Amusement parks for families with kids in Poland are a river topic. We could write about them for hours, because we are fans of this form of entertainment ourselves. We loved rollercoasters before we had kids, and we’re even happier that our kids love this type of attraction too (age-appropriate for the moment, of course ;-)). That’s why we decided to bring you the following ranking of the best children’s theme parks in Poland!
Amusement park can be understood in different ways. To us, when we talk about amusement parks, the first thing that comes to mind are large areas with countless roller coasters (i.e., roller coasters) and other smaller carousels and attractions, such as Poland’s most popular Energylandia. Amusement park can also be understood as smaller local amusement parks, also with carousels or sometimes rollercoasters.
We, however, also understand amusement park as facilities that offer a range of different entertainment, usually for a whole day. They don’t have to be roller coasters (although for us they are more than welcome :-)), but probably the most important aspect is that if you buy an all-day ticket, you have a full day of attractions there.
When we throw in the fact that we’re talking about a FAMILY amusement park, an additional criterion is that the aforementioned all-day fun should be provided for both adults and (above all) kids, including the youngest ones. Because a children’s theme park doesn’t mean that parents only have to watch the little ones. Everyone can have fun and we prefer this approach :)
At the end of the post you will also find a map of all the points described below.

The best amusement parks for children in Poland
This is our personal ranking of the best amusement parks for children in Poland. We have been to each of the places described at least once with our children, although often it was more times. We have an educated opinion about them, and this is what we base our ranking on.
It is known that everyone has different preferences and tastes. Some children prefer rollercoasters, others are afraid of them. Some adults like merry-go-rounds, others are not too fond of them.
Take a look at our ranking, and we look forward to your opinions in the comments. Maybe we should still visit some other place in Poland? :)
1. energylandia
The king could not be more different! We have repeatedly emphasized that Energylandia is an amusement park that Poland can be proud of. It is no different from those parks in Western Europe or the United States. One is even tempted to say that it is one of the best amusement parks in Europe.
The biggest downside of this place is the fact that…. one day is not enough to have fun here :) And fun and entertainment can be found here for every member of the family. From a tiny toddler to an adrenaline-hungry adult.
Personally, we would go crazy on the biggest roller coasters available at Energylandia, but as we always go there with the whole family we will not disdain the attractions for the little ones, which also bring us a lot of positive energy and memories.
Mandoria City of Adventure, on the other hand, is the largest covered family amusement park. It is the newest of the items in our ranking and has already taken second place. We are afraid of what will happen in a few years when new attractions arrive :)
And it should be stressed right away that there are no huge rollercoasters here (although there are two, smaller ones completely under the roof, including one in complete darkness), and the park itself is definitely for FAMILIES with children and not for adults alone, but in our opinion there is something for everyone here.
We having been to Mandoria several times already, each time we had not much less fun than our kids. It is a super covered place that can be visited all year round, which is a super alternative for autumn and winter outings, or inclement weather in summer and spring.
Majaland is already a fairly well-known facility among families with children. Arguably, it would be more popular if it were closer to the center of Poland than where it is now, which is right on the western border with Germany (add the fact that it is our neighbors who are a large audience for the place)….
Maybe it’s a good thing, because we would be frequent visitors there :) Especially in summer and spring, because Majaland, like Mandoria, has an indoor part under the roof, but especially has a sizable outdoor part. It also has some attractions typically for older children or even adults. Nevertheless, it is still far from Energylandia, but it is still a very interesting place on the map of amusement parks for the whole family in Poland.
It came as a bit of a surprise to us when we planned our trip to JuraPark Bałtów that it is not just a dinosaur park, but a whole, huge complex with many attractions for the whole family.
It is best to come here on a warm day, first thing in the morning, or stay here even a little longer. In addition to the obvious JuraPark tour, you can also see the Miniature Park, the Safari Zoo, the oceanarium, museums, playgrounds, an amusement park…. and so on you could list.
The Illusion Farm is a very interesting place in Mazovia for the whole family. Children of all ages will find attractions for themselves here. There are both merry-go-rounds for the smallest kids, rollercoaster for the older ones, cabinets of mirrors, numerous performances (related to illusion, no different :-)), magic tricks, or playgrounds.
Quite importantly, a large part of the facility is shaded (there are a lot of trees on the grounds) so that staying here even, on hot days, is not so terrible.
We also recommend our video from the Illusion Farm:
6 Magic Gardens
Magic Gardens is a beautifully landscaped area where kids will have lots of fun and running on and between attractions. However, you won’t find many carousels or other attractions known from typical amusement parks here. So perhaps that’s why it’s worth a visit to have some fun in a slightly different way. Because the fun will be here quietly for the whole day anyway.
JuraPark Krasiejów is not as big a complex as its counterpart in Bałtów, but that doesn’t mean the place is inferior. Let’s start with the fact that, in truth, the complex in Krasiejów consists of two facilities: JuraPark and the Science and Human Evolution Park. These are two independent facilities to which you need to buy a separate ticket (although you can also buy combined tickets), but they are located at the same parking lot and belong to the same owner :)
In addition to the dinosaur section, there is a large playground, a funfair and a beach.
If we were to compare only JuraPark Krasiejów itself and JuraPark Bałtów, Krasiejów definitely made a better impression on us. Perhaps that’s because it feels much more like a “dig” character here. Or the area itself seems much larger? Or is it simply that there aren’t as many other attractions here and you can focus on dinosaurs and learning about our planet? Definitely for fans of dinosaurs and excavations we recommend Krasiejów more :)
However, if you are also interested in other attractions (e.g. zoo safari, miniature park) then we recommend going to Bałtów.
Julinek Amusement Park is a place unlike any of the above. Here you won’t find the typical attractions native to Majaland or Energylandia. Crossing the gates of Julinek you enter a real world full of circus tricks, shows, acrobatics and many other attractions for kids.
There is also the largest linear park in Mazovia and a mini amusement park, the kind we know from various festivals and fairs. It is also important to note that Julinek is located within the Kampinos National Park so you can super combine a trip with a stay in both places.
However, the character of the place is given most by the fact that it is an old circus base. Circus performers from all over Poland trained in the local buildings, back in the 1990s.

9. clement orchards
And to top it all off, another unusual amusement park in Poland, the Klemens Orchards. Here, even less so, you won’t find rollercoasters or other typical merry-go-rounds (well, except maybe one powered by the parents’ muscles).
Clement’s Orchards is located on the site of former apple orchards, and it is around this theme that all the attractions revolve. This place is designed for families with children, however, adults here are unlikely to find super attractions for themselves (well, maybe except for the rope park and driving a carousel for children) :) Instead, they can rest peacefully in a hammock or a deck chair.
You might not expect it when you first think of this place, but in truth you can spend a whole day here. Most importantly: the kids will be entertained and the adults will be rested. And this is rare in such places :)
We are aware that we have not seen all the amusement parks in Poland, so this list is open and will be successively updated. We will be sure to inform you about it in our newsletter and on our Facebook and Instagram channels :)
