What to do in Kudowa-Zdrój when it rains? A pool, museums, a rope park, a play hall and a library with board games. A full day plan under a roof.
Start with places that keep kids moving. Capitalna Zabawa on Jana Matejki Street covers 372 square metres and has a three-level climbing structure 7 metres high. Children can burn off energy whatever the weather, while parents rest in a cafe with homemade pastries. The Kudowa Rope Park works similarly, with three routes of rising difficulty, from green for children to high for the experienced.
A soggy afternoon also suits the Wodny Świat aquapark. The water is saline, as salty as the Baltic, with no chlorine. There is a full-size pool, a paddling pool, a jacuzzi, a 92-metre water slide and a pool with geysers and an artificial river. A sauna is included in the ticket, and a bowling alley with two lanes operates on site.
There are plenty in Kudowa. The Interactive Museum of the Kłodzko Land has eighteen themed rooms on over 600 square metres, with a storm simulation, a hologram and a game with UV torches. The Toy Museum shows more than 10,000 toys from antiquity to the 1980s. For stone lovers there is the Museum of Minerals with over 650 specimens and a meteorite; a visit takes about 40 minutes.
The Table Mountains National Park Eco-Centre shows the fauna, flora and non-living nature of the mountains you see through the window. Two open-air museums also have indoor spaces: the Trail of Vanishing Trades with its bread house and smithy, and the Museum of Folk Culture of the Sudeten Foothills in Pstrążna, with seventeen wooden buildings holding original furniture and tools. Part of the exhibition is outdoors, so bring a rain jacket.
Yes. The Municipal Public Library at Zdrojowa 16 lends not only books but also board games and interactive Albik pens. Discussion book clubs meet there, and the library organises a Library Drive-In Cinema and joins the National Reading event each year. Residents, spa guests and tourists all use its collection.
Two stops are enough: one active and one calm. A sample plan: the Interactive Museum of the Kłodzko Land in the morning, then the aquapark or Capitalna Zabawa in the afternoon. When the rain eases, add the open-air museum in Pstrążna, but bring a jacket. Adults without children can build a day from a museum and the library.
