The archeological layers of the Main Square contain 1000 years of history. All incredibly presented in the underground exhibition. If you want to see how Main Square looked like in the late Middle Ages or in the time when Mikolaj Kopernik was walking about - one needs to go underground.

Typical aquapark. The park has a big selection of pools, saunas, stream baths and slides to choose from. Some of the slides are long-lasting and goes very fast (steep paths). There is a labyrinth for small kids on the ground floor. Be careful with extra time which is much more expensive than declared.
