1. Wartofrajda

[mv_create title=”Top 10 Attractions For Children In Poznań” key=”6″ type=”list” layout=”hero”]

 

Wartofrajda is one of the largest and most interesting playgrounds in Poznań. The main idea in the design of the square, developed during many meetings, was to form a creative space, allowing for a variety of children’s interpretation. Therefore, some devices emit sounds, hidden in the ground trampolines and fun installations that integrate children. Disabled children and children under the age of three are also allowed to use the playground, which has special attractions prepared for them. The whole area of the playground is lowered. On one hand, it makes it easier for parents to control kids, and on the other hand, it evokes the shape of a river that once flowed there.

 

2. ZOO and Zoolandia

 

The ZOO in Poznan is the second largest zoo in Poland in terms of area. It is divided into two parts – Old ZOO and New ZOO. Admission to the old part is free. The new one is much larger. The ZOO is famous for its collection of birds of prey and owls, which belongs to one of the richest in Europe.

 

There is also an impressive butterfly shop in which you can see hundreds of butterflies living in a natural environment. Children from 3 to 13 years old can also have fun at the Zoolandia rope park in the New ZOO. On its route you can find, for example, hanging bridges, a slide or a Tyrolean rally.

 

3. Teatr Animacji (The Animation Theather)

 

The Animation Theater is the most interesting place on the children’s theatrical map of Poznan. This puppet theater dates back to 1945, but under the current name, it has been functioning since 1980. On its boards, performances prepared for the youngest are staged every day. The young audience can get to know both classic stories and proprietary projects of contemporary artists. To make children’s sessions more enjoyable, the actors willingly interact with the audience and encourage the children to play and sing together. Theater visitors can also visit the Puppet and Scenery Gallery at the back of the theater.

 

4. Family Cafe

5. Tajemniczy Pokój (Mysterious Room)

 

Adults around the world have been willing to solve puzzles in secret rooms for several years. And what about children? Poznań knows the answer to these needs. Tajemniczy Pokój is an escape room designed especially for children. It has two scenarios to offer: “To the rescue of tigers” and “Attack of the dinosaurs”. The room with the theme of tigers is a reality jungle. The task of the participants is to solve the thematic puzzles that will lead to the rescue of a small tiger, which during his play departed from the family and got lost on the way back.

 

“Attack of the dinosaurs” is also a rescue mission. This time, however, as a result of a plane crash, which landed on a mysterious island inhabited by great dinosaurs, you learn about a dangerous T-Rex, who wants to devour smaller animals, so they need protection. Although the Mysterious Room is mainly an attraction for children, the room of riddles is also a great alternative to spending free time for adults. Fun scenarios for them were also prepared there, however with more difficult puzzles in similar subjects as for children: “King Kong” and “Jurassic Park”.

 

6. Malta Ski

The large 150 m long is served by two chairlifts. A smaller driving slope, 30 m long, supports a ski lift. The slopes in the winter season work even if there is no snow, thanks to the artificial surface. There is also equipment rental and a ski school with a wide range of courses and lessons. However, when it gets warmer, you can slide down the slope on the raft. It’s great fun for the whole family. The summer toboggan run or the Adrenaline roller coaster will also provide much entertainment. Also, there is an internal and external playground, Mini Golf and the School of Little Driver.
