Bricks & Figs is a new (2025) permanent exhibition of LEGO sets and minifigures in Kraków, located in Zabłocie — right next to the historic Kazimierz district. This place delights not only children but also adult collectors: thousands of minifigures, hundreds of rare sets and a play area mean a visit usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half. If you plan an evening visit and dinner with a stroller — it can be comfortably arranged, you just need to know where and how.
At the Bricks & Figs exhibition you'll see, among other things, large collections of minifigures and sets — a real treat for LEGO fans. Inside there is a display area, an interactive zone, and a shop with a wide selection of sets. For the youngest visitors there's a corner with Duplo elements and a space for free building, so little ones have something to do while adults look at the exhibits.
Typical visiting time is 1–1.5 hours, but families with small children should allow extra time for play and breaks. The museum is at Henryka Dąbrowskiego 20 in Zabłocie — very close to Kazimierz, so it's easy to combine a visit with dinner in that atmospheric neighborhood.
It's useful to know there are parking options nearby and a gift shop inside the venue — for many kids and adults it's a nice stop after the exhibition.
Early reports indicate the museum considers the needs of people using strollers and wheelchairs — exhibition spaces are arranged so you can usually get through with a stroller, and ground-level entry makes coming in with a pram easier. Still, prepare practically: choose a lightweight, easy-to-fold stroller if you may need to carry it through any narrower passages.
If you prefer to keep your hands free while exploring, consider a baby carrier — that's often more comfortable in busier exhibition zones. Before your visit you can also call ahead or check with the museum about elevator access and cloakroom services, especially if you plan an evening visit or a weekend trip.
Kazimierz and Zabłocie offer many places with different characters — from cozy bistros to popular tourist restaurants. If you're going with a stroller, it's best to choose a place with ground-level access, wide aisles and room to keep the stroller next to the table. A few tried-and-true, well-rated places in the area:
- Pod Wawelem (a well-known chain with large spaces often mentioned as family-friendly) — roomy interior, an accessible menu and family amenities.
- Nova Resto Bar (Estery) — an intimate spot in Kazimierz recommended by families; it's worth reserving a table and asking for a spot that makes it easy to park a stroller.
- Look for places that advertise family offers and a children's corner — choose restaurants that openly list kids' menus and changing facilities in toilets.
When choosing a restaurant, check reviews and reserve a table in advance — especially weekend evenings, when Kazimierz is very popular.
A sample plan that works well for families with small children: arrive at the museum in the early or late afternoon (you'll avoid the biggest crowds), take a stroll around Zabłocie or a short walk toward Kazimierz, then have a reserved table for dinner at one of the recommended restaurants. This way you avoid long lines and tired kids.
If you plan to go straight to dinner after the visit, make sure beforehand that the restaurant has space for a stroller and a changing table — a phone reservation noting “we’ll come with a stroller” makes seating easier and more comfortable.
For families with infants, afternoon opening hours or a slot just before dinner can help: the child gets some playtime and is less likely to be overtired during the meal.
Not reserving a table — on weekends and evenings many venues are full, and with a stroller it can be harder to find a suitable table at the last minute. A reservation that mentions the stroller solves this.
Arriving at the museum at the last minute — that can mean more visitors and less space to move comfortably with a stroller. It's better to plan your visit outside peak times.
Not checking amenities before you leave — confirm by phone whether there's a changing table, high chair or the possibility to bring a stroller into the exhibition area. A few quick questions before you go save nerves on site.
Is the museum stroller-accessible? - Yes, the exhibition space and ground-level entrance make it easier to move around with a stroller; still, we recommend a brief phone call before your visit if you need specific facilities.
How much time do we need to visit? - A standard visit takes about 1–1.5 hours. Families with small children should add extra time for play and breaks.
Are there restaurants nearby with changing tables and child-friendly facilities? - Yes, in Kazimierz you'll find several well-rated family-friendly places; it's best to reserve ahead and ask about a changing table when booking.
Is it worth visiting the museum in the evening? - Evening hours can be calmer in terms of daytime tourists, but keep in mind many Kazimierz restaurants fill up quickly. If you plan dinner, book the table in advance.
To streamline logistics a bit — consider leaving the stroller at the restaurant (if the staff agree) and bring a carrier or sling; narrow passages around some exhibits are easier to manage without a pram.
Bring a small kit of familiar toys and snacks — even a short queue or waiting at the table goes more smoothly when the child has something familiar.
