What to Do with Kids in Krakow When It Rains?

Wondering where to spend a rainy day with kids in Krakow? Or maybe friends or family are visiting, and you want to show them something - but it's raining outside... Luckily, Krakow has many places and museums where you can have fun indoors! Here are our favorites:

1. Natural Education Center

This is a treasure trove of knowledge about the animal world! You can see animal models often with their habitats (like tundra, African savanna, coral reef, deep-sea zone, desert, etc.), and visualizations of animals known from fossils. It's a very versatile place - young children will love recognizing animals they know from books (penguins, zebras, bears, bison), while older kids can learn a lot about geological eras.
