Energylandia
Poland's roller coaster paradise
Energylandia in Zator, between Kraków and Katowice, is the largest theme park in Poland. With around twenty roller coasters it's a dream for thrill-seekers, but families with small children can easily spend the whole day there too. Here you can read about what to expect and how to get there.
What is Energylandia?
Energylandia opened in 2014 and quickly grew into one of the largest parks in Europe. The park covers some 90 hectares and, according to its own website, has 133 attractions. With one ticket you can use everything as often as you like, including the water park.
The park has seven areas: Bajkolandia for the youngest, the Strefa Familijna (family zone), the Strefa Ekstremalna (extreme zone), the Water Park, the medieval Smoczy Gród (Dragon's Castle), the underwater world Aqualantis and the candy land Sweet Valley. Work is under way on an eighth area, Volana, with the wing coaster Rokan. The opening date is not yet known.
In winter the park turns into Winter Kingdom, with Christmas lights, an ice rink, snow tubing, a reindeer meadow and Christmas markets. Some of the roller coasters and carousels are open then too. Tickets are cheaper during this period.
