We really wanted to see the miniature world offered by the Centre for Education and Leisure Mikroskala located in Konin. It is a place that is definitely worth visiting with family. We first heard about this place from the blog of Kinga and Michał (Leo Lea Blog) - a traveling family from Wrocław. Encouraged by their...
We noticed that the Museum of the Origins of the Polish State had prepared a special event for families. It is named Family Sundays. We wanted to give it a try, so a few minutes before 11 AM we went to the Museum building. In the hall, a group of children had gathered with their...
In Poznań at noon, a crowd of tourists who want to enjoy the Poznań goats show gathers at the Old Market Square. Precisely at 12:00 two metal goat figurines emerge from above the clock on the town hall tower and butt their horns 12 times. The history of the Poznań goats dates back to the...
It has become a tradition - our winter trip for a week of skiing in the mountains. Every year we have new experiences. For the winter break in 2016, we went to Gliczarów Górny - a small village near Zakopane. It is a place loved by amateur skiers, and we are amateurs too. Fun fact:...
At the Wielka Krokiew in Zakopane, the world's largest snow maze was created, with ambitions of breaking the Guinness World Record. It occupies 2.5 thousand square meters. The previous record was held by Canadians (at 1,700 sq. meters). This one, located in Zakopane, is made from 60,000 blocks of snow. It was built by 40 people. We...
We spent the winter holidays skiing near Zakopane. However, it was nice to have a day off. So we came up with the idea of going to Zakopane and riding up Gubałówka hill with the kids. Gubałówka is an oblong hill with a height of 1126 m a.s.l. on the north-west side of Zakopane. You...

We were able to see the best ice sculptors from around the world at the Old Market Square in Poznań. They carved ice sculptures in front of the audience.

In the winter of 2015, Poznań had quite an unusual attraction: WinterCamp City, a winter village with many attractions for adults and children. What we liked most were the classes in the Winter Laboratory run by the Little Engineer team. There were experiments with smoking dry ice. The children really liked these workshops. Fun fact:...
In the summer of 2015 we spent the holidays exploring unknown parts of our country. As we come from the western part of the country, we had never explored the areas east of Warsaw. The plan was to visit the most interesting places and attractions for children. After long evenings of preparation we established the...
It was raining and we hadn't chosen accommodation for the night. However, we had one more attraction to visit. It was the Neolithic mines of striped flint in Krzemionki. But first, we went to Ostrowiec for dinner, hoping the weather would settle down. Unfortunately, no luck - it rained the whole time. It was tough, but you...
