Rozrywka: Stare Polesie

Stare Polesie is a district where entertainment centres on two large shopping malls on Aleja Politechniki and Jana Pawła II, plus one of the city's bigger dance clubs. This page gathers what you can actually do here on an evening or a rainy afternoon.

Bowling, billiards and cinema in Nowa Sukcesja

In the Nowa Sukcesja mall, reopened after renovation, you'll find the Helios cinema and the Hopa Lupa play zone for kids. In the same building, at Al. Politechniki 1, is Kręgielnia Król Kul - 24 lanes, two billiard tables, arcade machines and a VR simulator, with a bar serving pizza.

A dance club and a second shopping centre

Ambasada Club on the corner of Zielona and Kościuszki is one of the bigger nightclubs in Łódź, with two dance halls and four bars, holding around 2,000 people - an option for a night out, not a family afternoon. For shopping and light entertainment there's Pasaż Łódzki on Al. Jana Pawła II, a single-level centre with a hypermarket and a large free car park.

What to choose when it rains

All four places are indoors, so they work in any weather. With a child, Nowa Sukcesja with its cinema and play zone works best, while adults are more likely to pick bowling or a night at the club. Similar rainy-day options across the city are gathered under rainy-day attractions, and more entertainment in the region is in the entertainment category.
