GRAZ FOR families

A new attraction in the historic centre of Graz: The Slide, in Schlossberg hill, is the largest underground slide in the world. With 170 metres of track steep enough to take you up to a thrilling 30 km/h – down from Schlossberg hill to the Schlossbergstollen caves within. The Slide runs right next to, and indeed around, the Schlossberglift. Anyone can slide, subject to being at least 1.3 metres tall and complying with the safety rules (using special mats, only starting on the green light, no accompanying objects, no tandem-riding). Anyone who wants to be sure of avoiding a queue can pre-book online.

THE FLIGHT GRAZ 4D takes you on an adventurous 10-minute tour of downtown Graz. In the technically ultra-modern 4D adventure cinema you can see the highlights of the city like you have never seen them before! You will accompany a scenic flight through the city center of Graz from the perspective of a fly and visit more than 25 of the most beautiful squares, buildings and sights of the state capital. "The Flight Graz 4D" can be reached via the elevator at Schlossbergplatz or the stairs at the clock tower.

Outdoor exercise is popular with the young and the old and serves kids’ need for movement.  With some incentives and extra pleasures, Graz gives its young visitors that extra something. Walking through Rettenbachklamm they can observe all the creepy crawlies of nature and you should also take some time to visit the Tramway Museum. In addition to playground and children’s zoo, the surroundings of Schloss Lustbühel mansion also sport an observatory. The Botanical gardens impressively illustrate that nature can also be “captured”.
