Welcome to Vienna’s Prater, where a true classic has stood for pure sliding fun since 1986! The Vienna Slide is no ordinary slide — it is a shining highlight that catches the eye from afar with its striking red-white-red lanes. Standing 15 metres high and stretching 35 metres long, it invites the whole family to an exciting, cross-generational race. Whether grandparents, parents or children: here, a simple slide turns into a real race for victory — with laughter, cheering and plenty of Prater feeling!
Just imagine: you climb the stairs together, and everyone gets a colourful sack to simply place underneath them. Then off you go — up to five people can start at the same time on the smooth, parallel lanes. With momentum and speed, you race 35 metres downhill, each trying to reach the bottom first. The wind rushes past, the slide flashes beneath you, and at the end, victory awaits — or big laughter for the runner-up. It is loud, fast and wonderfully uncomplicated — exactly the right mix of action and fun for all ages. From 5 years old children can ride alone, and from 3 years old when accompanied — everyone can join in!
What makes the Vienna Slide so special? The Austrian colours on the lanes, which make it a true Prater landmark, and above all its competitive character. It is that wonderful feeling when grandpa races against the grandchild, mum against dad or the whole family slides head-to-head. No belt, no gondola — just you, the sack and the smooth lane. It is pure, honest Prater joy that has been delighting young and old for decades and keeps everyone calling: “Again!”
The Vienna Slide is more than just a slide — it is a true piece of the Prater’s soul: simple, warm-hearted and full of good cheer. Whether in bright sunshine, when the colours shine especially beautifully, or on a relaxed afternoon: this is where the most wonderful family memories are made — the kind you will still talk about with a smile years later.
After the slide? The happy faces and the triumphant “I was first!” are the most beautiful souvenirs! And should you wish to capture the moment, the Prater photographers’ action photos preserve the best scenes — the focused face before the start, the big laugh during the ride or the cheering at the finish.
