Scandinavia Resort

If you’re keen to see more of the local sights, set off for the Prince's Castle in Zator (five minutes’ drive) or head south to walk along the pretty pathways of John Paul II's Garden (20 minutes) – there are some fine views over Romerów Palace to be had from here too if you climb up the lookout tower. They’re proud of their links to the former pontiff around here, and if you’d like to pay your respects too you can take a trip to the Family House of the Holy Father John Paul II in Wadowice (20 minutes), which has been turned into a museum housing photos and other memorabilia. For further insights into local life and heritage, stop by at the open-air museum in Wygiełzów (15 minutes) or buzz your way around Apilandia (25 minutes), a beekeeping museum with hands-on features like candle-making and honey tastings. Once the kids have done their history homework, treat them to outings to Energylandia or Zatorland amusement parks (both five minutes away) or head over to meet the cute critters at AgroKucyk MiniZoo (25 minutes).
