Completed in 2008, Wrocław's water park is easily one of the finest in the country and makes for a nice respite from the city's confoundingly complex history and high-minded cultural attractions. And it's probably the only place your kids will tell their friends about from their trip to Wrocław. While the main attractions are surely the indoor and outdoor recreational swimming pools with their water slides (including the most recent addition - a multimedia slide involving lights and music to distract you as you plummet), wave machines, 'wild river' and other wonders, adults will appreciate the Wellness Day Spa with saunas, solaria, Jacuzzis, massage services and more. Also on hand is a fitness centre, restaurant, cafe, bar and shop, making a trip to the Water Park a full day's outing, just south of the train station. From the city centre you can usually take trams 31, 32 or 8 and bus numbers 113 or 612.

Admission 18/16zł, per hour; 50/39zł for a day pass.
