In Stary Widzew, a family with a child can choose from three different types of fun: jumping on trampolines, contact with animals, and swimming in summer. All three places lie on Piłsudskiego Avenue or in its immediate vicinity.
Where to play with a child in Stary Widzew when it rains?
SALTOS on Wydawnicza Street is a trampoline park covering over 1000 square meters, with a foam pit and an obstacle course, open year-round regardless of the weather. Papugarnia Papupapi on Piłsudskiego 158a works just as well, where children can watch parrots and other exotic birds up close, while parents can sit down for coffee in the same room. The parrot house also organizes birthday parties for children - it is worth confirming details and age limits by phone before booking.
And in summer, outdoors?
Seasonally, Basen MOSiR Anilana operates on Sobolowa Street, with a 50-by-25-meter sports pool, a recreational pool of about 500 square meters and a separate paddling pool for the youngest, so it works both for learning to swim and for a whole day of family relaxation. The complex is run by the municipal sports and recreation center, and its history goes back to the early 1960s, when the grounds on Sobolowa Street were taken over by a sports club affiliated with the former Anilana synthetic fiber works.
