water park's official website before you go.

How to Choose a Water Park for Your Family

Focus on three things. First, the kids' ages: little ones need a shallow kids' pool (splash zones, 20–40 cm deep) and "slow" slides, while teens will want adrenaline-pumping toboggans and "space bowl" funnel slides. Second, distance: Aquapalace, Šutka, and Vodní svět Kolín are convenient day trips from Prague, while Aqualand Moravia or Termály Losiny mean a proper day out — or an overnight stay. Third, budget: city pools in Prague start at 140–215 Kč, while the big water parks run 550–1,400 Kč per adult, so family tickets are almost always the better deal.

1. Aquapalace Praha, Čestlice

The largest indoor water park in Czechia and the go-to option for families near Prague. It has more than a dozen water slides and toboggans, the legendary Space Bowl funnel slide, and Divoká řeka ("Wild River") — the country's longest toboggan at 250 m — plus the VR slide MagicTube. Kids get their own family zone with a shallow pool, a splash play area, and "soft" slides.

Where: Pražská 138, Čestlice, just past Prague's outer ring road. Getting there: a free AQUABUS shuttle runs from the Chodov and Opatov metro stations (line C) with a valid water park ticket. 2026 prices (Vodní svět, full-day pass): around 1,249–1,399 Kč for adults, roughly 949–1,099 Kč for children, family tickets from ~3,549 Kč; kids under 100 cm go free (children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult). Weekdays (Mon–Thu) are cheaper, and the online e-shop weekday rate often applies on weekends too — check the website for exact pricing.

2. Aqualand Moravia, Pasohlávky

Czechia's largest resort-style water park, fed by natural thermal water at the foot of Pálava in southern Moravia. The pools are filled with natural thermal water, there are both indoor and outdoor zones, and more than twenty slides and toboggans — enough for a full day of family fun. A separate wellness zone with saunas is for adults only (15+).

Where: Pasohlávky, near Mikulov; it's about 250 km from Prague, so it's best combined with an overnight stay or visited as part of a South Moravia trip. Hours: daily 10:00–21:00 (wellness from 12:00), last entry 19:30, pools and slides close around 20:40.

There are also Finnish saunas and steam baths for adults.

Where: Praha 8, Kobylisy; easy to reach by bus or tram from Kobylisy metro station (line C).

Useful Tips for a Family Water Park Trip

Bring your own flip-flops, a swim cap (mandatory in the lap lanes at some pools), swim diapers for toddlers, and a small snack — restaurants inside tend to be pricier. Many water parks sell discounted online tickets with a time limit, so plan how many hours you'll spend inside. Height restrictions on slides are strictly enforced, so check in advance whether the rides suit your child's age and height.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's the best water park in Czechia for a family near Prague?

For a full day out, Aquapalace Praha in Čestlice, with its free AQUABUS shuttle from the metro. For a budget visit within Prague itself, try Aquacentrum Šutka, and just outside the city, Vodní svět Kolín is a solid option.

At what age can kids go on the slides?

Soft kids' slides and paddling pools are open to toddlers with an accompanying adult, while the big toboggans usually have height and age restrictions — for example, in Olomouc the indoor toboggan requires kids to be at least 10, and the outdoor one at least 6. Exact rules are posted at the entrance and on each water park's website.

Do kids get in for free?

At many water parks, children under 100 cm tall get in free when accompanied by an adult (Aquapalace, Centrum Babylon, Termály Losiny). Others use age limits instead: Aqualand Moravia is free for under-6s, Šutka for under-2s, and Olomouc for under-3s.

Are water parks open in winter?

Yes — all the water parks listed here are indoor and open year-round, regardless of weather. Outdoor pools and summer zones (like the rooftop pool in Brno or the outdoor area at Termály Losiny) only open during the warm season.

Where's the best place to buy tickets?

Almost everywhere, online e-shop tickets are cheaper than buying at the box office — savings can reach up to 200 Kč, as at Aqualand Moravia. Family tickets (2 adults + 1–3 children), available at most water parks, are also a good deal.
