Rainy Day Activities for Kids in Gdańsk, 5 of 11: Maritime Culture Centre



A branch of the National Maritime Museum in a brick-and-glass building on the Motława. Its interactive hall, "People, Ships, Ports", has over 60 stations: ship and bathyscaphe simulators, a lifeboat and evacuation chute, and a pool with a wind generator where kids sail remote-controlled model ships.
Over 40 traditional boats fill the glass lobby and the "Boats of Peoples of the World" exhibition, from a Venetian gondola to a sampan.
