Kinderplaneta in Lodz

Many years ago (pre-kids) when we visited Lodz we went to the large fancy mall - Manufaktura. I was surprised that I could read almost every sign and advertisement in the mall. American stores filled it and other than the price not being in dollars, it could have been any mall in America.

This time we discovered something new. Ok, it may not be new, but we didn't see it last time. They have a wonderful indoor play place called Kinderplaneta. You can pay by the hour or host birthday parties here. Parents are welcome to go in with their kids, but many seemed just to drop their kids off to go shopping.

There were so many great things to do in this area. We didn't get photos of all of it. The swings, train rides, bumper cars, and air hockey were all popular with long lines.

Two monkeys in a barrel. Our kids loved climbing and exploring the giant play ground.

 

We did go with them in case there was any problem. It's not like they could ask for help in Polish if needed. They only know a few basic phrases and we figured if they got hurt or stuck they would need help.

There was an area with trampolines. They limited it to two kids per trampoline, which worked perfectly for us. They did have someone working this area to enforce rules and keep the kids safe.

 

In theory, there was a time limit on this area, but if there was no line they didn't enforce it. Our kids jumped for much longer than the listed time, but once someone was waiting for a turn we moved to another area.

 

Do you have any idea the number of times we have joked about getting a hamster wheel for our kids to run around in? You know something they could wear themselves out on? Apparently we weren't the only ones with that idea.

They also had small "rides" like this one. The bottom inflated and deflated one side at a time to make it feel like a boat. All of this was included in the admission price. After playing for awhile the kids were hungry and tired. They had things for all ages and I highly suggest checking it out the next time you are in Lodz.

This is not a sponsored endorsement. We went, had fun, and I wanted you to know about it. The people at Kinderplaneta have no clue who I am and I was not given any special price or treatment for sharing my opinion.
