Yes — but plan realistically: Energylandia is in Zator, about a 45–60 minute drive from Krakow, while the Cistercian Abbey in Mogila is inside Krakow (Klasztorna 11). Technically you can visit both attractions in a single day by car, but it will be a busy day with a lot of time spent traveling and at the sites. For families with small children or people using strollers, it’s better to split the program over two days — Energylandia for a full day of fun and Mogila as a quieter half-day visit in Krakow.
Energylandia is a large amusement park with several themed zones (including Bajkolandia and the Family Zone), a wide area and dozens of attractions suited to different age groups. The park states that infrastructure has been prepared with accessibility in mind: there are designated parking spaces for people with disabilities (parking is free upon presentation of a valid parking card), toilets adapted for people with disabilities located near food outlets, and a Service Desk for Guests with Disabilities at the main entrance where you can get information about access to specific attractions.
If you arrive by car, plan where to park — the park charges a nominal parking fee, and you may need to walk a few hundred meters from the parking lot to the entrance. If you come by train, Zator station is served by regional connections from Krakow; from there you usually need a local shuttle or taxi. In Bajkolandia and the Family Zone you’ll find quieter areas, baby changing facilities and spots to rest for a while. If you use a full-size stroller, consider that in crowds a lightweight or compact folding stroller is easier to maneuver — it’s useful to have a spare collapsible stroller in the car. The park also has medical points on site.
The Cistercian Abbey in Mogila is a historic complex with a museum of spirituality and a monastic library. The museum publishes information about opening hours and ticket prices: admission tickets are available in several categories (regular, reduced, family), and guided tours can usually be booked in advance (they typically require prior arrangement). The museum offers concessions for people with disabilities and their carers.
When visiting historical monastery complexes it’s a good idea to contact staff in advance (by phone or email) to ask about current architectural obstacles, whether a stroller can access particular parts, and the availability of adapted toilets. The museum notes that not all rooms (for example the monastic library) are open for everyday visits. The abbey’s address is easy to find in Krakow and the site is suitable for a calm walk around cloisters and the courtyard, but remember the ground surface — historic sites often have thresholds or cobbled areas.
Option 1 — Energylandia as a separate day: arrive in Zator in the morning and spend a full day in the park (use the park map and the Service Desk for Guests with Disabilities at the entrance to optimize attractions for your family). Return to Krakow in the evening and visit Mogila the next day for a gentle stroll.
Option 2 — combine both in one long day (by car only): leave Krakow early for Energylandia, return to Krakow at midday and visit the Abbey in Mogila in the afternoon. This requires good logistical planning, limiting the number of attractions and awareness that children may be tired. We do not recommend trying “Energylandia in the afternoon and Mogila at night” — the museum has specific opening hours.
Call or write before you go: this will tell you which parts of the site are accessible, exactly where to park and whether you need to arrange extra assistance. Energylandia operates a Service Desk for Guests with Disabilities at the entrance; at the Abbey it’s best to schedule visits in advance.
Bring lightweight or foldable gear: a small folding stroller is easier to push through crowds; a baby carrier or sling is useful when visiting monuments with stone steps. Bring a mat or blanket and a changing kit — although many places have changing tables, they’re not always immediately available.
Plan rest breaks: for long itineraries schedule pauses for feeding, snacks and naps for the little one. At Energylandia use family zones and quieter corners; at Mogila pick a peaceful spot in the cloisters to rest.
Stroller storage: on some attractions you may need to leave the stroller at an outdoor stand or at the ride entrance — bring a small lock or note where you left it.
Ask about concessions: the abbey museum provides reduced-price tickets for people with disabilities, and Energylandia also offers information and accommodations at the entrance.
Documents for concessions (e.g., disability ID) — if you plan to use reduced museum tickets or free parking for people with disabilities at Energylandia.
Water and snacks — a long day in the park can be tiring; having water and small snacks for children helps while waiting in lines.
First aid kit and basic children’s medicines — plasters, child-appropriate pain reliever, sunscreen.
Small ready changing kit and spare clothes — even if there are changing tables, it’s more convenient to have your own supplies.
Powerbank and a charged phone with a map — in large parks and at historic sites internet and signal can be unstable.
Energylandia has dozens of food outlets across the park, from family buffets to smaller stalls — it’s usually easy to find something for a child. Family zones typically offer seating and a comfortable place to feed the little one. Keep in mind that in season popular outlets form queues — consider an emergency plan or eat outside peak times (for example earlier or later than school groups).
In Krakow, around Nowa Huta and Mogila you’ll find cafes and small restaurants serving homemade-style food — for family travel it’s best to look for places with changing facilities and roomy seating. If you want recommendations from locals or the latest popular spots, try asking staff at the abbey or at your accommodation when you arrive.
Not booking anything in advance — on busy weekends Energylandia gets very crowded; consider buying tickets online or arriving early.
Not checking the museum’s opening hours — the abbey may have changed visiting days or restrictions on access (for example some rooms may be closed). Always verify current hours and visiting rules before you set off.
Expecting full accessibility of historic interiors for large strollers — many historic sites have thresholds, narrow passages or stairs; contact staff to find out which parts are fully accessible for strollers.
No plan for your child’s rest — schedule breaks to make the day easier for everyone.
Does Energylandia have parking spaces for people with disabilities? Yes — the park has designated parking spaces for cars displaying a valid parking card; parking may be free upon presentation of the document.
Does the Abbey in Mogila offer reduced tickets for people with disabilities? Yes — the museum provides reduced and family tickets; a caregiver of a person with disabilities often has free or reduced admission — confirm details when purchasing a ticket.
Can I take a stroller into the Abbey’s interiors? Some museum displays are accessible with a stroller, but not all historic rooms (for example the monastic library) are open for regular visits; contact staff before your visit to ask about possible limitations.
Energylandia’s Service Desk for Guests with Disabilities — visit it at the entrance to learn which attractions will suit you best and whether there are preferential boarding procedures. The desk provides dedicated information and assistance.
At the Abbey ask about guided tours — the museum arranges guided visits of the exhibition and cloisters (different formats may be available) — because not all monastic interiors are open at all times, booking in advance is good practice.
Bring a small light (phone flashlight) for visits to older chapels or cloister corners — some side chapels or passageways are dimly lit and extra light helps you see details.
