On a rainy day in Koszalin you can pick museums, theatres, the Water Park and trampolines: a dozen or so indoor places in one town.
This selection suits families, couples and solo travellers whose plan for a walk in the parks was ruined by the weather. Museums dominate, but there are also theatre stages, pools and entertainment for children. Other suggestions for the town are in things to do in Koszalin, and a comparison with other towns is on things to do when it rains.
Most easily in museums: six venues carry the rain tag, and most stand near the old town or in the Jamno district. Muzeum w Koszalinie (Museum in Koszalin) at Młyńska 37/39 shows archaeology, coins and art of the region, with exhibitions in several parts of town. Skansen Kultury Jamneńskiej (Jamno Culture Open-Air Museum) and Zagroda Jamneńska (Jamno Farmstead) belong to the same network and present the life of former Jamno residents.
A curiosity is Muzeum Wody w Koszalinie (Water Museum) in an old filter station on Żwirowa street. Muzeum Obrony Przeciwlotniczej w Koszalinie (Air Defence Museum) at Wojska Polskiego 70 appeals to military enthusiasts, and similar collections are described in the text on military technology museums. The smallest is Muzeum Sztuki Książki (Book Art Museum) at Szczecińska 1, open by prior arrangement.
Koszalin has three theatre addresses tagged for theatre and couples. Teatr Muzyczny Adria (Adria Music Theatre) occupies a former cinema at Grunwaldzka 8-10 and is a private stage with a hall for a few hundred people. Teatr Propozycji „Dialog” w Koszalinie (Proposals Theatre “Dialog”) has its seat at Grodzka 3, in the old building called the Executioner's House, and stages rhapsodic theatre. The third is Amfiteatr im. Ignacego Jana Paderewskiego (Paderewski Amphitheatre), a large stage with a rainbow-shaped roof in a park above the town.
For readers there is Koszalińska Biblioteka Publiczna im. Joachima Lelewela (Joachim Lelewel Public Library) on Polonia square, with exhibitions and author meetings. Check theatre programmes on their own websites, as they change from week to week.
Park Wodny Koszalin (Koszalin Water Park) at Rekreacyjna 14 is an aquapark with pools, slides and a sauna zone, and some pools are open outdoors. For those who prefer jumping there is PlayPark Rodzinny Park Rozrywki (PlayPark Family Amusement Park) on Bohaterów Warszawy street, with trampolines, a climbing wall and a Ninja course. More about pools in the region is in the text on aquaparks and pools of the region.
Water of another kind is offered by Wakepark Koszalin, a wakeboard lift on Sybiraków street, and motor fans have MotoPark Koszalin with a kart track on Gnieźnieńska street. A longer set for a rainy day by the sea is in the text on a rainy day by the sea with a child, written for families.
