The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Krakow, Southern Poland

October 13, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Krakow is one of the most culturally and politically significant cities in Poland. It was the central site of the Nazi General Government during WWII, and there’s still a residual feeling of solemnity here that’s especially apparent during visits to the Plaszow Concentration Camp and the Oskar Schindler Factory. Both the Historic City Centre and the Jewish District are brimming with cafés, shops, and pubs, and the 10-acre Main Market Square is a medieval feast for the senses.

Krakow Arcade Museum

A blast from the past! The only one in Poland private collection of over 130 arcade games available on Free Play. Museum presents history of entertainment. Oldest table game dates back to 1936. Main focus though is placed on 80' and 90' classics. One cannot miss Pac Man, Galaga, Mortal Kombat and dozens of driving and shooting games. Great for kids and adults. Perfect for a rainy day. It is a time machine that will transport you back to your happy childhood memories. Cannot be missed while in Krakow - only 15 min tram ride from the city center. There is also big free parking in front.

I visited the museum for my birthday while visiting Krakow. It was my idea of heaven. Some great classic games from my youth such as house of the dead, time crisis and my personal favourite the simpsons arcade game. I spent a good number of hours there but easily could have spent all day. If I ever make it back to Krakow I will be sure to visit again. This was definitely my happy place!

Wawel Royal Castle

Serving as a royal residence and the site where the country's rulers governed Poland for five centuries (1038-1596), this castle is a symbol of the independent Polish state and today contains a priceless collection of 16th-century Flemish tapestries, considered to be one of the largest in the world.

Definitely worth your visit, amazing detail and architecture especially see Lost Wawel and the armoury. Strangely you have to buy tickets for each section you are wanting to see and the queues are long so definitely use online if you can. Also strangely the cathedral is another ticket and another office. They should really just sell one ticket covers all. It would be a lot quicker!
