The Warta Mouth National Park is a winter paradise for families with children. Wide meadows, wetlands and lookout towers invite for winter walks, during which the youngest can observe birds and discover the charms of nature. Special educational boards and nature workshops await children to learn the secrets of animals and plants in an accessible form. An additional attraction is a class on how to recognise animal tracks in the snow - real fun for little explorers! Near the park, agritourism farms offer family sleigh rides, sledging and tastings of local delicacies to warm up after winter adventures.

Also worth a visit is the Nature Education Centre, where interactive exhibitions tell the story of the region's fauna and flora in a way that is attractive to children.

Muskauer Arch Geopark is the perfect place for small explorers curious about the world. This unique UNESCO-listed landscape is enchanting in winter - the contrasts between the snow and the colourful bodies of water impress the whole family. Walking along the educational paths, children can learn how the ice sheet changed the world thousands of years ago, and interactive geological workshops turn learning into fun. The geopark also organises field games that involve the whole family in discovering nature's secrets.

Zielona Góra, the largest city in the Lubuskie Voivodeship, is the perfect place for a family holiday full of fun and interesting discoveries.

The sightseeing should start from the historic Old Town, where children can discover the Bachusik Trail - dozens of funny figurines scattered all over the city. Playing in their search is a great way to actively learn about the city and its history. It's also worth taking a walk along the promenade, where the winter illuminations and festive atmosphere create a magical atmosphere.

A must-see is the Palm House, located at the top of the Winny Hill. Inside, even in winter, there is a tropical atmosphere that transports children to an exotic world. See one of the tallest palm trees in Poland and relax with a hot chocolate surrounded by lush vegetation. Outside, children can play in the playground or explore the plant maze, while parents enjoy the view of the city skyline.

Another place the little ones will love is the Zielona Góra Botanical Garden. Walking through the garden, children can see suricates, kangaroos and other animals running around freely in the minizoo. In winter, the garden acquires a special charm and is the ideal place for a quiet family walk.

Young science enthusiasts must not miss a visit to the modern Venus Planetarium, where interactive shows and visualisations introduce children to the mysteries of the cosmos in an accessible way. A great attraction for little naturalists will be the Nature Centre, which delights with interactive exhibitions and engaging workshops.

The new ice rink on Bohaterów Westerplatte Square is a great place for family ice-skating. Located in the heart of the city, surrounded by historic buildings and lights, it offers a unique atmosphere that both children and adults will enjoy. A winter market is periodically held right next door, selling local delicacies and handicrafts.

Międzyrzecze and its surroundings is a place where history, adventure and family fun meet in perfect proportions.

Our first proposal for the Lubuskie 2026 holidays is the Międzyrzecze Fortified Region (MRU), a fascinating network of underground tunnels dating back to the First World War. Underground trails of varying degrees of difficulty are also suitable for younger explorers, and guides can interest children with stories about the mysteries of the fortifications and their inhabitants - bats, which find shelter here in winter.

Surrounded by picturesque landscapes, the Miedzyrzecz Castle is another must-see on the map of family attractions in the region. It is open Tuesday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Guides show families around the castle walls, towers and courtyard, spinning interesting tales about life in the old days. During the museum lessons, children can learn about the secrets of baking and gingerbread making in Międzyrzecz, as well as learn about the tools used to process flax and wool.

The year-round Majaland Kownaty amusement park is open from Thursday to Sunday from 10:00am to 5:00pm and 10:18:00am (weekend). The park offers plenty of attractions for children of all ages, including indoor carousels, slides and interactive playgrounds. During the holidays, there are extra activities and encounters with children's favourite fairy tale characters, such as the Maya Show, a confetti party and a photo opportunity with their favourite character. For older children there are dynamic attractions such as the Butterfly Carousel or the amazing Viking Boat under the roof.
