Visit to the Prater Amusement Park

As a feedback exploration, Fan and I went to the Prater Park on this warm sunny Tuesday. In order to know more about the direction, we read the blog that posted by Tori and Ryan carefully before we left. Thanks for their useful information; we found the park without any problems. The Riesenrad is definitely a landmark building, it’s super easy to see it when you get off at the Praterstern station. As what exploration team posted, there are many rides, games and beer gardens in the park. It’s a good place for people who want to have a completely relaxing day.

Fan and I brought some food and had a nice small picnic on the lawn. We had such a great time with sunshine and fresh air. Although the temperature spurted these days, it still wasn’t warm enough to get on the water rides. Both of us are pretty sure that we’ll come back to have more fun here once the weather warms up.

Instead of the famous Riesenrad Tori and Ryan suggested, Yawen and I rode the “Prater Turm”. The Turm is really tall, even taller than the Riesenrad. We payed for 5 dollars each and got a blue plastic card as the entrance ticket. After we put our bags on the shelf, we sat on the swings and fastened the belts. The ride was really pleasant. The speed of the swings wasn’t fast at first but speeded up really fast when we were preparing for landing. The wind was blowing really hard on the top of the turm. However, the view was amazing. The swings rotated in circles so we got to see the whole view of Vienna. It was so beautiful and worth of riding. Besides the Prater Turm, we also recommend everyone to go for a walk in the park nearby the rides and enjoy the green grassland and sunshine!
