Family vacations are meant to create memorable moments, exciting adventures, and unforgettable experiences together with people that are closest and most cherished. Poland fully appreciates and shares that sentiment as a travel destination and is prepared to turn that visit into the best family vacation possible.
A family day trip in Warsaw can sure be a bunch of fun. The range of possible activities is extensive, entertaining, age-appropriate, and even crummy weather will not put a damper on the grand family fun.
You can start your family outing by a morning visit to the Warsaw Zoological Garden. Some of the most worth seeing places in the Garden include the aquarium, the birdhouse, great apes, elephants, rhinoceroses, reptiles, giraffes, lions, a shark, and a hippopotamus. There are regular feeding hours established so that the visitors can observe various animals feed.
Later in the day, the Copernicus Science Centre is a perfect destination for young scientists. This modern and highly interactive educational hub reveals mysteries of science through active participation in experiments and games. Here, kids can learn about space, astronomy, robotics, and even human emotions.

Warsaw's boulevards along the Vistula River embankments are an ideal location for a family stroll. Trendy bars and clubs, charming bistros, and outdoor events attract locals and visitors alike. Another attraction is the sandy river beaches, which are the perfect place to relax. A cruise down the river to see the city from the water is yet another attractive option for the whole family.
