The Copernicus Science Center is not just a place of science - it's a space where families can explore together, experiment and create unforgettable memories. It's the perfect place to start a fascinating adventure in science that can ignite a lifelong passion in children.

Our journey through the world of science now takes us to two unique places: The Mill of Knowledge Modernity Center in Torun and Hydropolis in Wroclaw. Each offers unique educational experiences that will delight children and adults alike.

The Młyn Wiedzy Modernity Center, located at 5 Władysława Łokietka Street in Toruń, is a real gem on the map of Polish science centers. Located in a revitalized grain mill, the center delights not only with its architecture, but above all with its rich educational offer.

The Knowledge Mill offers five floors of fascinating exhibitions, each devoted to a different field of science. From physics and astronomy to biology and ecology, there is something for everyone. Particularly popular is the interactive 'River' exhibition, where children can experiment with the flow of water and learn about the principles of hydrodynamics.

The center is open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and on weekends from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tickets can be purchased on site or online, and are reasonably priced - about $18 per adult and $13 per child. It is worth remembering that there may be more visitors on weekends, so if possible, it is better to plan a visit during the week.

For families with young children, there is a special toddler zone, where the little ones can safely explore and play. The center also offers workshops and scientific demonstrations, which are a great addition to the tour.

Moving to the west of Poland, discover Hydropolis - a unique water knowledge center located at 17 Na Grobli Street in Wroclaw. This is a place that tells the story of water and its importance for life on Earth in a fascinating way.

Hydropolis is housed in a historic underground reservoir of pure water dating back to 1893, which is already an extraordinary experience in itself. The exhibition is divided into 8 thematic zones, which interactively present different aspects of water - from the oceans to the human body.

The center is open daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, except Mondays. Tickets cost about $27 for adults and $20 for children, with discounts available for families. It's worth considering buying a combination ticket with the Wroclaw zoo, which will save on both attractions.

At Hydropolis, we especially recommend the relaxation zone with a large aquarium and the ecology zone, where children can learn how to save water. For the youngest, there are special interactive stations tailored to their height and abilities.

Both the Knowledge Mill and Hydropolis offer clean restrooms, rest areas and the opportunity to eat on site. You can spend between 2 and 4 hours at both centers, depending on your interests and pace of the tour.

Keep in mind that at both sites, some exhibits may sometimes be off-limits due to maintenance, but there are always plenty of other attractions to explore. It's a good idea to check the news on the centers' websites before your visit to stay up to date on any changes in exhibits or opening hours.

These two science centers are not just places of education, but real adventures for the whole family. They offer unique insights into the world of science, encouraging experimentation and questioning - key skills for any young scientist.

At the end of our scientific journey, we move to Lodz, where the EC1 Planetarium invites us on a fascinating journey through the cosmos. This is a place that will spark the imagination of every little astronomer and delight adult star lovers.

The EC1 Planetarium, located at 1/3 Targowa Street in Lodz, is part of the larger complex EC1 Lodz - City of Culture. It is one of the most modern planetariums in Europe, equipped with an advanced projection system that allows the display of images of extraordinary quality on a 14-meter dome.

The planetarium offers a variety of shows tailored to different age groups. For the youngest there are special educational screenings, which present the mysteries of the cosmos in an accessible way. Older children and adults can choose from more advanced shows that take viewers on a journey through galaxies, black holes and distant corners of the universe.

Shows are held daily, and their schedule is available on the planetarium's website. Tickets are best purchased online, avoiding possible queues. Ticket prices range from 18 to 23 zlotys, depending on the type of show and day of the week. Attractive ticket packages are available for families.

Before or after the screening, it is worth visiting the interactive exhibition 'Man in Space', which is located in the same building. This exhibition presents the history of space conquest and allows you to feel like a real astronaut.

The EC1 Planetarium is handicapped-accessible, and the building has facilities such as elevators and wide walkways. For the comfort of visitors, there are cafes and restaurants nearby where they can relax and have a meal before or after the screening.

A visit to the planetarium is not only educational, but also an unforgettable experience for the whole family. Stunning shows under the starry sky awaken curiosity about the world and inspire further exploration of the mysteries of the universe.

When planning a visit, it is worth remembering that the screenings usually last about 45 minutes. For the full experience, it is recommended to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of the show. The planetarium is pleasantly cool, so it's a good idea to bring a light sweatshirt or sweater.

The EC1 Planetarium, along with the previously discussed science centers, forms a remarkable network of places where science becomes a fascinating adventure. These institutions not only educate, but also inspire, ignite passions and show that science can be exciting for people of all ages.

By visiting these places, we invest in the development of our children, but also in the quality of the time we spend together. It is here, among interactive exhibitions, experiments and demonstrations, that new interests are born and future careers as scientists, engineers and explorers are shaped.

Let's remember that every visit to a science center or planetarium is a step toward a better understanding of the world around us. It's an investment in education that pays dividends not only in knowledge, but also in great memories and strengthened family ties. We encourage all families to embark on this fascinating journey through the world of science - an adventure that can last a lifetime.
