Things to do with children in Ustroń: the Forest Park of Surprises, toboggan runs on Równica and Czantoria, a rope park and a teddy bear show.
Most places lie on the slopes of Równica and Czantoria in the Silesian Beskids, so an outing with a child comes with views and fresh air. There is a zoo, toboggan rides, rope climbing and one place in a railway station building. You can match the five suggestions to your child's age.
For younger children the easiest choices are the Forest Park of Surprises at Zdrojowa 16 or the exhibition at the Station of Good Thoughts.
The Forest Park of Surprises is a fifteen-hectare zoo on the slope of Równica, among old beech trees. It opened on 1 August 2002, and visitors walk paths totalling 3.5 km. About thirty species live here, among them deer, bison, mouflon, alpacas, wildcats and raccoon dogs, and the park also stages flights of birds of prey and owls. The Station of Good Thoughts at Dworcowa 4 is an exhibition of plush teddy bears on the ground floor and first floor of the station building in Ustroń Kuźnia. The name refers to the railway.
Older children can try the Rope Park on Równica, and the whole family can head for the Równica Mountain Park with its year-round toboggan run.
The rope park stands on the summit of Równica and has a separate children's course with twenty-six obstacles. Children aged five and over may use it, and younger ones with a parent. Safety is provided by the BORNACK system with continuous belaying, and the park can take up to a hundred and fifty people at once. Besides the run, Równica Mountain Park has a spherical cinema, a 7D cinema, quad bikes, a slide for children and a playground. Meals are served by the Karczma Biesiadna inn on the grounds, and accommodation by Villa Jelenica.
Yes, the summer toboggan run on Czantoria lies just below the upper chairlift station on the slope of Czantoria Wielka.
It is a gravity slide, meaning the sledges travel down by their own weight, without a motor. It is listed among the summer facilities of the Czantoria cable-lift ski resort. More ideas for a mountain outing are in the article Beskids with a child: toboggan runs, rope parks and places where children are never bored. More of the town is covered on the Ustroń page and under museums in Ustroń, and the regional roundup is attractions for children in Silesia.
Children aged five and over may use the children's course, and younger ones with a parent.
Among others deer, bison, mouflon, fallow deer, alpacas, wild boar, wildcats and raccoon dogs, as well as birds of prey and owls.
No. The rope park and Równica Mountain Park are on Równica, the summer run is on Czantoria, and the zoo and station are in town.
On the year-round run in Równica Mountain Park or on the summer run below the upper lift station on Czantoria.
