Party Zone Vogosca

In October this year PartyTimeBH opened a new and different place for parents and children Party Zone in Vogosca, WOG center, 2nd floor. It is a large space with new concepts catering to children's creativity and imagination.

Every Monday at 6PM there is a Lego club, first Lego club in Bosnia. Children get different assignements with a certain amount of blocks with which to build.

Every Tuesday 6PM there are music workshops, where the children learn all about the beat and rythm while playing different instruments.

From January we will start organizing coding school for little ones every Wednesday 6PM. More information on the FB page https://www.facebook.com/partytime.zona

Every Friday at 6PM we have a Little Parenting School, going over the most important subjects that concern the parents. Some subjects include early education, dealing with temper tantrums, stages of moral reasoning etc.

Starting in December there are workshops organized every day with a focus on making holiday greeting cards, ornaments for the Christmas tree, Santas, snowmen, and much more.

14.12. and 21.12. at 11AM we are organizing Breakfast with Santa, with pancakes and hot chocolate.

PartyZona organizes new things all the time and all the new events will be announced on the PartyZona FB page.

Zoo / Djecija Oaza / Pionirska dolina

“Djecija Oaza” Ul. Slatina, opening times: 09.00 to 21.00 – might change in winter time, entrance fee: 1 KM

This beautiful Sarajevo natural park is suitable for small excursions and picnics with children. They can -besides domestic animals and birds- see some wild animals like two brown bears and antilopes. There is a nice big playground which is also suitable for younger children and there are some other child amusements (train, merry-go-round, electric cars, etc.).

Terme Riviera Ilidza / Thermal Bath Ilidza

Ul. Butmirska cesta br. 18, Ilidza, tel. 033 771 000, www.terme-ilidza.ba, opening times: 09.00 to 22.00

Coming into Ilidza you drive to the left at the first round-abound. After a few hundred meters you see the swimmingpool. It is clean and spacious. Best is to come in the mornings because there is hardly anybody. Beds are for rent. Outside, the last pool at the premises has waves every hour or so. It is great for (small) children because it is not deep. It is like the sea side, going slowly deeper.
Inside, there are two pools, one large for older ones and one small, shallow one which is really warm.

National Musem, Botanical Garden and Wilson's Walk and

National Museum: Zmaja od Bosne Street 5, opening times: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 10.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m., Sunday 10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m., entrance fee: 5 KM, phone: 210 418 (Please keep in mind these weird opening times when planning to go there!)

Besides a huge cultural heritage collection (archaeological and ethnographic) the museum has a natural history collection with indigenous animals and birds as well as a huge collection of insects from all over the world. There is also a collection of shells and minerals which might be of interest to older children. The beautiful botanical garden in the square in the centre of the building is also a small oasis away from traffic noise and the summer heat. It has a fish pond and is a good place for younger kids to play. The museum is on the main road in the direction of Mostar - just past the Holiday Inn which is on the opposite side of the road.

After visiting the museum you can go for a walk along the bank of the Miljacka river which is called Wilson´s Walk. The road is closed after 5pm every evening, every weekend and on public holidays. It is a tree-lined walk (480 lime trees were planted in 1906) and there are 2 and 4-seater bikes for hire which contain baby/child seats. You can also have a nice coffee in the Cafe Tito or Cafe Tort-i-to. There is also a nice swing park for children on the opposite side of the river from the museum about 20 metres downstream past Cafe Cappuchino.

Playground on Vilsonovo Setaliste

Looking for a nice place to let the little ones play after taking a nice shady stroll (and perhaps a piece of cake at Torte I To)?

There is a playground for little children near Vilsonovo Setaliste not too far from Torte I To (on the same side of the river along the walking path.)

Vrelo Bosna / The Bosna source

Vrelo Bosne is a beautiful large quiet park surrounding natural water springs. In the center is a restaurant and playground. There are small bridges to cross and plenty of space for little ones to run around or take a horse and carriage ride along the tree lined road (approx 2miles).

Take the main road out of the city towards Mostar (Marsala Tita turning into Zmaja of Bosne, etc.). When you get closer to Ilidza (pass Radon Plaza hotel), keep going as if you were to go to Mo-star, but keep left on the ramp and go through the tunnel leading to Ilidza. After the tunnel, keep straight for a mile or so. Turn left at the intersection with a yellowish Orthodox church on the right hand side. The parking for Vrelo Bosne will be at the end of that road (half a mile or so). This will take you directly to the park.

Alternatively, if you wish to take a horse carriage to Vrelo Bosne, do not go all the way to the Orthodox Church, but turn left for Hrasnica. Keep straight until you see the horse carriages. There is a parking lot there, as well.
