View from the top is amazing but be ready for the climb!! The ceilings are low and there are A LOT of steps
St. Nicholas Cathedral is a remarkable piece of history and architecture, standing tall as a symbol of the city's heritage. The cathedral's impressive design and serene ambience make it a must-visit spot for anyone exploring Elblag. In the past, visitors had the unique opportunity to climb the church fower for breathtaking views of the city. Though this is no longer available, the cathedral still offers a deeply enriching experience through its beautiful interiors and tranquil surroundings. Its historical significance and stunning presence remain unforgettable. Highly recommended for history lovers and admirers of sacred architecture.
Nice view from tower of church. Ticket price- 10pln. You have to climb up the spiral stairs to get to the top.
This is a must see, the architecture is one of a kind, if you are able to climb the steps up to the top of the spire, the view is breathtaking. When the bells ring, even at 6.30 in the morning, the sound is so deep and meaningful.
This is really old, 13th-century gothic church, located in the centre of the city market. Damaged several times, especially in the 18th century (fire) and during World War II. Because of the tower, it is one of the highest churches in Poland (about 97 metres). Really great landmark, hard to oversight. Unfortunately, I cannot see anything special in this brick building. It is just an old, high church.
Supreme views from the top but be prepared for a back breaking walk up the windy staircase!
Amazing church. Please visit. It's in the middle of old town so can spend some time with other attractions as well.

Large museum spread across two buildings. Helpful staff and some of the exhibits had English translations. Plenty to see and since effort has been made to use interactive exhibits to engage children (and adults). There's a moderate admission fee and a visit here is likely to take around two to three hours.
The Museum of Archeology and History in Elblag is an absolute treasure! It beautifully showcases the region's rich history and cultural heritage, offering a fascinating journey through time. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, with a perfect balance of artifacts, interactive displays, and detailed explanations. The building itself is stunning, and the atmosphere feels both educational and welcoming. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply curious, this museum is a must-visit. It's a place that leaves you with a deeper appreciation for Elblag's remarkable past. Highly recommended!
The Museum has 2 parts situated in 2 buildings. We are in the part focused on History of Elblag. The exhibitions has several parts - Archeology, time period before WW2 and after WW2.
Great place to visit very well kept.
We enjoyed our visit with our older children. It was wonderful for them to see the different rooms from various decades. We also loved the VR drive through Elbląg Old Town. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in the history of the area, early European history and second world war.
A large museum with a range of archeological artefacts, taking you through the long history of the city
Excellent museum to visit. 3 hours at least!!!
Decent museum with a nice variety of items on display but the main attraction was the Viking long house and the people inside that were sharing what life was in those days. Everything from era appropriate chloathing to weapons and living quarters. Good Sunday visit and great for all ages as there's something to see and to do for everyone. Totally recomand a visit.

Whimsical amusement park offering creative play areas, replicas of global landmarks & a petting zoo.

If your child is bored at home then this is a place you must visit. It will keep your kids up and playing from morning up until evening. As far as I know there is nothing else similar in the close proximity to Elbląg. In summary kids can play and you can have a bit of relax, have a drink or something to eat.
Need to pay for some attractions. Overall, it is still a nice experience for family outing but I could see a lot of improvements that could be done because the land is huge. Happy to go there again.
A little dated in some areas, but lots for kids to do there with boucey blow up areas.
The definition of a tourist trap. Get ready to pay entrance tickets and then pay again for additional attractions like the line park. A lot the rides and attractions have seen better days and look like they haven't been renovated for a while. Most of the attractions are for kids so as a parent you can't join and you spend your time sitting around or eating overpriced food. The "safari" consists of a couple fiber glass animals and the "zoo" is just a bunch of goats. Maybe they also have pigeons. On the plus side the bouncy castles are good and there are plenty of them.
Spent the whole day there with children 2-7 years, everyone loved it!
Mediocre value/price ratio compared to other similar parks in Pomeranian region. One public toilet per entire venue, which was closed mid of day due to failure. On top of what you pay at the entrance you will be asked to pay for some other attractions like boats on the river and park liniowy, which was surprising
The weirdest amusment park I ever seen with an eclectic collection of old facilities(beside the air slides). On the other hand, if you don't have high expectations and just want to let the kids burn some energy before hitting the road on a long journey it does the trick....
All day fun with kids

Nice piece of Elbląg history with a cool view over the old town roofs. There is also tourist information and a souvenir shop inside where you can buy lovely gadgets relating to the city.
Market Gate is the only existing part of the original city wall. The construction began in 1319, it was enlarged to the current height in 1420-1430 and was damaged badly in the World War II. Then it was restored after the war.
The gate tower is free to enter, go up to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of the town and beyond. There's a small tourist information centre within the tower on the first floor.
Lovely original city wall tower in historical Elblag. Located in the historical central area it is worth a visit. There is a statue nearby which is great for pictures.
Nice view for free
Brama Targowa is a fantastic spot to visit, especially during the high season when you can climb the tower! The panoramic views from the top are absolutely stunning, offering a unique perspective of Elblag and its surroundings. The historic charm of the gate adds to its allure, making it a perfect blend of culture and adventure. Whether you're exploring Elbląg for the first time or returning for another visit, Brama Targowa is a must-see landmark that never disappoints. Highly recommended!
Very nice views and lots of fun
