Yes — Energylandia provides a special ticket category for pregnant women, but the park regulations require presenting a document confirming the pregnancy (for example, a pregnancy record card, to the extent necessary for verification). That means an expectant mother may enter the park, but access to some attractions may be restricted for safety reasons.
In practice it’s useful to remember that "allowed to enter" doesn’t always mean "able to use everything." The park is large and contains attractions with very different intensity levels — some are perfectly safe for strolling, watching shows or gentle carousels, while others (extreme roller coasters, rapid spins, strong g-forces) should be avoided.
Energylandia’s opening hours depend on the season and special events. Outside the high season the park usually operates shorter hours (for example opening in the morning and closing in the early evening), while in the summer season hours are often extended — most commonly from about 10:00 to 20:00. On days with major events some parts of the park may stay open later (sometimes into late evening).
For comfort and to enjoy the milder attractions more quickly, we recommend arriving just before opening — it’s usually the quietest time and easier to find a place to rest. Always check the park’s current opening calendar and schedule on the official site before you travel.
Energylandia’s rules include a ticket category “for pregnant women” — to use it you must present a document confirming the pregnancy together with an identity document as needed for verification. Keep your pregnancy card handy when you plan to buy a ticket or enter the park.
Ticket prices and sales rules change with season and promotions, so it’s worth buying tickets online in advance — you’ll save time at the entrance and avoid queues at the ticket office. Before purchase, check the ticket description to see which documents are required at entry so there are no surprises at the gate.
Be cautious with attractions that generate large g-forces, fast rotations or sudden drops — this includes extreme roller coasters and dynamic simulators. Staff and posted device regulations often list health contraindications — read them carefully.
Safer options include gentler carousels, family attractions, themed areas, live shows and walks around the park. The Water Park opens only in suitable weather — if you plan to use water attractions, check which pools are appropriate for you and, when in doubt about health, consult your doctor first.
Plan breaks: Energylandia covers a large area, so schedule several longer stops in the shade. Look for seating areas, rest zones or restaurants to sit down, rest and hydrate regularly.
Bring water, light snacks, a hat and sunscreen. Comfortable, stable shoes and layered clothing are essential — weather and temperature can change quickly during the day.
Travel by car or plan transport in advance — getting from Krakow usually takes about 40–60 minutes depending on route and traffic. The park offers paid parking; the official site has details about fees and parking locations.
Discuss your plan with your doctor, especially if you are in an advanced pregnancy or have any medical contraindications. That’s the best way to keep you and your baby safe during the trip.
There are several food outlets and restaurants inside Energylandia — convenient if you don’t want to leave the park for a meal. Choose places offering light, fresh dishes so you don’t overburden yourself with heavy meals in the heat.
If you plan to stay overnight, one practical option is dining at the restaurant in Energylandia’s official hotel — the convenience and lack of extra travel after a long day are a big advantage for expectant mothers. Around Zator you’ll also find guesthouses and small hotels with good reviews offering home-style meals and a friendly atmosphere.
For a multi-day trip, the most convenient accommodations are those close to the park: the official Energylandia Hotel is a very comfortable option — it allows quick return to the room and rest after a day full of activities.
The Zator area also offers well-rated guesthouses, apartments and holiday centers (for example family cottages or apartment rentals). If you prefer to base yourself in Krakow it is still feasible to make a day trip, but remember this increases travel time and often requires an earlier departure from the city.
Not checking current opening hours and events — the park changes hours depending on season and special events. Always check the calendar before you go.
Not having a document confirming pregnancy — if you want the discounted category, bring the appropriate document, otherwise you may be asked to purchase a different ticket type.
Trying to use extreme attractions — this risks health. Plan a calmer program and choose attractions that do not cause sudden overloads.
Underestimating time and fatigue — the park is large, so set a pace that includes frequent breaks and rest.
Energylandia is a sprawling park covering several dozen hectares with multiple themed zones — pick in advance which sections you want to visit so you don’t waste time moving between them.
Some water attractions and pools operate only in good weather — in practice this means the whole Water Park may not always be available even if the rest of the park is open.
Park staff and informational signs at attractions clearly state health contraindications — use these notices as a reliable source instead of relying solely on intuition.
Will a pregnant woman receive a special ticket? Yes — the park regulations include a ticket category for pregnant women, but presenting a document confirming pregnancy is required.
Can I use the Water Park? The water park is opened depending on weather and safety rules — not all elements will be available every day, so check on arrival or in advance online.
Is parking paid? Energylandia provides parking; current parking fee information is available on the park’s official site.
Should I consult a doctor before visiting? If you have any doubts about your health during pregnancy or plan to undertake physical activities, consult your attending physician before the visit.
