Each winter the Stanisław Lem Experimental Garden hosts the ‘Garden of Lights’ - a paid family attraction comprising 6 hectares of elaborate illuminated installations in the chill open-air. This year’s theme is 'Pinocchio' - featuring over 72,000 LED lights and over 80 glowing 3D lantern sculptures from the popular children's book, including colourful installations of the Land of Toys and the Island of Busy Bees. As this is Europe, the magical journey created here sticks closer to the plot and characters of the original Italian novel than the Disney cartoon (though the creepy and sinister stuff has been mercifully excluded). Amongst the litany of light and sound attractions are a long, luminous 70m tunnel, a multimedia Christmas tree, and interactive multimedia stations, plus rumoured drone shows (check their social media). Although, in our opinion, this is the kind of thing that looks better on social media than IRL, it’s sure to delight younger kids and a nice opportunity to be outside in the crisp air on an early winter evening. Food and drinks are available and the attraction is easily accessible by tram (get off at ‘Ogród Doświadczeń’).
