Ideas for activities during the winter break

Winter break is the perfect time to break away from the daily rush and fully enjoy the charms of winter. Regardless of whether you plan active days on the slopes, family walks in snowy parks, or quiet evenings by the fireplace, the right mood (and outfit!) is the key to comfort and pleasure.

In this post, we will tell you how to make the most of your winter break and what activities are worth trying. Get inspired and make these breaks full of joy and fun!

Winter walks

Winter landscapes have their own unique charm. Take a walk in the forest or park to admire nature in its winter coat. It is a great, active way to relax and unwind.

An interesting alternative to regular walks can be spending a winter evening during the holidays in Lumina Park - a network of parks with extraordinary, thematic light illuminations that will delight both children and adults. These unique places are located in several Polish cities and offer unforgettable experiences, combining the beauty of the winter landscape with light installations.

Each park is a completely different, magical land full of light decorations that create a fairy-tale atmosphere. Walking along the illuminated alleys, you can admire huge light sculptures, light tunnels and installations inspired by fairy tales. This is an ideal opportunity to take photos and spend time with your family in an extraordinary atmosphere.

Light parks are most often visited in the evenings, so appropriate clothing is key. Warm clothing is a must-have for this occasion. Ourmerino collection is a great choice for winter days - it is soft, breathable and has exceptional thermoregulation properties.

Lumina parks are located in Wrocław, Poznań, Lublin, Bydgoszcz and Pruszcz Gdański – each of them has its own unique character and theme. It is worth checking the availability of tickets online to avoid queues and plan your visit at a convenient time. Check which park is closest to you!

For sweet

Winter is a great time to discover regional traditions and flavors that envelop you in warmth and the magic of memories. During the holidays, it is worth visiting two extraordinary places on the map of Poland - the Living Gingerbread Museum in Toruń and the Living Museum of the St. Martin's Croissant in Poznań . These are not only tourist attractions, but also interactive spaces that will take you to the world of history and delicious smells.

In the heart of Toruń, a city famous for its gingerbread, there is a place where you can see how these aromatic pastries were baked in the old days. In the Living Gingerbread Museum, you can not only learn about the history of Toruń gingerbread, but also take part in baking workshops under the supervision of a Gingerbread Master. This is a great attraction for both children and adults, combining fun with learning.

Poznań is famous for its St. Martin's croissants, and in the Living Croissant Museum you can discover the secret of their unique taste. This place offers interactive shows, during which participants learn the history of this regional specialty, and also learn how to shape and decorate croissants on their own.

Workshops in museums are very popular, especially in the winter season, so it is worth booking tickets in advance. Both museums are a great choice for a family outing - children will certainly remember this trip for a long time! After the workshops, it is also worth taking a walk through the streets of both cities - woolen gloves and hats will definitely come in handy for a walk around the area.

Science that fascinates and entertains

For science and space enthusiasts, winter break at the Kepler Science Center in Zielona Góra is a great way to spend time. It is a place that combines education with fun, allowing you to discover the secrets of the universe and the natural world.

As part of a special program for the 2025 winter break , the Kepler Science Center has prepared numerous attractions for children, youth and adults. The center offers workshops adapted for people of all ages, during which participants can explore issues related to space, technology and ecology. This is a great opportunity to awaken in children a passion for science and new discoveries.

Planetarium sessions are an unforgettable experience - both visual and educational. Children can take part in fairy-tale shows, while adults can learn more advanced astronomical topics. Interactive exhibitions allow you to experiment, discover the laws of nature and learn the secrets of our world. It's great fun for the whole family!
