For families in Rybnik: the Ignacy Historic Mine, the SOWA science centre and the Dżungla play hall. Three addresses where children will not get bored.
Two of the places share the grounds of a former mine in Niewiadom, and the third is in the town centre, on Chrobrego Street.
The Ignacy Historic Mine at 3 Mościckiego Street is a former coal mine from 1792 that opened to visitors in 1999. You will find steam engines, exhibitions and a forty-six-metre viewing tower. The story of the mine is told in the article Zabytkowa Kopalnia Ignacy w Rybniku.
The same grounds house SOWA, a compact science centre with twenty-eight hands-on exhibits and a workshop room, where children can find out how things work on their own. For letting off steam, pick Dżungla, a play hall with slides, an obstacle course, trampolines, a corner for toddlers and a café. More family ideas are under family attractions and among the places in Rybnik.
Yes. Dżungla is a play hall and SOWA is a science centre, so both work in poor weather.
Yes, the SOWA science centre, with interactive exhibits and a workshop room.
