We invite you to visit the Good Thoughts Station for children and young people attending Primary Schools!
It's a place filled with teddy bears and dolls. The owner of all the teddy bears is Bruno Zielonka, who has already collected over 11,000 of them at the moment. There are about 3,000 bears on display.
In addition to these typical bears, known to children and young people today, there are also those with history, stuffed with tow, sawdust, straw or sponge.
In addition, you can see items that show the teddy bear, such as Christmas tree baubles, stamps, phone cards, mugs, plates or plates. Did you know that at the exhibition you will see bears that are made of stone, glass, paper, wood or carbon?
The dolls come from several collections (Ewa and Jagoda Liszka, Anita Michałowska, Fryderyk Różański), and each of them is unique and unrepeatable. It is worth mentioning that the collection of Bruno Zielonek's bears and the collection of dolls by Anita Michałowska and Ewa Liszka are entered in the Polish Book of Records and Singularities.
During the tour, we familiarize the participants with where the cuddly bear came from, in the form we know today, and we inform them when its holiday falls. We talk about what environment bears come from, what is interesting about them and how many species live in the world.
We encourage you to take part in the competition for mini pictures with a bear - our goal is to enter the Guinness Book of Records.
This place is surprising, unusual, deep in the heart and moving a note of nostalgia. This is also noticed by others. I am a proud holder of the Diploma of the Marshal of the Silesian Voivodeship for Merits for the Development of Tourism in 2024.
The Station of Good Thoughts is made for everyone. Everyone from 1 to 101 years old will find something for themselves. That's why I often say: "Let's teach children to love bears so that they can love people in the future."
