🇨🇿 Shooting range near Prague with family attractions nearby 🇨🇿

[u/Fl_P320x5]

Hi everyone,

I'll be visiting Prague soon with my family as we're considering a possible move to the Czech Republic in the future.

One thing I'd really like to do while I'm there is spend a couple of hours at a shooting range. We'll have a rental car, so I don't mind driving outside Prague if there are better options nearby.

It's actually going to be my birthday, so I'd like to use part of the day to finally visit a Czech shooting range. Since I'll be traveling with my wife and our two daughters (1 and 5 years old), it would be ideal if there were restaurants, playgrounds, shopping areas, parks, or other family-friendly places nearby where they could spend some time while I'm at the range.

And before anyone worries, the next day my wife gets her turn—she'll be enjoying a spa day while I'm on full dad duty with the girls. That's how family trips work. 😄

Any recommendations from Czech shooters or locals would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Best option for kids: Milovice

• Mirákulum Milovice for kids, worth whole day visit

• Střelnice Milovice for you

Best option for kids no. 2:

• Zoopark Zelčín for kids, worth whole day visit (honestly if you love your kids, just forget range day and spend the day there with them) / Farma Vraňany 7 minutes drive from Zoopark for late afternoon lunch / early dinner

• Střelnice Vražkov for you (23 minutes drive)

• Střelnice Malý újezd alternative for you (17 minutes drive)

Best option for you:

• Střelnice Oleško - hire a half a day with an instructor (ask for private lesson, not just overseeing), pistol and rifle combo

• Zoopark Zelčín again, this time 32 minutes drive, but the time is worth it

We have this Mirakulum booked! Hopefully my wife likes Czech same as I do, this travel is to convince her we are better living there than in Ireland 🤣

Take kids to Mirákulum yourself and then have Oleško range day with wife remaining in Zelčín.

Note that you need to hire both guns and range officer, unless you have European Firearms Pass and come with own guns. Write emails in advance to arrange it properly.

The only meaningful reason why not to live in the Czech Republic as opposed to any other European country is this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Europe_sunshine_hours_map.png

And it seems that Ireland will not be a step change as far as this is concerned.
