Attractions in Wroclaw: Hydropolis – knowledge center about water

Great destination in Wroclaw for adults and children, especially for a bad weather day in Wroclaw – when it’s raining or it’s too cold or too hot to stay outside. You can learn about water from different perspectives – the evolution of life in water, water animals camouflage techniques, deep sea creatures, the bathyscaphe, the states of water, water engineering. The Hydropolis Center was opened in 2015 – it’s very modern, full of multimedia technologies, installations, touch screens etc. Hydropolis includes interactive installations dedicated to kids as well as a relaxation zone – a room with deckchairs and jungle sounds, designed as a garden.
