Rainy day: Lubin

Is it raining in Lubin? Here is a plan: play rooms, bowling alleys, museums, galleries and libraries, all under a roof. Pick a set that suits you.

What to do in Lubin when it rains?

The easiest split is three groups: play for children, games and sport, and museums and libraries. Every place listed here carries the rainy day tag. Two exceptions are outdoors: the zoo is free and has themed trails, but bring a jacket. The outdoor RCS pools are an option for a break in the clouds, not for a downpour.

Where to go with kids when it pours?

The most room to run is at Hoppark at 3 Zwierzyckiego Street. It accepts children from age 3 and has a parkour zone, a gladiator track and foam pits. Akuku offers five slides and a separate zone for children up to four, while parents wait in the cafe. Mrówka at 7 Wrocławska Street is an indoor room with a ball pit and an obstacle course. Similar options are Bawidełko with its cafe, toy shop, wooden toys and educational classes, Kubusiowy Zakątek on Norwida Street and Dziecięca Kraina on Kopernika Street. Akuku accepts the Large Family Card and Hoppark hosts birthday parties, so rain need not spoil a celebration.

Which museums and galleries to pick for a wet day?

The Historical Museum has four sites, so you can see one and come back another day. In the Town Hall at 23 Rynek you will find a permanent exhibition on the everyday life of Lubin residents in the twentieth century. The Museum of the Lubin Region shows copper mining: machines, copper minerals, miners' clothing and a reconstructed gallery in the "Bolesław" shaft. Pałacyk Gallery, with art exhibitions in a historic villa, offers free entry. The Lubin Pioneers 1945 open-air exhibition by the station, with its Ty2-22 locomotive, carries the rainy day tag because you also walk through the rolling stock.

Where can you play and shoot under a roof?

Two bowling alleys welcome groups: BowlingClubLubin with eight lanes and a pizzeria, and Kręgielnia RCS with six lanes, billiard tables and table-top air hockey. Laser Tag Arena runs laser tag and paintball, and RCS Strzelnica has 24 shooting stands. All of them lie near other attractions, so they combine easily into one day.

Where to wait out the rain in peace?

The four libraries of the Municipal Public Library carry the rainy day and solo tags. The Czytnik and Łącznik libraries are multimedia departments, and two branches work at 17 Żurawia and on Jastrzębia Street. Besides books you will find audiobooks, CDs and internet access. If you prefer themed lists, check places for families and entertainment in Lubin. The full overview is on the town page, and ideas from other towns sit under rainy day attractions in the region.
