Relaxing day in the gardens
I really liked this attraction. With toddler we skipped the first part and only had a walk in the gardens, but there are couple of them so it takes times, before you see them all. I liked the free parking, the prices were good as well - you can only pay with the special coins that you exchange there. I will surely come back to have a nice walk. Outside there is also a ship with their own cosmetics etc.

Great trip for family with kids
Really nice garden complex with activity for kids in open Craft center where they can do the following activity: I would recommend age 5+ for most of the activities. Kids return to the history and can try traditional the Middle Age craft: pottery - they can create own plate, cup, candlestick you need to reserve approx. 30 -40 minutes here and then count with the fact that the product needs some time for drying before you take it home, soap making - it does not take too long and it's quite easy. You can also produce your own candle - it takes also approx. 25 minutes to finish it, but kids can start and then make a break, leave the part they already did with name and return later. They can try weaving, paper production that is really interesting, cleavage, blacksmith craft or gold mining. First you can go around all the crafts and see which one you choose to try. Later the kids can see in the garden complex sheep and other animals. The craft village in Ostra is really amazing. It is a great fun kids. It is open from April till October. It takes you approx 45 minutes to get there from Prague by car but you can go there by train too. Do not forget to try pancakes with home made jam. At the entrance, when you pay for the tickets, you can exchange Czech Crowns into local Ostra craft village grosh which you can use later in Craft centers. Parking is free of charge.
