Kołobrzeg is not only a beach, because on rainy days the town has several indoor places for families. Every site on this list is marked as good for bad weather and for families, and most stand close to the centre and the promenade.
What can you do with a child in Kołobrzeg when it rains?
Choose one of the large play halls or the aquarium. Kołobrzeg has several, so over a few rainy days you can spread them out. More covered options along the coast are collected in a guide to a wet day at the seaside with kids.
The Oceanarium is a compact aquarium display found in the town centre, on I Armii Wojska Polskiego 6c. Visitors meet piranhas, morays, rays and sharks as well as bright tropical species. Families come, and so do school groups.
The Muzeum 6D (6D Museum), called Maszoperia 1913 on its own website, is at Rodziewiczówny 15, on the promenade. About 500 m2 of walls are covered with 3D paintings, and every visitor gets glasses. The story is about the old Baltic fishermen and a legend connected with them.
The Dom do góry nogami (Upside-Down House) at Solna 1a belongs to a chain of similar houses, and the Kołobrzeg one has a pirate theme. Everything inside is turned upside down, which makes the ceiling the place for photos. Playing time is unrestricted.
Where can children burn off energy?
Four places give children movement: two play halls, a trampoline park and a roller rink. They differ in the age of their audience and in style of play, so match your choice to the age of your child.
Indoors, play around building blocks, which the site says number in the millions, takes place at the Klockowisko (6 Dywizji Piechoty 27). It is laid out in five zones, among them Demolka, Majster w akcji and Małe Paluszki, plus slides and sponge pools.
The Sala zabaw Figlarnia w Kołobrzegu (Figlarnia Play Centre) is in the Milenium Hall of the sports centre at ppor. Edmunda Łopuskiego 36/38. It covers 600 m2 and is meant for children from one to fourteen, and parents can rest in the café.
In the centre, at 1 Maja 21, stands the SkakunPark w Kołobrzegu (Skakun Park). Besides trampolines it has an interactive iWall, Lego Technic sets, 9D virtual reality, a Ninja ORC course and a separate area for the youngest. No more than seventy people play at once, so keep that in mind in the season.
The Wrotkowisko (Wrotkowisko Indoor Roller Rink) shares an address with the Klockowisko. Besides a large roller rink there are a roller hockey pitch, an obstacle course and a play room for smaller children.
Is there a place for children outdoors in Kołobrzeg?
Yes, for example at Fredry 18, where the Fort Wilczy (amfiteatr) w Kołobrzegu (Wolf Fort amphitheatre) stands. A defensive work of 1807 became a festival amphitheatre in 1925, staging events such as Interfolk and Gama. For children it is a chance to see a military structure in a new role. More about the town's old defences is in the article on the Kołobrzeg fortress.
