Children's Day in the Tricity 2027

Gdynia's city-hosted Children's Day fair turns a park into one big family playground for the day. Kids bounce on inflatables, chase giant soap bubbles, get their faces painted and meet police officers, city guards and firefighters up close.

There's a stage with a kids' concert, hands-on craft workshops and team games like tug-of-war and relay races. It suits toddlers through primary-school kids who like to roam between stations.

For Poland's Children's Day (Dzień Dziecka), Gdańsk Zoo sets up a come-and-go day of crafts, puzzles and games on a square inside the zoo. Kids drift between the stalls, wander off to see the animals, then come back for another round.

It suits kids who like making things with their hands and moving at their own pace. Families after rides or a big stage show will find it low-key.

Gdańsk Zoo covers 124 hectares in Oliwa, with nearly 900 animals from 144 species, including elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, orangutans and red pandas. Keepers feed the African penguins and gray seals in front of visitors most days.

At the Children's Zoo, kids pet and feed goats, rabbits and alpacas. The ZOOlandia rope park inside the grounds has 15 tree obstacles and a 26-meter zip line.

A hands-on science center in Gdynia where kids test the exhibits instead of reading about them. Magnesto has 10 magnetism stations, including an electromagnetic accelerator and magnet races. Tajemnice głębin shows over 40 models of deep-sea creatures, from vampire squid to glowing jellyfish. Other halls cover the human body, water, health, physics and nature, and family workshops run alongside the exhibitions.
