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

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 name “Malta Ski” already suggests that it’s a ski resort. But that’s not all this place has to offer. The basis of the activity of Malta Ski are two ski slopes located on the Freedom Mound. 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. And all this on the shores of Lake Malta, one of the symbols of the city.
