Energylandia in Zator is close to Kraków (roughly 45–60 minutes by car) and — with a little planning — can be visited with small children and a stroller without needing to climb stairs along the park’s main routes. The park declares infrastructure adapted for wheelchair users: there are accessible restrooms, designated parking spaces and a Service Desk for Guests with Disabilities — a good base for organising a comfortable, stair‑free day with your family.
By car: the simplest option with small children — you can park close to the entrance which minimises lifting the stroller. The park has large parking areas and spaces for visitors with disabilities; parking fees vary by season, so check the current price list before you go.
By train: in season there are connections that stop at a station marked “Zator Park Rozrywki” and at selected times a small park shuttle train or bus runs between the station and the entrance. If you travel by train with a stroller, check timetables and the availability of dedicated shuttle services — these are sometimes seasonal.
Bus/taxi: tour operators and carriers run special services in peak season; a taxi from nearby stations is a convenient alternative if you don’t want to carry a heavy stroller between platforms and the park.
When planning public‑transport travel, confirm departure times and any transfer from the station to the entrance in advance — it will save you stress with children in the morning.
Main paths and park zones are paved and mostly free of stairs — this makes it easy to move around with a stroller or wheelchair. There is a Service Desk at the entrance where you can get help and information about attraction accessibility.
The park has accessible restrooms and first‑aid/medical points. If you have special needs (for example, needing shorter queues or special entry), report to the Service Desk as soon as you enter.
Extreme rides and rollercoasters have their own safety rules — strollers must be left outside the queues; staff will point out a safe place to park your stroller or direct you to luggage storage. Not every ride is suitable for children in strollers, but family zones and Bajkolandia offer plenty of attractions for little ones.
Arrive before the park opens — an early start gives you the most time to enjoy the children’s areas without long queues and reduces unnecessary stroller carrying. Start in Bajkolandia and the Family Zone — these areas have attractions friendly to the youngest children and short distances between rides.
Plan a break for a mid‑morning snack or a midday show — many places have covered benches and rest zones where you can park the stroller and relax. After a rest you can visit the Water Park (if you plan to swim) or quieter family attractions.
If you’re returning by train, allow time to walk to the station and catch any shuttle train. Don’t leave the return for the last minute — seasonal services may run less frequently in the evening.
The park has dozens of food outlets — from food trucks to themed restaurants — so even picky eaters will usually find something. Choose places with good reviews if you want more reliable quality and faster service.
Examples often recommended: Formuła Restaurant (a full‑service restaurant inside the park), Orient Express (Asian cuisine available in the park) and restaurants near local accommodation such as Bonanza at WesternCamp — it’s wise to make reservations for larger groups or on busy weekends.
To save time and money, bring snacks and a water bottle — the park has picnic zones and storage options, and there are often choices for vegans and guests with allergies.
Arriving just before noon on a weekend — result: long queues and lots of walking. Solution: come early or choose a weekday outside school holiday season.
Using a heavy stroller with small wheels — on wide alleys a compact off‑road stroller or a carrier works better. Solution: use a lightweight stroller or one with larger wheels, or bring a carrier for short stretches.
Not checking train/shuttle timetables — you might be stuck without a quick return. Solution: check schedules before you leave and plan a backup (taxi, bus).
Not reading attraction rules — some rides have height or health restrictions. Solution: check attraction information at the entrance or in the park app before joining the queue.
Documents and tickets (buy online to shorten entry time) and any certificates that entitle you to discounts.
A small first‑aid kit, sunscreen, extra water, snacks and a change of clothes for children.
A stroller with suspension or removable wheels, rain cover for the stroller, a small backpack for essentials and a phone power bank.
Cash and card — many food outlets accept cards and there are ATMs, but in high season it’s good to have an alternative payment method.
