The city has a number of interesting museums, and the most unusual and interesting to visit with kids is the Landek Park Mining Museum. This amazing open-air museum is located in another picturesque park and presents visitors with a unique collection of exhibits, one way or another related to coal mine development. The museum is famous for being opened at the site of an exhausted mine, which eventually fell into disrepair. Children will surely enjoy wandering through the mysterious dungeons. They will also be able to see some old-fashioned tools that were once widely used in coal mining.
Another museum to be explored with school-age children is the Svet Techniky. This museum is nothing like the classical ones, presenting its visitors with an interesting collection of interactive exhibits. During the tour, you'll have a chance to conduct a series of interesting scientific experiments, as well as learn many unobvious facts about the world around. Apart from that, the museum features a small cinema, which often shows popular science films, as well as a small theater where interesting performances for children are staged every day.
It's not always easy to get children interested in the study of historical sights, but Ostrava has the right place they will definitely love - the wonderful castle Silesian-Ostrava. This is not just another pretty castle with a long history but an entertainment complex where you can spend exciting hours. The historic building houses many sculptures and unusual benches, as well as special installations against which visitors can take original memorable photos. An original museum opened inside the castle introduces its guests to national crafts, and a great cafe serves them on the castle grounds in summer.
