Śródmieście and the city centre of Łódź are not just shops on Piotrkowska street - at Silver Screen and nearby EC1, parents will find a few places for an hour or two with a child, especially useful when it rains.
A play room and bowling in the same building
Jupi Park and Jazda!Park Silver both operate in the same Silver Screen complex at Piłsudskiego 5. A younger child can bounce on the trampolines and play in the ball pit at Jupi Park, while older siblings or parents can play bowling or billiards next door at the same time, with no need to move between different parts of the city.
A comic book museum in EC1 and sport in the historic YMCA
The former EC1 power plant houses the Centre for Comics and Interactive Narration (CKINI), with a collection devoted to Polish comics and games - a good choice for children who already read and are interested in drawing. A few streets away, in the historic YMCA building on Moniuszki street from the 1930s, classes are held in the gymnasium and dance hall (the building's former swimming pool is now closed).
Which place to choose when it rains?
All four places are indoors, so rain does not get in the way of any of them. For a small child, Jupi Park works best; for an older one, the bowling alley or CKINI. More ideas for bad weather are gathered in rainy day attractions, and the full list for families in the city in attractions for children.
Is there a play room for young children in Śródmieście, Łódź? Yes, Jupi Park at Silver Screen, with trampolines and a ball pit.
Can you swim with your child at the YMCA? No, the building's former swimming pool is currently closed, only the sports halls are in use.
