There are many amusement parks in Poland that are open both in winter and summer. Many water parks have outdoor pools and slides in the summer, so visiting them on time in the warm season is twice as much fun.

This is the largest water amusement park in Europe, the size of which is about 70,000 sq. m. About 15,000 people can visit it per day. people. With a temperature of around 32 degrees and 740 palm trees imported from Malaysia, Florida and Costa Rica, this water park is sure to keep you entertained.

The park is open from 10:00 a.m. excluding public holidays. The rinks are open from 1:00 p.m., from which time the crowd starts to increase. If you want to enjoy the park when there are fewer people, come from 10:00 a.m. It is best to go on a weekday, not on a weekend, because there are really many people.

Although there are many cafes and restaurants in the park, if there are more people, you may have to wait for more than an hour.

We recommend that you bring drinks or snacks with you, you can have a picnic outside in the summer and inside in the winter. Food and drinks are free to bring into the park.

Recommendations for those planning a visit to Suntag

Buy your tickets in advance, because lines are twice or three times shorter to enter the park with already purchased tickets. In addition, with a ticket you are 100% guaranteed to enter the park, as the number of people during the covid pandemic was limited. Tickets can be purchased on the park’s website.

Ticket prices for smaller children are determined by height up to 90 cm, up to 120 cm. Although most of the slides are designed from 120 cm, but the person maintaining the slide decides whether to allow a child to go down it.

There are three zones, only Jamango is allowed with children. In other areas, people are really less, because many people come to the park with children.

By the way, there is a shop before entering the park – it’s handy if you sometimes forget your swimming ring, flip flops, shampoo or other accessories necessary for swimming.

We recommend spending a whole day in the park, because there are really many activities. A four-hour ticket is really not worth it (too little time), because you won’t have time to try even a small part of the entertainment. And the two-hour ticket is not even worth thinking about!

The park is located a little outside Warsaw. 6-7 hours from Vilnius. by car. Although there are hostels near the park, their prices are high. We recommend staying overnight in Warsaw and visiting many fun places in the Polish capital.

On the territory of 33 hectares, you can see 1100 different species of animals. In total, more than 14,000 individuals live here, coming from various corners of the world including Africa, North and South America, Asia, and Australia. We recommend buying tickets in advance.

In 2014, an Afrikarium (made from a combination of the words Africa and aquarium) was established in the museum.

Thanks to the concept of the facility, Afrikarium has become a unique global complex presenting the African environment.

It includes the “Red Sea” (coral reefs created in a tank with a capacity of 1 million l, among which 60 species of colorful fish dive), “East Africa” ​​(hippo diving in a huge aquarium), “Mozambique Canal” (an 18-meter suspended acrylic tunnel, which you can admire while traveling turtles, stingrays, like rocket-launching sharks), “Congo River Jungle” (crocodiles, sirens), “Skeleton Coast” (jellyfish, morays, other interesting burrowing animals and eels).

Krakow Zoo

There are about 260 species, 1500 animals in the zoo, the territory covers an area of ​​almost 17 hectares. The parking lot of the zoo is far from the garden itself, so if there is an opportunity, we suggest that you drive all the way to the zoo and drop off the children (under the supervision of one adult, of course). Until they buy the tickets, park the car in the lot, which is about 1 km away, and come on foot. It is very convenient to buy a ticket together with pick-up and drop-off from the hotel.
