Are you planning to head out with your children during the upcoming spring holidays for fun, memorable experiences, and interesting learning opportunities? Then we have a great offer for you. From Tuesday, March 3 to Friday, March 6, we are organizing our popular Spring Holidays with the Museum programs at our branches at Vsetín Castle and Observatory.

At the castle, a different creative workshop awaits you each day, along with a spring-themed treasure trail through the castle and playful interactive activities in the exhibitions and displays. Don’t miss the beautiful view from the 60-meter-high castle tower or the knight-themed playroom in the Templar Cellar.

The Observatory is preparing guided tours, interactive activities, video screenings for children, and—weather permitting—telescope observations. The program will be further specified.
