Top 14 things to do and attractions in Gizycko

A nice place to visit if you are in the area. The price is very reasonable at 18 pln = £3.48 but unfortunately there is a lot of renovation work needed in the buildings as well as the grounds. It's a shame the vandals get in and graffiti the place. When we were walking around the grounds there were some information signs in a number of languages including English. The exhibitions in buildings 1,16,19 & 22 were okay, very disappointing though there was no translation to English, even a leaflet would of done.

An impressive (read: large) fortress, with a number of auxiliary exhibits throughout its buildings. Several well-marked trails offer different options to visit - the longest will take several hours. The interior of the area could host other attractions, currently it's mostly a meadow.

Impressive fortress of bastion type, really big. The admission is decent, the longest walk is like 2-3 hours, depends how much interest do you wanna pay to exhibitions and buildings. Downsides: some paths are in bit rougher style of terrain, you go obviously up and down frequently. Exhibitions are not much. Lacking the concept, bits of that and that with little commentary on info tables. Especially the "gunpowder" one. Also it's heavily over grown with trees and bushes, so sheer size and magnificence of the fortress is drown and it resembles more city park than historical landmark.

Interesting place to visit. Quite large, there are many facilities to visit.

This was an impromptu visit at the end of winter in Poland. Will come back in summer. Great place to explore and learn the rich history. You probably need good 4 hours or so to do it. Take your time and explore.

This is an amazing, huge place that is only partly developed. The site is well-organised, and there are 3 different routes to follow, the red route being the most strenuous and interesting. There are plans to develop the site further, including the restoration of some of the buildings and conversion into a hotel. Although parts of the site are not suitable for the less able, there is still a lot that is suitable, and it's well worth the visit. Recommended.

Interesting historical site to visit. There's a detailed sign next to every building to explain the function of each place. There are 3 touristic routes to follow, all of them relatively easy to do. Some of the buildings are pretty much damaged and forgotten, while some others have a nice exhibit.

Lovely looking water tower and nicely renovated. There are a number of floors which have been made into a museum each with some items of the past, it's a bit of a mishmash to be honest. At the top there is a cafe with good views of the surrounding area.

Very nice place to view city panorama and lake. On the top floor there are sky terrace where you can buy cup of coffee or cake. Nice views!!! Ticket costs 12PLN for adults.

So interesting to see all the history for the local area. Beautiful view at the top and very nice coffee and ice creams. The Rose latte is particularly tasty

Good experience The floors is small But in the last floor cafe with good price avere nice view I recommend

Good place for a visit. Use the stairs and visit the small museum. The terrace and the view are worth to see and have a coffee there.

At the top is cafe, where you can enjoy city panorama. And a few floors are museum style.

A very good viewpoint, art exhibition, museum and cafe on top included

Good

(Translated by Google) Nice place. You can have a little fun with the camera 😃 it's hard with a phone, but it's also possible. Fun (Original) Miejsce fajne. Można trochę się pobawić z aparatem😃 telefonem ciężko ale też się da. Fajna zabawa

(Translated by Google) Interesting place, although after the comments I expected something more. PLN 69 (family ticket) is too much in my opinion, considering that after half an hour it was already boring and we decided to leave. 3 stars because my daughter had fun for a while. (Original) Ciekawe miejsce, chociaż po komentarzach oczekiwałem chyba czegoś więcej. 69pln(bilet rodzinny) to w mojej ocenie to zbyt wiele, biorąc pod uwagę ze po pół godziny już było nudno i postanowiliśmy wyjść. 3 gwiazdki ponieważ córka przez chwile miała radochę.

(Translated by Google) It's worth the trip. Especially with children. I paid PLN 150 for 3 adults and 4 children. Approximately 1 hour - 1.5 hour of sightseeing. Free photo at the end of your stay. (Original) Warto zajść. Szczególnie z dziećmi. Za 3 os dorosłe i 4 dzieci zapłaciłem 150zl. Ok 1h - 1.5h zwiedzania. Zdjęcie gratis na koniec pobytu.

(Translated by Google) Fun for kids. Possibility to print your own photos on site. (Original) Fajna zabawa dla dzieci. Możliwość wydrukowania własnych zdjęć na miejscu .

(Translated by Google) A great place where you can let your imagination run wild and the effect will be visible in the photos. A must-see in Giżycko. Very friendly and helpful staff. We recommend (Original) Świetne miejsce, gdzie można puścić wodze wyobraźni ,a efekt będzie widoczny na zdjęciach. Obowiązkowy punkt do zobaczenia w Giżycku. Obsługa bardzo sympatyczna, służąca pomocą. Polecamy

(Translated by Google) The price for a family of 2+2 is almost PLN 90 for taking some photos, not worth the price. Especially since you need to relax a little and use your imagination to take these photos, and you can't because apart from the "ticket agent", his friends are sitting there, staring and making the fun much harder. (Original) Cena za rodzinę 2+2 prawie 90 zł, za zrobienie trochę zdjęć, nie warte swojej ceny. Zwłaszcza, że do tych zdjęć trzeba trochę się rozluźnić i wytężyć wyobraźnie, a nie można bo oprócz "biletera" siedzą jego znajomi, gapią się i zdecydowanie utrudniają zabawę.

Nice park. Easy access. Slight problem with parking. Your best shot is on the way in there is a car park on your left. Other than that need to park along the road.

Well maintained park. Professional, efficient and very friendly staff. There are activities for all ages, from toddler till old. The prizes are fair. 20 pl for a 70 minutes pass in the circuit for ~10 years old. 20 pl for the toddlers challenge, which is amazing. 30 pl for the hardest challenge, which includes two zippers across the lake.

The kids enjoyed it, but the while affair was delayed because younger kids were allowed to use the difficult level. They either panicked or needed a lot of coaxing to continue. These kids shouldn't have been allowed period.

Got turned away because apparently nobody speaks English or German and children need to be instructed constantly, although the children which were already there climbed unsupervised. Unless you speak polish you might get turned away.

Good spot for kids of all ages and adults if your not scared of heights 😁

Good place for spend a time with kids, however be aware that sometimes they doesn't have an instruction in English so you won't be able to participate at this case.

super 😃

Fun and nice place! Highly recommend 👌very helpful staff

Very nice place and active fun we just came across! Water park is big enough for you to explore in 30 min window. (Be aware of starting times 2x per hour at 00 and 30 ) You can pay by credit card if wanted. Small bar next to the ticket office provides enough options to survive the afternoon

Very nice place and friendly staff, I recommend!

Very nice place to for chilling and perfect place for water activities. Olivia, local instructor Was great, she was kind, paishant and spoked perfect English.

Mega!!!

Super

We had so much fun at the water park. The instructors are so very friendly and helpful. 100% recommend the wakeboarding and the water obstacle course (even for adults). Shout-out to Innga and Partek who helped us learn how to wakeboard! Must visit when in Gizycko.

(Translated by Google) Nice place to spend time. Nice service. Mental gymnastics. I recommend. We chose the easiest room, but without the staff's advice, we would have spent years in this room....😁 (Original) Fajna miejscowka na spedzenie czasu.mila obsluga.gimnastyka umyslowa.polecam.wybralismy najlatwiejszy pokoj,ale bez podpowiedzi obslugi spedzilibysmy w tym pokoju lata....😁

(Translated by Google) We were in the "Treasure Island" room. Simple room. The puzzles for those who have been to other rooms will be quite disappointing. But it's ok for beginners. The atmosphere of the room is nice, it's a pity that the master didn't enter the room so that you could get a feel for the atmosphere before entering. The room is for an hour, but you can get there in as little as 20 minutes. It took us half an hour, but we weren't in a hurry. I recommend it, but only to those who have not been to Tortuga rooms, location, etc. and to beginners - especially since the price is low (Original) Byliśmy w pokoju "Wyspa skarbów". Pokój prosty. Zagadki dla tych, co byli w innych pokojach wręcz będą rozczarowywać. Ale dla początkujących jest ok. Klimat pokoju fajny, szkoda że mistrz pokoju nie wprowadził do niego tak, by załapać atmosferę jeszcze przed wejściem. Pokój na godzinę, ale można uwinąć się nawet w 20 minut. Nam zajęło to pół godziny, ale też nie spieszyliśmy się zbytnio. Polecam, jdnak tylko tym, którzy nie było w pokojach takich jak tortuga, lokalizacja itp. oraz początkującym - szczególnie, że cena jest niska

(Translated by Google) Nice place, probably a bit underrated because there are a lot of free places when booking. We used the Treasure Island room, interesting puzzles, medium-easy level. You can see that it was a bit budget-friendly, one of the puzzles got stuck and the staff needed help. Unlocked rooms provide a sense of security but eliminate the thrill. Overall, it was a nice little hour spent with the family. (Original) Fajne miejsce, trochę chyba niedoceniane bo sporo wolnych miejsc przy rezerwacji. Skorzystaliśmy z pokoju Wyspa skarbów, zagadki ciekawe, poziom średnio-łatwy. Widać że trochę budżetowo, jedna z zagadek się zacięła, potrzebna była pomoc obsługi. Pokoje nie zamykane zapewniają poczucie bezpieczeństwa ale eliminują dreszczyk emocji. Ogólnie fajna spędzona niecała godzina z rodziną.

(Translated by Google) The rating of an escape room depends on experience and advancement. My boyfriend and I have more than 10 rooms under our belt, so our expectations were also higher. We visited two rooms in one go (Wonderland and Mindhunter), it took us less than 1.5 hours. 3-4 ideas for puzzles were great and we had not encountered anything like that before, e.g. the sense of smell or mini golf. However, the rest of the puzzles were easy, most of them were padlocks with codes that were visible at first glance. The rooms show a low finishing budget, design shortcomings and little variety. In one of the rooms, the first puzzle had already been solved by the previous group and was not changed to a new one, another one was stuck. Another minus is the lack of story, we enter the escape room to find a box with candy - a bit weak. It is better not to mention the toilets for escape room customers, it is better to use the toilet. Despite the above-mentioned disadvantages, for this price there is no disappointment, perhaps one day the standard will increase and we will be happy to return there :) (Original) Ocena escape roomu zależy od doświadczenia i zaawansowania. Razem z chłopakiem na swoim koncie mamy powyżej 10 pokoi, więc oczekiwania też były większe. Za jednym razem zaliczyliśmy dwa pokoje (w krainie czarów i łowca umysłów), zajęło nam to mniej niż 1,5h. 3-4 pomysły na zagadki były świetne i wcześniej się z czymś takim nie spotkaliśmy, np. zmysł węchu czy minigolf. Jednak reszta zagadek była na łatwiznę, w większości były to kłódki na kody, które były widoczne na pierwszy rzut oka. W pokojach widać niski budżet na wykończenie, niedociągnięcia w wystroju i mało urozmaicenia. W jednym z pokoi pierwsza zagadka była już rozwiązana przez poprzednią grupę i nie została zmieniona na nową, inna się zacinała. Na minus również brak historii, wchodzimy do escape roomu po to aby znaleźć pudełko z cukierkami - trochę słabe. O toaletach dla klientów pokoje zagadek lepiej nie wspominać, lepiej skorzystać z toitoi’a. Pomimo wymienionych minusów za taką cenę nie ma rozczarowania, być może kiedyś standard się podniesie i chętnie tam wrócimy :)

(Translated by Google) Great fun for the whole family, a nice gentleman first explained the rules to us and then locked us in the "lost treasure" room. It was so much fun that the time passed quickly. The children, aged 7, my son and my 9-year-old daughter, almost solved the puzzles and the codes for the padlocks, all the mechanisms and puzzles work. We managed to finish ahead of time, there is radio communication and you can ask for a hint in the form of another riddle leading to a given problem. Energized by this challenge, we immediately booked a second room. We did it because we only had to wait an hour for the more difficult room about "Alice in Wonderland." Before we started, we asked for no hints, but it turned out that the tasks were more complex and you wrote us the answer twice on the timer screen. To sum up, it's a nice place to have fun with children, the staff is nice and friendly. I recommend it without hesitation (Original) Super zabawa dla całej rodziny, sympatyczny pan najpierw wyjaśnił nam zasady poczym zamknął nas w pokoju "zaginiony skarb" było tak fajnie że czas nam szybko zleciał dzieci w wieku 7 lat syn oraz 9 córka prawie sami rozwiązywali zagadki oraz kody do kłódek, wszystkie mechanizmy i zagadki sprawne. Udało się nam skończyć przed czasem, jest łączność przez radio i można prosić o podpowiedź w formie kolejnej zagadki naprowadzajacej na dany problem. Pobudzeni tym wyzwaniem od razu zarezerwowaliśmy drugi pokój. Udało się nam bo tylko godzinkę czekalismy na trudniejszy pokój o "Alicji z krainy czarów." Przed rozpoczęciem poprosilismy o brak podpowiedzi ale okazalo się że zadania były bardziej złożone i dwukrotnie pan napisał nam odpowiedz na ekranie z licznikiem czasu. Reasumując fajne miejsce do wspólnej zabawy z dziećmi obsługa miła i życzliwa. Polecam bez wachania

(Translated by Google) We were in the Wonderland room. The room was very interesting. There were a few really interesting puzzles that surprised me positively. The decor was atmospheric, nothing was stuck. The puzzles were engaging and required some thought. Unfortunately, I have to complain a bit about the service, but I attribute the minor shortcomings to the fact that we used the room out of season. It was difficult to call to arrange a visit. The employee also did not say much about the room: the purpose of the task, etc. If one of the participants has a birthday, it is worth consulting in advance, because you can surprise that person. (Original) Byliśmy w pokoju Kraina Czarów. Pokój bardzo ciekawy. Było kilka naprawdę interesujących zagadek, które mnie pozytywnie zaskoczyły. Wystrój klimatyczny, nic się nie zacinało. Zagadki wciągające, wymagające trochę pomyślunku. Niestety muszę troszeczkę pomarudzić na obsługę, ale drobne niedociągnięcia tłumaczę tym, że z pokoju korzystaliśmy poza sezonem. Trudno było dodzwonić się aby umówić przyjście. Pracownik również mało opowiedział o pokoju: o celu zadania itd. Jeżeli któreś z uczestników ma urodziny warto wcześniej skonsultować się, gdyż można zrobić tej osobie niespodziankę.

(Translated by Google) We booked a room on 02/01 When we got there, we found the door closed. We called the number provided on the website. Initially, no one answered. After trying again, the man answered and informed us that he had only just now seen the reservations and could be there in 40 minutes. (Original) Zarezerwowaliśmy pokój 02.01 Po dotarciu na miejsce zastaliśmy zamknięte drzwi. Zadzwoniliśmy na numer podany na stronie początkowo nikt nie odebrał po ponownej próbie odebrał Pan i poinformował nas, że dopiero teraz zobaczył rezerwacje i może być na miejscu za 40 minut .

Nice view.

Nice view. You can make grill here.

Nice view

Ok

(Translated by Google) A great viewpoint, especially from the new tower right next door. The area is well-kept, shelters and a place for a bonfire right next door. Down below you can see the new railway tracks. The place has the character of a place of worship rather than a historical attraction. (Original) Świetny punkt widokowy szczególnie z nowej wieży tuż obok. Teren zadbany, wiaty i miejsce na ognisko tuż obok. W dole widać nowe tory kolejowe. Miejsce ma charakter bardziej miejsca kultu niż atrakcji historycznej.

(Translated by Google) The observation tower offers an unforgettable view of the beautiful Niegocin Lake and Giżycko and its architecture. A perfect place for a picnic and a Sunday barbecue with the family, and in winter for ice skating madness. (Original) Z wieży widokowej rozpościera się niezapomniany widok pięknego jeziora Niegocin oraz leżącego przy nim Giżycka wraz z jego architekturą. Miejsce idealne na piknik i niedzielny wypad z rodziną na grilla, a zimą na szaleństwo ślizgawkowe.

(Translated by Google) The cross for Bishop Bruno, who tried to spread Christianity and was beheaded.. although the exact place is not clear... elsewhere it is said that it happened near Kudirka Naumieštis.. there is also an observation tower on the sides (Original) Kryžius vyskupui Brunonui,kuris bandė skleist krikščionybę ir buvo nukirsdintas..nors,tiksli vieta nėra aiški...kitur sako,kad,tai įvyko prie Kudirkos Naumiesčio..šalimais dar yra apžvalgos bokštas

(Translated by Google) Three fantastic young people who share their substantive and practical knowledge during classes in a very accessible way. When you decide to take part in a windsurfing camp in Borów, you can be sure that your child is under professional care and will spend time actively in nice company, regardless of the weather. Every minute of the five-day stay is filled with smiles, fun and learning😊 My daughters have been rushing off to their next camp since Monday, and this is probably the best advertisement 😉 I heartily recommend it! (Original) Fantastyczna trójka młodych ludzi, która w trakcie zajęć w bardzo przystępny sposób dzieli się swoją merytoryczną jak i praktyczną wiedzą. Decydując się na półkolonie windsurfingowe na Borowie masz pewność, ze Twoje dziecko jest pod fachową opieką, spędzi czas w sposób czynny w miłym towarzystwie bez względu na pogodę. Każda minuta pięciodniowego turnusu jest wypełniona uśmiechem, zabawą oraz nauką😊 Moje córki od poniedziałku śmigają na kolejny turnus, a to jest chyba najlepsza reklama😉 Polecam serdecznie !

(Translated by Google) I highly recommend it. Mateusz is a very nice and specific person. He was explaining and giving suggestions all the time, even in the middle of the lake while sailing by on a boat. I think I really learned a lot from the lesson. (Original) Polecam gorąco. Mateusz bardzo miły a zarazem konkretny człowiek. Przez cały czas wyjaśniał i podpowiadał, nawet na środku jeziora płynąc obok na łódce. Myślę, że naprawdę sporo wyniosłem z lekcji.

(Translated by Google) There is no one there, this "school" operated last year. (Original) Nikogo tam nie ma ta "szkoła" funkcjonowała w ubiegłym roku .

(Translated by Google) The instructors slowly explain everything, praise your progress and create a warm atmosphere 😊 (Original) Instruktorzy wszystko powoli wyjaśniają, chwalą za postępy i tworzą ciepłą atmosferę 😊

(Translated by Google) Everything is great, you can't complain about boredom. (Original) Wszystko super, nie mozna narzekać na nudę.

Didn’t realise that this was a petting zoo and also thought it would have mostly animals endemic to the area. Overall a disconcerting experience. Just don’t think many parents realise petting zoos can often cause significant fear and suffering for animals as they cannot readily retreat and are handled more than they can tolerate. Children were at times left unsupervised to chase and handle animals. In my opinion some animals weren’t being offered basic freedom from fear and distress and freedom to express their normal natural behaviours. While the enclosures were clean they were bare and contained no enrichment. A lack of enrichment, absent bedding, small enclosures and no place to retreat and hide meant that many of the non- domesticated animals couldn’t express normal natural behaviours. Some of the many examples; the kangaroo enclosure had a bare dirt floor and a kennel and that was all. Same was true for some of the burrowing animals who had bare wooden floors with no enrichment. Many of the enclosures the substrate was bare earth and none or minimal bedding/nesting material appeared to be on offer to the animals. Wouldn’t have come here had I known.

Plenty of animals and kids get to be interactive with them. Pony rides too. One disadvantage is the lack of toilets.

Lovely small zoo. You can feed all the birds and animals.

Super 👍👍👍🤣

(Translated by Google) Our visit to the Masurian Mini Zoo was a wonderful respite for us. ❤️ The kids were thrilled, and so were the adults. ☺️ You can feed some of the animals, and you can even go inside their cages, which is a wonderful experience for the youngest visitors. ❤️ Price: 40 PLN for adults, 20 PLN for children under 3. Children under 1 are free. (Original) Pobyt w Mazurskim Mini Zoo był dla nas wspaniałym odpoczynkiem ❤️ Dzieci zadowolone, dorośli tak samo ☺️ Część zwierząt można karmić, można również wchodzić do klatek, co jest wspaniałym przeżyciem dla najmłodszych zwiedzających ❤️ Cena 40 zł dorośli, 20 zł dzieci poniżej 3 lat. Poniżej roczku bezpłatnie

(Translated by Google) A great place to show your little ones what animals look like in real life. Quite a lot of specimens. Possibility of pony rides. Quite close to Giżycko. The only drawback is that some of the animals did not look completely healthy but they may have been undergoing health treatment. I am not a vet. (Original) Fajne miejsce do pokazania maluchom jak wyglądają zwierzęta na żywo. Dosyć dużo okazów. Możliwość przejażdżki na kucyku. Dosyć blisko od Giżycka. Jedyny mankament, niektóre zwierzaki nie wyglądały na pełni zdrowe ale być może były w okresie kuracji zdrowotnej. Nie jestem weterynarzem.

(Translated by Google) It's a place worth visiting. It might seem small, but there are actually quite a few animals (which doesn't mean they're crowded). You can enter many of the aviaries and pet the animals (be careful of the goats; they have no restraint when it comes to food, nor scruples about getting you ;) ). We visited in July 2025, and we paid 20 złoty for a small child up to 3 years old, and 40 złoty for older children (9 years old) and adults. The tickets are well worth the price. You can get up close and personal with both native animals (e.g., "pedigree" chickens, rabbits, and turkeys) and foreign ones (e.g., meerkats, camels, zebras, and emus). I think the biggest advantage is the opportunity to pet many of the animals, which isn't often possible. The children were happy, and so were the adults :) You can easily walk the entire area with a stroller (as long as the goats, who are allowed to run free, don't get interested in its contents ;) ). Of the minuses - there is no toilet available on site. (Original) Miejsce warte odwiedzenia. Wydawałoby się, że to nieduża przestrzeń, a jednak zwierząt jest sporo (co nie oznacza, że są stłoczone). Do wielu wolier można wejść i pogłaskać zwierzęta (uwaga na kozy, nie mają umiaru w jedzeniu, ani skrupułów by je zdobyć ;) ). Byłyśmy w 07 2025, za małe dziecko do 3 lat placilysmy 20zl, za starsze (9 lat) oraz dorosłych po 40zl. Bilety warte swojej ceny. Można z bliska poznać zarówno rodzime zwierzęta (np. kury "rasowe", króliki czy indyki), jak i zagraniczne(np. surykatkę, wielbłąda, zebrę czy emu). Myślę, że największą zaletą jest możliwość głaskania wielu zwierząt, co nie jest tak często możliwe. Dzieci były zadowolone, dorośli również :) Da się spokojnie przejść całość z wózkiem (o ile kozy, które mogą biegać swobodnie nie zainteresują się jego zawartością ;) ). Z minusów - na miejscu nie ma dostępnej toalety.
