Zgorzelec in the rain means a museum, a philosopher's house, a library, play centres and a range, a whole day plan without getting wet.
The safest choice is two townhouses on Daszyńskiego Street. The Lusatian Museum occupies a brick building from the turn of the 18th century. It has operated since 2007, and its permanent exhibition, opened on 19 March 2010, presents a Lusatian cottage from the 18th and 19th centuries. In the same area stands Jacob Böhme House. You see a reconstructed shoemaker's workshop where the German mystic and philosopher worked, and upstairs a room with copies of his manuscripts and first editions. The two places fill a morning and need no long walk in the wet.
The Municipal Public Library at Bohaterów Getta 1 is more than a lending desk. It has four branches and a separate children's and youth department, lends e-readers and board games, and keeps materials in Ukrainian. E-books come through Legimi, and readers can use the IBUK Libra database, Cyfrowy Dolny Śląsk and Academica. If you prefer action, there is the BABYLON air rifle range, in a red-brick building by the car park in front of the District Police Headquarters. Confirm its offer, the types of rifles and entry rules on site or by phone, because the venue's website was unavailable.
At Xtreme KiDS children aged 0 to 12 get several zones: X-Baby for the youngest with a ball pit and slides, X-Ninja with trampolines, tunnels and climbing elements, and X-Gym, a gym for children. Inna Bajka at Daszyńskiego 59 is a play centre focused on birthdays, so ask about hours and bookings in advance. More ideas for the little ones are in Zgorzelec for children.
You can arrange a rainy day like this: the museum and Böhme House on Daszyńskiego Street in the morning, the library or a play centre at midday, and the range in the afternoon, since it lies close to the centre, not far from the Old Town Bridge. The Lusatian Museum is listed as a monument under number 1313/J of 24 September 1997, so it doubles as a lesson in local architecture. Check opening hours for every visit, because we do not give them in the description.
If you travel alone, choose from the places under Zgorzelec solo. For a wider view of the region see rainy-day attractions, and for the full town overview attractions in Zgorzelec.
