Energylandia’s attractions cater to different age groups. In the Bajkolandia themed zone, children can meet characters from popular fairy tales. The Family Zone has attractions for families; a minimum height of 140 cm applies to some of them. This height requirement is a specific point to bear in mind when planning individual rides. As the offerings may change, check the latest information before your visit.

Dinosaur Park Zator offers a different focus. Its museum displays skeletons and fossils, including fossilised dragonflies, fish and birds, as well as dinosaur bones and unusual rock and mineral specimens. The exhibits therefore focus not only on dinosaurs but also on other finds and collection items. Check the latest visitor information before your trip.

The Children’s Play Zone offers activities for younger visitors to learn about the history of the Earth and dinosaurs. The park’s centre also offers archaeology classes and workshops for young palaeontologists. Check the latest dates for these educational activities in advance; no fixed schedule is provided.

Zator’s historic town plan dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. It includes groups of 19th-century buildings and historic roads. These features reflect different periods: the town plan points to an earlier chapter in the town’s history, while the groups of buildings show a later layer.

The town hall also has a date: it was built in 1903 to a design by the Polish architect Jan Sas Zubrzycki. The building features the relief “Panorama Gminy Zator – Stolica Doliny Karpia”. Together with the town plan, the town hall offers another way to explore the history and design of the town.

The Black Bike Trail connects Zator’s town centre and local railway station with the Trail of the Carp Valley, continuing beyond Zator. The route can therefore be considered both in relation to the town centre and as part of a longer cycling connection. Sections on roads without motorised vehicle traffic account for 64 percent of the Black Bike Trail.

This figure describes part of the route, not the entire trail. If you include it in your plans, check the current conditions on site.

The Zatorski carp is a regional point of reference in the wider area around Zator. Its production area covers a total of 134 km², with most of the production taking place in the municipality of Zator. These figures show both the regional extent of the production area and the concentration of production in the municipality. As a result, regional produce adds another perspective on Zator alongside its leisure and cultural attractions.
