Wrocław Aquapark

Completed in 2008, Wrocław's water park is one of the country's finest and makes for a nice respite from the city's confoundingly complex history and high-minded cultural attractions. And it's probably the only place your kids will tell their friends about from their trip to Wrocław. While the main attractions are surely the indoor and outdoor recreational swimming pools with their water slides (including the most recent addition - a multimedia slide involving lights and music to distract you as you plummet), wave machines, 'lazy river' and other wonders, a fitness centre, restaurant, cafe, bar and shop are also on hand, making a trip to the Aqua Park a full day's outing, just south of the train station. From the city centre you can take trams 8, 9, 15, 31 or 32, and bus numbers 113, 145, 146 or 612.
