Amusement park Legendia is the oldest and for a long time the only amusement park in Poland. For more than 60 years of its existence, it has brought joy to young and old visitors, and not only in summer.
You can find the Legendia amusement park in the south of Poland in the town of Chorzow somewhere on the route between Katowice and Krakow. So it is relatively close to two international airports. In addition, Krakow, the second largest city in Poland, also offers a lot, and not only for kids.
Legendia itself is a place for the whole family. It extends around a water reservoir in one of the largest parks in Poland. In its immediate vicinity, you can find a Zoo, an open-air museum, or even an observatory. But the amusement park is not to be missed. It literally shines on all sides of the world. Inside Legendia, the design of the surroundings and attractions is based on classic fairy tales. Such a dancing Cinderella or Airplane will make your head spin. How about catching some basilisks?

Legendia amusement park in winter
Is there any reason why Legendia theme park should be open in winter? Yes! Legendia always disguises itself as the Garden of Lights (Ogród Swiatel) for a few months of the year. Such a magical light park stands out in the winter darkness. The entrance fee to the winter Legendia is then rapidly lower than in the summer season, and only a few attractions are functional during this period, mainly for the smallest children. Everything here is magically lit up, there will be a lot of fairy-tale characters, the stalls smell of hot chocolate, and the Legendia amusement park is worth it even in winter!
