Most people&#8217;s minds jump straight to Italy or Croatia, but my partner Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I have had a completely different favourite since last year \u2014 Poland. If you&#8217;re thinking about heading to this wonderful country, I need to warn you right at the start: you&#8217;ll probably fall so deeply in love with it that you won&#8217;t want to go anywhere else. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year we spent a wonderful time in the north, in Gdynia, with our little boy Jon\u00e1\u0161ek, who was exactly one at the time. Now that he&#8217;s two, we&#8217;re expanding our Polish horizons even further. We travel as a full crew, so we often bring our two dogs K\u00e1ja and Baby to the coast as well, because the Baltic beaches are perfect for them (though we leave them at home when visiting big cities and national parks). From our seven-day Polish road trip and all our previous visits, we&#8217;ve come away with one key takeaway: Polish people are incredibly kind to children, and the whole country is fantastically set up for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve experienced all of this first-hand over the years \u2014 pushing a buggy over cobblestones, walking the dogs on Baltic beaches, and wrestling Jon\u00e1\u0161ek out of the water park. So instead of a dry list, you&#8217;ll get our honest tips, including the places that aren&#8217;t really worth the trip. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/poland-with-kids-guide\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/poland-with-kids-guide\/#Why_Visit_Poland_with_Kids_5_Key_Reasons\" >Why Visit Poland with Kids? 5 Key Reasons<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/poland-with-kids-guide\/#1_Its_close_and_you_save_on_flights\" >1.

Whenever friends ask me, I reel off five reasons before they can even draw breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Its_close_and_you_save_on_flights\"><\/span>1. It&#8217;s close and you save on flights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From London, you can fly to Krak\u00f3w or Gda\u0144sk in under three hours with budget airlines like Ryanair, Wizz Air or easyJet. Flights are often remarkably cheap, especially if you book ahead. For families with small children, flying is quick and convenient \u2014 and once you land, you can hire a car to explore at your own pace. Polish motorways are modern and well-maintained, so driving around the country is a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer driving from the UK, southern Poland is reachable in a long day via the Eurotunnel and through France, Belgium, and Germany. The big advantage of having your own car? You can stop whenever your little one demands it, and you can pack absolutely everything \u2014 including their favourite potty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Low_prices_and_excellent_value\"><\/span>2. Low prices and excellent value<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A family trip to Poland won&#8217;t break the bank. Accommodation, restaurant meals, and attraction tickets are noticeably cheaper than in Western Europe, let alone Scandinavia. You genuinely get incredible value for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, it always ends up costing us less than we expect, yet the apartment has a bathroom bigger than our living room back home, and we leave every restaurant so stuffed that we have to carry Jon\u00e1\u0161ek because we can barely walk ourselves. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Polish_people_genuinely_love_families_and_children\"><\/span>3. Polish people genuinely love families and children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the thing that never stops surprising us. In some countries, you get dirty looks when your child raises their voice in a restaurant. In Poland, they smile at you, bring out colouring books, and the waiter gives your toddler a cheerful wink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polish society is genuinely welcoming to families with children, which gives you tremendous peace of mind as a parent. We&#8217;ve never had that awkward feeling of bothering someone with our toddler, even when Jon\u00e1\u0161ek was testing the acoustics of the local caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_World-class_theme_parks\"><\/span>4. World-class theme parks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an unforgettable day out with the kids, you don&#8217;t need to search far. Poland&#8217;s water parks and theme parks are genuinely enormous. Whether it&#8217;s the colossal Energylandia or state-of-the-art thermal complexes, the Poles really know how to build jaw-dropping attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Luk\u00e1\u0161 always gets his fix on the most insane adrenaline coasters, I&#8217;m constantly impressed by the spotless facilities for little ones. There are always baby changing stations and microwaves to warm up food, so you feel right at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Food_that_kids_actually_eat\"><\/span>5. Food that kids actually eat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every parent knows the struggle of a child refusing local specialities on holiday. But Polish cuisine is a bit like granny&#8217;s cooking \u2014 hearty broths, pierogi dumplings prepared a hundred different ways, potatoes, roast meat, and beloved sweet pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the fussiest eater won&#8217;t go hungry here. We always look forward to the generous portions, and we&#8217;ve noticed that Jon\u00e1\u0161ek often eats far better on holiday in Poland than he does at home in our own kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Go_and_How_to_Get_There\"><\/span>When to Go and How to Get There<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When to visit Poland depends a lot on what you want to experience. We&#8217;ve tried almost every season, so let me save you a few mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_go\"><\/span>When to go?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning a seaside holiday with kids, summer is the obvious choice \u2014 specifically July and the first half of August. The Baltic Sea is refreshingly cool and nature is in full bloom. However, watch out for mid-August: around 15 August, Poland has a public holiday and a long weekend, much like the August bank holiday rush in the UK. The entire country packs up and heads for the coast or the mountains, so motorways get jammed and accommodation prices shoot up. Best to avoid those dates if you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autumn is absolutely brilliant for visiting major cities like Krak\u00f3w or Wroc\u0142aw. It&#8217;s no longer sweltering, and pushchair-friendly strolls are ideal. November and December are all about the famous Christmas markets. And if you love winter, head to Karpacz or Zakopane, which have fantastic ski facilities even for the smallest ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sopot beach on the Polish Baltic coast\" class=\"wp-image-98765\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-3-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-3-1-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-3-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-3-1-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_there_Flying_wins_but_trains_have_their_charm\"><\/span>Getting there: Flying wins, but trains have their charm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the UK, flying is by far the easiest option. Ryanair, Wizz Air and easyJet all operate frequent direct flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh and other UK cities to Krak\u00f3w, Gda\u0144sk, Warsaw, and Wroc\u0142aw. With fares often as low as \u00a320\u201330 one way, it&#8217;s a real bargain. Once you land, hiring a car gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Polish motorways are modern and clean \u2014 just check the toll system beforehand, as some sections are paid online via an app. Parking in big city centres can be tricky and pricey, so always look for accommodation with parking included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling with older kids, you could try the train. There are rail connections via Berlin to Warsaw and Krak\u00f3w, and it makes for a real adventure. <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Flixbus\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/flixbus\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">FlixBus<\/a> also runs routes from Germany into Poland, but with very small children like our Jon\u00e1\u0161ek, I probably wouldn&#8217;t risk that just yet. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we need to hire a car, we always use the comparison site <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"RentalCars.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/rentalcars-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">RentalCars.com<\/a> \u2014 Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I have had consistently great experiences with them all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_with_Kids_and_How_Much_It_Costs\"><\/span>Where to Stay with Kids and How Much It Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common question I get is where to stay and whether Poland with kids will actually blow the budget. The good news is that although prices have crept up in recent years, it&#8217;s still significantly cheaper than a holiday in Western Europe. The local currency is the Polish zloty (PLN), with the exchange rate hovering around 5 PLN to \u00a31. We pay by card almost everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accommodation varies by region. In <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/krakow-poland\/\">Krak\u00f3w<\/a> or Wroc\u0142aw, I&#8217;d recommend looking for spacious family apartments right in the centre or within walking distance of the main sights. We love booking places like <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Meyo Apartments<\/a> on the main square, where we had everything at our fingertips and a stunning view. Always check that the building has a lift \u2014 dragging a pushchair and a million bags up four flights of stairs is something you really don&#8217;t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Tri-City (Gda\u0144sk, Sopot, and Gdynia), the ideal is to find an apartment or hotel as close to the beach promenade as possible. We fell in love with the <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Novotel Gda\u0144sk Marina<\/a>, which is a stone&#8217;s throw from the beach and has great facilities for little ones. Being just a few metres from the sand means you can pop back to your room whenever you need to. If you&#8217;re after a wellness break in the mountains, around Zakopane for example, you&#8217;ll find gorgeous modern hotels with pools and children&#8217;s play areas that you&#8217;ll never want to leave. Just be careful when booking wellness hotels near the Czech border \u2014 some have started positioning themselves as &#8220;Adults Only&#8221; (16+), so check before you arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A week-long holiday budget for a family with two children (including a nice apartment, eating out every day, and attraction tickets) comes to roughly \u20ac800\u20131,200, depending on how much you treat yourselves. You can save by cooking at your apartment, but Polish restaurants are so good and affordable that we happily forget about cooking on holiday. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Best_Attractions_and_Places_to_Visit_in_Poland_with_Kids\"><\/span>15 Best Attractions and Places to Visit in Poland with Kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The country offers an incredible range of activities, whether you&#8217;re going for a long weekend or a two-week road trip. We deliberated for ages about what to include in this list, because we have hundreds of tips. In the end, we settled on these fifteen places that we think are worth every penny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Energylandia_Zator_the_biggest_theme_park_in_Central_Europe\"><\/span>1.

You&#8217;ll find over a hundred attractions split across several themed zones. For toddlers and little ones, there&#8217;s the fairy-tale Bajkolandia zone with gentle train rides and animal carousels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For bigger kids and brave parents, there&#8217;s a zone boasting some of the most extreme roller coasters in Europe. Luk\u00e1\u0161 had an absolute blast on the Hyperion coaster last year and reckoned it was one of the best adrenaline experiences of his life. The park also includes a massive outdoor water park, all included in your ticket price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole complex is spotlessly clean, brilliantly organised, and the food doesn&#8217;t cost the absurd prices you&#8217;d find at some other European parks. We&#8217;d recommend setting aside two full days for Energylandia, because you simply can&#8217;t do it justice in one day with kids in tow.

Inside, you&#8217;ll find real palm trees imported from tropical countries, air temperatures above 30\u00b0C, and blissfully warm water. Families with children get their own enormous Jamango zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This zone features an incredible 32 slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, and for the very smallest visitors, gorgeous shallow paddling areas with mini slides and a pirate ship. Lifeguards are on duty everywhere and safety is clearly the top priority. Jon\u00e1\u0161ek spent the entire day in the water and refused to come out, even when we bribed him with ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents will appreciate the great food options, and if you manage to hand the kids over to grandma for a bit or take turns, you can sneak off to the Relax zone \u2014 adults only. There you&#8217;ll find tranquil thermal pools and a fantastic sauna world where you can properly recharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-gyg-wp-plugin\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Wroclaw_ZOO_and_the_incredible_Afrykarium\"><\/span>3.

Enormous chambers carved from salt, underground lakes, and the breathtaking Chapel of St. Kinga, where even the chandeliers are made of salt crystals. The guides are understanding with families and often enrich the tour with tales of mine goblins and other legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperature inside the mine stays constant at around 14\u201316\u00b0C, so even on a scorching summer&#8217;s day, make sure to pack a warm jumper and comfortable closed-toe shoes for the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Giant_Mountains_and_Karpacz_mountain_fun_for_families\"><\/span>7.

The little town of Karpacz is a wonderful base. From here you can take the cable car up to Kopa mountain, which is just a short walk from the summit of \u015anie\u017cka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge draw for kids is the local Western City, a faithful replica of a Wild West frontier town. There&#8217;s a sheriff, a saloon, horseback riding, gold panning, and archery. They even put on regular western shows that utterly captivate children, making them feel like real cowboys for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Karpacz is also packed with modern hotels featuring massive children&#8217;s play rooms and swimming pools, so even if the mountain weather lets you down, you&#8217;ll have a full day&#8217;s entertainment sorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Hel_Peninsula_a_Baltic_paradise_for_families_and_dogs\"><\/span>8.

It&#8217;s a narrow, 30-plus-kilometre sandy spit: on one side, a calm bay perfect for toddlers and gentle paddling in shallow water; on the other, the wild open Baltic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The peninsula is crisscrossed with wonderful cycle paths through pine forests. You can rent bikes with trailers and ride the whole length. The main family attraction is the seal rescue centre (Fokarium) in the town of Hel itself, right at the tip of the peninsula, where children can watch these adorable animals being fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what&#8217;s absolutely crucial for us \u2014 the beaches here are very dog-friendly. Our K\u00e1ja and Baby could run freely on the sand without bothering anyone. Poland is far more relaxed about dogs on beaches than southern European countries, so genuinely the whole family gets to enjoy the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

It&#8217;s not as historic as neighbouring Gda\u0144sk, but for families with kids it&#8217;s incredibly practical. There&#8217;s a beautiful wide beach right in the centre, flanked by a fantastic promenade dotted with playgrounds and caf\u00e9s where you can sip your coffee in peace while the children play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main attraction is the Gdynia Aquarium, located right on the pier. Inside you&#8217;ll see sharks, coral reefs, and fish from the Baltic Sea. It&#8217;s smaller than the Wroc\u0142aw setup, but kids can easily spend a good two hours here \u2014 Jon\u00e1\u0161ek was absolutely thrilled by all the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Down by the harbour, you&#8217;ll also find the huge warship ORP B\u0142yskawica and the historic tall ship Dar Pomorza, both open to visitors. You can explore below deck, which is an absolute hit with little sailors \u2014 and the perfect way to tire them out before bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Miedzyzdroje_and_Baltic_Park_Molo_easy_to_reach_from_Germany\"><\/span>10. Mi\u0119dzyzdroje and Baltic Park Molo: easy to reach from Germany<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a seaside option that&#8217;s easy to combine with flights to Berlin or Szczecin? Head to the resort of <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/miedzyzdroje\/\">Mi\u0119dzyzdroje<\/a> or neighbouring \u015awinouj\u015bcie. It&#8217;s close to the German border and these are classic holiday resorts with very long, wide stretches of coastline. The sand is fine and white, and the sea floor slopes incredibly gently \u2014 ideal for small children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In \u015awinouj\u015bcie you&#8217;ll find the Baltic Park Molo complex, which includes an excellent water park. There are artificial waves, saunas, and wonderful children&#8217;s pools. If the Baltic weather doesn&#8217;t quite deliver perfect beach conditions \u2014 which does happen \u2014 this water park will save the day with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Mi\u0119dzyzdroje, you can also take a family trip to nearby Wolin National Park to see free-roaming European bison in their enclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Masurian_Lakes_peace_on_the_water\"><\/span>11. Masurian Lakes: peace on the water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Masuria offers a completely different kind of holiday. It&#8217;s a region of thousands of lakes connected by canals and rivers. The ultimate experience here is hiring a houseboat. You don&#8217;t need any special skipper&#8217;s licence, and you can learn to steer one in about twenty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With kids, it&#8217;s an incredible adventure they&#8217;ll remember forever. You have your own floating home, you swim straight off the boat during the day, eat lunch on deck, and in the evening you moor up in a quiet cove or at a modern marina with restaurants and playgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scenery is simply gorgeous \u2014 peaceful and pristinely clean. It&#8217;s the perfect escape from crowded seaside resorts if you fancy switching off for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Bialowieza_Forest_meeting_the_king_of_the_forest\"><\/span>12. Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest: meeting the king of the forest<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the far east of Poland lies <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/bialowieza-polsko\/\">Bia\u0142owie\u017ca<\/a>, one of the last remnants of Europe&#8217;s primeval forest. This trip is brilliant for nature-loving families with children ideally aged four and up, old enough to walk a bit and explore on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest draw is, of course, the European bison. The local demonstration reserve houses several of these magnificent creatures, and seeing them in the flesh commands real respect. The reserve has lovely paved paths, making it completely pushchair-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides bison, you might spot wolves, lynx, or tarpan horses. The atmosphere is wonderfully calm and mysterious \u2014 a truly unique experience for city kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Torun_the_living_gingerbread_museum\"><\/span>13. Toru\u0144: the living gingerbread museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/torun\/\">Toru\u0144<\/a> is one of the most beautiful historic cities in Poland \u2014 the birthplace of Copernicus and, more importantly for kids, the famous city of gingerbread. Walking through its red-brick lanes feels like stepping into a medieval fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With children, definitely head to the Living Museum of Gingerbread (\u017bywe Muzeum Piernika). Forget boring tours \u2014 this is a fantastic interactive show! In an entertaining way, often with the help of &#8220;medieval&#8221; master bakers and witches, you&#8217;ll learn the entire history of gingerbread making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best bit? Everyone \u2014 parents included \u2014 gets to mix their own dough, roll it out, press it into a historic wooden mould, and bake it. You proudly take home your hand-made gingerbread as the best souvenir imaginable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Krakow_Wawel_Castle_and_the_fire-breathing_dragon\"><\/span>14. Krak\u00f3w: Wawel Castle and the fire-breathing dragon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re visiting Energylandia, you&#8217;ll almost certainly add Krak\u00f3w to the trip. The city has enormous charm. The Royal Wawel Castle towers above the Vistula river, and what kids care about most is what lurks beneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Down by the river stands a statue of the Wawel Dragon. According to ancient legend, this dragon terrorised the city until a clever cobbler outsmarted it. The statue actually breathes real fire every few minutes. There&#8217;s always a cluster of children waiting, and every time the flames shoot from its mouth, a chorus of delighted shrieks erupts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the dragon, you can stroll along the gorgeous riverside promenade, feed the swans, and buy the best traditional pretzel (obwarzanek) from one of the blue market stalls on the square \u2014 something Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I always playfully fight over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/krakov-13.jpg\" alt=\"The main square Rynek G\u0142\u00f3wny in Krak\u00f3w\" class=\"wp-image-89765\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/krakov-13.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/krakov-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/krakov-13-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/krakov-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/krakov-13-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Babia_Gora_National_Park_and_surroundings\"><\/span>15. Babia G\u00f3ra National Park and surroundings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d rather avoid the crowds in Zakopane, try the nearby Babia G\u00f3ra National Park or the Bialski National Park. It&#8217;s an area of stunning mountains with unspoilt nature, offering a wonderful alternative to the busier resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area is still on our to-do list (honestly, we need to wait until Jon\u00e1\u0161ek grows a bit more \ud83d\ude05), but friends have told us that the educational trails are manageable even for small children, and the visitor centre at the trailhead has clean toilets \u2014 which, as every parent knows, is the absolute number one priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Tips_for_Travelling_with_a_Pushchair\"><\/span>Practical Tips for Travelling with a Pushchair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I used to travel as a couple, we never gave the surface of streets a second thought. With a pushchair and little Jon\u00e1\u0161ek, our priorities have changed dramatically. Poland is a country steeped in history, which takes a rather unforgiving toll on the quality of its pavements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_out_for_cobblestones\"><\/span>Watch out for cobblestones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Historic city centres in places like Krak\u00f3w, Wroc\u0142aw, Gda\u0144sk, and Toru\u0144 are entirely cobbled. We&#8217;re not talking nice flat paving stones \u2014 often it&#8217;s old, uneven setts. If you show up with a lightweight city buggy with small hard plastic wheels, both you and your child are in for a miserable time \u2014 the rattling can actually make little ones feel sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely bring a pushchair with large, ideally air-filled tyres and decent suspension. It&#8217;ll save your nerves, and your little one will be able to nap peacefully while you finally enjoy that coffee on the square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pushchair_on_the_beach\"><\/span>Pushchair on the beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you head north to the coast, you&#8217;ll have to navigate sand. Polish Baltic beaches often have wooden ramps and boardwalks, but these tend to stop shortly past the entrance. If you stick close to the waterline where the sand is wet and packed down by the waves, you can just about manage a pushchair (pulling it behind you works best).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don&#8217;t even attempt to push through deep, dry sand \u2014 you&#8217;ll be stuck within two metres. A baby carrier is always the better option for beach trips, and it worked brilliantly for us with little Jon\u00e1\u0161ek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-5.jpg\" alt=\"Sopot beach promenade on the Polish Baltic coast\" class=\"wp-image-98755\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-5.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-5-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sopoty-5-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat_and_What_to_Try_with_Kids\"><\/span>Where to Eat and What to Try with Kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Food is a whole chapter of its own when travelling with children. Our experience is that Polish cuisine is very friendly to young tummies, and you won&#8217;t end up in those nightmare situations where your child simply has nothing to eat and you&#8217;re tearing your hair out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pierogi_save_everything\"><\/span>Pierogi save everything<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland&#8217;s national dish is pierogi \u2014 stuffed dumplings that are either boiled or pan-fried. You can have them savoury (filled with meat, sauerkraut, or potatoes and cheese \u2014 the so-called &#8220;Russian&#8221; variety), but what kids absolutely devour are the sweet ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pierogi stuffed with strawberries, blueberries, or sweet cheese, dusted with sugar and drizzled with cream, vanish from the plate at lightning speed. Jon\u00e1\u0161ek can put away an astonishing number, while Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I sneakily pinch them from his plate because they&#8217;re simply irresistible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Soups_for_every_day\"><\/span>Soups for every day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Poles love their soups. In almost every restaurant you&#8217;ll find &#8220;ros\u00f3\u0142&#8221; \u2014 a rich chicken or beef broth with noodles, usually served in a huge bowl that can easily fill up an adult. For kids, it&#8217;s the perfect warm meal after a long day of running around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your little ones prefer tomato soup, try &#8220;zupa pomidorowa&#8221;, which is also hugely popular in Poland. They usually add pasta or rice, so it&#8217;s beautifully thick, nutritious, and children love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restaurants_and_kids_menus\"><\/span>Restaurants and kids&#8217; menus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most restaurants, including the upscale ones, automatically offer a children&#8217;s menu. It typically includes breaded chicken strips with chips (the universal classic), smaller portions of pasta, or the sweet pancakes we mentioned. Almost everywhere has high chairs and very often a small play corner with crayons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among our favourite family-friendly spots is Pueblo restaurant in Gdynia, which has not only a great kids&#8217; menu but also wonderfully warm service. In Krak\u00f3w, we love going to Pod Wawelem, where portions are gigantic and the buzzy atmosphere means any child-related noise just blends right in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snacks_from_the_shops\"><\/span>Snacks from the shops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a toddler who happily munches on pouches and jars, you don&#8217;t need to haul huge supplies from home. Brands like HiPP and Gerber are widely available in Rossmann stores across Poland, and we always pick them up for Jon\u00e1\u0161ek as we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheaper (but still high-quality) alternatives can be found in the ubiquitous Biedronka and \u017babka supermarkets. They sell great fruity crisps and fruit pur\u00e9es that are perfect for snacking in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Watch_Out_For_Tourist_Traps_and_Scams\"><\/span>What to Watch Out For: Tourist Traps and Scams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Poland is a very safe country for families, and you don&#8217;t need to worry about any serious crime. That said, there are a few minor tourist pitfalls to be aware of, so you don&#8217;t needlessly lose money that could be better spent on a magnificent ice cream for the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Euronet_ATMs_and_sneaky_exchange_rates\"><\/span>Euronet ATMs and sneaky exchange rates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Euronet cash machines are absolutely everywhere in Poland. If you need to withdraw money, always \u2014 and I mean always \u2014 decline the offer to convert to pounds (this is called Dynamic Currency Conversion, or DCC). The machine will very insistently ask if you&#8217;d like a &#8220;guaranteed&#8221; exchange rate in GBP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a rip-off \u2014 the rate is dreadful and can easily cost you \u00a310\u201320 per withdrawal. Always choose to withdraw in the local currency (PLN) without conversion, and let your own UK bank handle the exchange. Better yet, use ATMs belonging to Polish high-street banks, where you can be confident of a fair deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dodgy_taxis_at_stations_and_near_attractions\"><\/span>Dodgy taxis at stations and near attractions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s becoming less common, you can still encounter taxi drivers at tourist hubs like Krak\u00f3w or Gda\u0144sk who wait at train stations or popular attractions and don&#8217;t run a meter. Never get in \u2014 you could end up with a jaw-dropping bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt instead, which work flawlessly across Poland and cost a fraction of the price. The drivers have always been happy to help us with the pushchair, and the rides have been very comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Family_Itineraries_How_to_Put_It_All_Together\"><\/span>Family Itineraries: How to Put It All Together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know where to go with kids, but you might be wondering how to combine these places into a sensible route. Here are our three favourite options that work well both in terms of time and logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_A_The_North_and_the_Baltic_for_families_7_days\"><\/span>Option A: The North and the Baltic for families (7 days)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This itinerary is ideal for summer. It combines cities with beach time. Spend Days 1\u20132 on Wroc\u0142aw and Toru\u0144. Stop in Wroc\u0142aw for the amazing zoo and stay overnight. The next day, continue via Toru\u0144 \u2014 where the kids will love baking gingerbread \u2014 then head north to the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicate three days (3\u20135) to the Tri-City. Explore historic Gda\u0144sk, walk along the enormous wooden pier in Sopot, and visit the aquarium in Gdynia. The kids will be thrilled by the long sandy beaches, and you&#8217;ll finally get some rest. Spend the last two days (6\u20137) on the Hel Peninsula. Watch the seal feeding, cycle through the pinewoods, and soak up that true Baltic holiday vibe before heading home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_B_Southern_Poland_%E2%80%94_fun_and_adrenaline_5_days\"><\/span>Option B: Southern Poland \u2014 fun and adrenaline (5 days)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A brilliant choice for a long weekend or a shorter autumn\/spring half-term. The first two days belong to Krak\u00f3w. Explore the centre with the kids, show them the fire-breathing dragon beneath Wawel, and enjoy some fantastic food. If you have older children, you could devote a day to exploring the Wieliczka Salt Mine \u2014 a real adventure for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Days 3 and 4 are all about Energylandia in Zator. Drive from Krak\u00f3w, find accommodation nearby, and spend two full days on roller coasters and rides. Use the first day to conquer the attractions and the second to splash around in the adjacent water park. Day 5 is your travel day, but on the way back, stop off at Inwa\u0142d Park or nearby Dinolandia \u2014 smaller parks with dinosaurs and miniatures that small children really appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Option_C_Nature_animals_and_peace_4_days\"><\/span>Option C: Nature, animals and peace (4 days)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A shorter trip that works even with a pushchair and the smallest toddlers. Spend the first two days fully exploring Wroc\u0142aw and the Afrykarium. Visit the zoo, hunt for the little bronze gnomes scattered around the city, and take a boat ride on the Oder river \u2014 an experience Jon\u00e1\u0161ek absolutely couldn&#8217;t stop raving about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Days 3 and 4 are dedicated to the mountains and Karpacz. Head into the hills, check into a lovely wellness hotel, and take the kids to Western City in Karpacz for cowboys and Indians. If the sun comes out, ride the cable car up and do a short, easy hike before contentedly heading home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More\"><\/span>Read More<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If Poland has caught your eye, be sure to check out our other articles where we go into much more detail on individual destinations.
