The Playground is a huge, multi-level family entertainment centre situated on Prague's main
shopping street, Na Prikope. At The Playground, visitors can participate in a range of attractions and activities, and browse for games and toys in the shopping areas.
The attractions are suitable for children, teenagers and adults, and range from classic fairground amusements to modern high-tech games. At the centre of The Playground is a life-size Venetian carousel featuring horses and royal carriages. Other attractions include a 100 m˛ mirror maze filled with vibrant lights and sound effects, arcade games in which you journey through Jurassic Park, and a racing track with remote-controlled cars and hydraulic excavators.
For enthusiasts of modern technology, a DIVR labs virtual reality attraction features 3 thrilling games. The adventurous Golem transports you to 16th century Prague. A creepy Arachnoid throws you into a secret underground laboratory. While in the Last Stand, you need to save the earth from zombies. In the Mercuria Laser Game Arena, players find themselves in Asia, USA, France or icy Antarctica, and compete either individually or in teams of two to twelve people.

And once you are finished, the fastest way to return to the ground floor is via a giant slide!
