A Day Full of Fun, History, and Views

Planning a trip and wondering what to do in Prague so that both adults and kids enjoy it? And ideally without worrying about the weather?

Here’s a simple answer: spend your day in Prague in one place that combines history, entertainment, technology, and great food.

Welcome to Máj – House of Fun, right in the city center. A place where you can easily spend hours and walk away with a feeling that you’ve truly experienced Prague—not just seen it.

Máj – House of Fun: A Building That Refused to Grow Old

Few buildings in Prague have a story as strong as Máj. This department store on the corner of Národní and Spálená streets opened in 1975 and immediately stood out—its functionalist high-tech design was unusually bold for its time. It became a symbol of modernity during the socialist era—a place where people came not only for shopping, but for a glimpse of a different world.

After a demanding reconstruction, the iconic building has returned in a completely new role—as House of Fun, where reality blends with playfulness and every floor surprises.

Today, across multiple floors, you’ll find more than 200 attractions, seven bars, an interactive museum, a rooftop restaurant, and a viewpoint 40 meters above the city. The transformation worked—Máj is buzzing from morning till night, attracting not only tourists but also a younger generation.

Butterflies on Máj

The butterfly-shaped Spitfires on the façade are impossible to miss. Hundreds of tourists photograph them every day.

But do you know what they represent?

If you’re deciding what to do in Prague, this is the experience you shouldn’t miss. Located on the 6th floor, Back in Time is not a traditional museum—it’s a journey. In just 50 minutes, you’ll travel through 1,200 years of Prague’s history using cutting-edge technology.

The butterflies symbolize transformation and freedom, while the planes reference Czechoslovak pilots of World War II. Together, they represent peace, hope, freedom, and democracy.

Back in Time: the highlight of your Prague itinerary

Holograms, a 5D cinema, surround sound, and special effects like wind, mist, and movement make you feel like you’re inside the story.

It’s designed for both kids (from age 6) and adults, making it one of the best things to do in Prague with family or even as a couple looking for something different.

Instead of reading history, you experience it.

Heroes Park: step into a world of superheroes

On the 7th floor, you step into a completely different world—the world of comics.

Heroes Park spans 750 m² and brings the most famous movie superheroes to life in full scale.

Enter a comic universe, experience projections and illusions, test your knowledge in a Deadpool quiz, discover what Hulk can do, and explore behind-the-scenes movie facts.

Unique photo spots and exclusive merchandise—from figures to collectibles—make this a hit not only with kids, but with fans of all ages.

LEVELS: Fun for the Whole Group

Looking for something for older kids, teens, or a group of friends?

LEVELS, the largest indoor entertainment center in Europe, spans three floors of Máj.

You’ll find over 200 arcade games, a rodeo bull, racing simulators, mini golf, darts, billiards, and several bars. It’s the perfect place to take a break from history and dive into adrenaline-filled fun.

Fly Vista: one of the best views in Prague

No day in Prague is complete without a view.

At the top of Máj, Fly Vista offers a rooftop experience with panoramic views of the city. After exploring Prague’s history below, you can now see it from above—calm, beautiful, and unforgettable.

A Food Lover’s Paradise

At Máj, you won’t go hungry. If you didn’t already indulge at LEVELS or Fly Vista, head to the second floor.

The food court offers something for everyone—from burgers (try the iconic Five Guys), Czech classics, and international cuisine to authentic Italian pizza.

It’s the ideal place to relax, share your experiences, and plan the rest of your day.

Everything Under One Roof

This is exactly why Máj – House of Fun ranks among the best places to spend a day in Prague—especially when it rains.

Everything is under one roof: experiences, food, views, and endless entertainment. No unnecessary transfers, no wet shoes, no wandering around.

Located right on Národní Street, just steps from the city center, it’s easily accessible by metro or tram.

If you’re planning to visit Back in Time with a larger group, it’s a good idea to book your tickets in advance—especially on weekends, when it often sells out.
