ILLUSION PARK ZAKOPANE
Illusion Park Zakopane is a concept often found in larger cities or tourist locations. A great idea for worse weather or a break after skiing on the slopes.
This one in Zakopane is interestingly executed, with many wall displays upstairs allowing for crazy photos (flying on a board, being eaten by a bear, etc.).
There is also a fascinating room, thanks to mirrors and LED construction, that creates the illusion of being in an endless space. You will also see a lightning show that gives a rock concert.
In the facility, you must move around in socks.
REGULAR TICKET: 35 PLN
REDUCED TICKET: 30 PLN
