What to do in Legnica in the rain? A museum, galleries, play centres, bowling and an escape room. Indoor picks for every kind of group.
Start with the Copper Museum at Partyzantów 3, in the Baroque building of the former curia of the Lubiąż abbots, dating from 1728. The institution was founded in 1962. It is the only museum in Poland devoted to copper, with collections on the mining, processing and use of the metal, and also the historical museum of the city. The second stop is the Art Gallery on Katedralny Square, which shows exhibitions of painting, art jewellery and photography. Entry to the exhibitions is free.
Add the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, a Gothic building with two towers whose present structure dates from 1333 to 1380. Entry is free, and the solo tag hints that it is a good place to shelter alone from the rain.
The most room to move is at Jump Heaven: gymnastics lanes, an obstacle course, a climbing wall, a foam pit and air cushions. Two play centres work inside shopping centres. Xtreme KiDS in Gwiezdna Gallery takes children from 0 to 12 and sits next to the Xtreme Fitness club. Kinderplaneta in the Ferio centre has slides, science experiments and meetings with animals.
Kids who prefer bricks to trampolines can go to Peter Pan Academy on Kasjopei Street, with LEGO, robotics and first coding classes. Children from three play on their own, younger ones with a carer. A calmer option is the Children and Young People's Branch no. 2 at Pomorska 56, aimed at the youngest readers. Its activities are not described, so call before you set out.
SkyGames on Wjazdowa Street has three bowling lanes, pool, darts and table hockey. Booking is by phone. Dancing Queen combines a bowling alley, pool and a dance hall: Thursday is karaoke, Friday concerts and club nights, and Saturday a dancing party. For puzzles, try LockER in the centre, on Najświętszej Marii Panny Street. You must book a slot, and players under 16 take part only with an adult. More places like these are in entertainment in Legnica.
The RING Gallery at Rynek 12 is an extra exhibition space of the Art Gallery, open Tuesday to Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00, with free entry. Check the current schedule before you go. The libraries range from nature to lending: the Ekobiblioteka at Łukasińskiego 30 holds over 13,200 volumes on nature and environmental protection, the Adult Lending Library works in the townhouse known as the Masonic Lodge at Rynek 15, and Branch no. 1 serves the estate around Poli Gojawiczyńskiej Street.
The "Na Zosinku" rope park and the playground on Orła Białego Avenue also carry the rainy-day tag, but they are open-air sites. Treat them as a plan for when the sky clears. When the weather improves, look at parks and nature or historic sites.
Entry is free to the cathedral and to the exhibitions at the Art Gallery and the RING Gallery. The full list of free entries is in free attractions in Legnica.
Choose the trampoline park, one of the play centres in the shopping centres, or classes with bricks and robotics. A wider list is on Legnica for children.
Yes, LockER requires a booking in advance. Children under 16 may play only with an adult.
The cathedral, the Copper Museum, the galleries and the libraries all work. What they share is the solo tag. More ideas are in Legnica solo, and the whole city is on the Legnica attractions page.
