Silesian Amusement Park, Amusement park in Chorzów, Poland.
The Silesian Amusement Park sits within the wider Silesian Park in Chorzów and spreads its rides and attractions across open green space, combining fast coasters with gentle family options and splash zones. Pathways and planted areas connect different themed sections, giving visitors room to move between thrill rides and quieter corners designed for younger children.
The site took shape in the late 1950s and became one of Poland's early leisure projects after the Second World War. Over the following decades, new rides arrived gradually, and in 2015 a redesign introduced a thematic focus on regional folklore.
Rides and themed areas draw on characters and motifs from Polish fairy tales and folklore, giving children and families a playful introduction to regional stories. Visitors walk through decorated zones with sculptures and details that recall legendary figures, turning the grounds into a storybook setting.
The grounds open during the warmer months and offer restrooms, food stands, and level paths that accommodate wheelchair users. Arriving early in the day usually means shorter queues at popular rides.
One of the coasters bears the name of a legendary Polish figure and accelerates to speeds that rank among the country's fastest. An older looping ride from the park's early years still stands and attracts visitors who remember previous decades.
