We recently visited the beautiful country of Austria. The views are awe-inspiring with lots to see and do for a visitor to the area. The main tourist industry is skiing but during the summer months with an absence of snow (except in really high areas) the visitor is still well catered for.
Having two children with us we were keen to find some playgrounds for them… we weren’t disappointed. Austria is very child-friendly with some awesome activities for the youngsters. From water parks to swimming pools and wooden castles they had lots to interact with.
One of the favourites was a ‘ball run’. We had to purchase a wooden ball from a vending machine (€1) which the children then rolled down a series of wooden channels which followed a mountain path. This was very popular and the kids loved it… although we did have to make sure it didn’t go too quickly and roll down the mountain instead!
Austria has much to offer, it’s literally a sight for sore eyes with its astounding beauty, great places to eat and drink and friendly locals, but the fact they care so much about children’s fun and entertainment in the great outdoors added a special extra to the vacation.
