Well this was a great treat. Loved that I could walk around and amusement park and partake in rides, games, vendors and restaurants all without an entrance fee. Tickets are available throughout but you can choose single rides to packages or just stroll around. Great for individuals, couples, families. Easy access to trains. If your hungry I highly recommend the Schweizerhaus garden ( see my review)

A 1766 amusement park inside a massive public park? We'd go even if we didn't have a six-year-old. As a surprise one evening while in Vienna, we took our daughter here. She (and we) had a blast. It's free to enter and every ride is pay-as-you-go. Each ride has a kiosk next door where you pay with card or some require cash only. (There are ATMs throughout the park.) There are fun houses, horse rides, roller coasters, and an old Ferris wheel. There are also restaurants and food stands. Each ride is between 3-5 Euros per person. We let our daughter pick five rides. The water slide and the fun house we're her favorites!

One of the oldest amusement park in Europe and oldest Ferris wheel. It's an outdoor park and free to get in. You only pay for what you want to ride. We came here just for the giant Ferris wheel. We stood in line for 20 minutes to get tickets then they put you in a holding room for five minutes. Then to another line to get on the wheel. Once you're in the air, it's another 20 mins to go around. I would say a good hour from beginning to end to ride the wheel. Best way to see the city from above. Highly recommend! There's a middle bench if you want to sit. Otherwise it's all standing and windows throughout.

Prater is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. It's been around since 1766. Admission to the park is free. There is only a charge for any of the rides/attractions. The most popular thing to see here is the giant Ferris wheel, which was built in 1897. The whole look and feel of the amusement park reminded me of the rides one would see at a country fair or a small carnival in the U.S.. They seemed a little cheap and not that impressive. The only ride I went on was the Ferris wheel, which has 15 gondolas and goes up to about 215 feet. It offers a good view of the city. Overall, I felt the park was just OK and all the attractions seem pretty cheap and antiquated. The Ferris wheel maybe worth checking out for the history, but other than that, I would skip everything here.

Be careful of this stand!! in my opinion, it's a tourist trap!! not only the drink was undrinkable and cost 8€ (had to throw it away), but the seller is awful, un-nice person who trie, to my experience, to take advantage of tourists not knowing his language. Completely ruined our whole experience here.

A really nice park to visit, that is also free to walk around in. The rides are way over priced at about $5 per person. But the park is super clean and does have tons of rides, food and games to enjoy.

Very famous park in Vienna build in 1766, then got fired and was reconstructed in 1945. It was fantastic!!! You have so many options that you could stay for a whole day: rollercoasters, video games, carrousel, kartings, everything you could imagine. You have several options to eat inside the park too. There is no entrance fee, you pay at each game (4 euros each in average). We had so much fun! Muy famoso parque de diversiones de Vienna construido en 1766, después se incendió y lo reconstruyeron en 1945. Fue fantástico!!! Tenes tantas opciones que te podrías quedar un día entero: montañas rusas, video juegos, calesitas, kartings, todo lo que se te pueda imaginar. Tenes varias opciones para comer dentro del parque también. No se paga una entrada, se paga cada juego (en promedio salen 4 euros cada uno). Nos divertimos tanto!

First a bit of history: originated in 1780. This is the playground for Vienna. I guess you can say Vienna's mini Disneyland. The Prater is a massive amusement park. There is so much to do and you don't have to be a child to enjoy. It is free to enter the park, you pay to utilize the rides. There is a kiosk located not too far from entrance to purchase tickets. As you enter, there is a great vibe to let yourself get caught up in. I felt like a kid marveling at the set up of the rides, the smell of hot punsch served in ceramic stocking mugs and the crisp wintry air. The locals chatting at stand up tables, nibbling on hotdogs and seeing the excitement in each child's eyes, made this visit quite special. There is also a planetarium to soak up some science. Of course there is a Xmas Market and a huge souvenir shop. The shop sells everything from kitchen mitts, to Mozart music boxes, Klimt objects and magnets. The only downfall was 1 cashier was working on such a busy day. As all over Europe you have to pay to use the lavatory. The park is accessible by Tram or Metro. Biggest star of the park: the Ferris wheel. Ah to be a kid again!

I didn't know I was going to a fair. I thought it was just a park. I thought this place was so neat. There's free entry (is that standard?) And you pay for rides. My friends and I went on a swing ride for 3 euros, there was another one we liked for 8 euros. There are lots of places to eat and they are quite affordable. The park is clean, there are plenty of restrooms (50 cents), there's a Madame Tussaud's in there, and some really neat rides and roller coasters. It was a ton of fun.

This is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. It's a typical amusement park found everywhere people need to go and have fun riding rides that excite, amuse, and allow you to admire the sights from high vantage points while spinning, rolling or being rocked gently. What could be more fun? It's mostly for teenagers but the young at heart no matter how young that is will always find enjoyment here. There's plenty of junk food, too. It's easy to get to via the metro. When you tire of all the awe and wonder the museums and art galleries offer, treat yourself to some good old fun at the amusement park.
