EnergyLandia is one of the most recent theme parks to be built in Europe which is quickly expanding & developing to be a successful amusement park in current times. EnergyLandia can be located in Poland and is found in place called Zator which is in the southern region. This is close by to the well known tourist area of Krakow and is easily reachable by car & other public transport methods.
EnergyLandia opened only 9 years ago in 2014 and since then, it has transformed into the largest theme park in Poland with it being set across 70 hectares including 123 attractions. Outside the attractions, it has 9 performance stages, 28 game stands and yearly events from Christmas to summer parties for all guests to enjoy. It also has a large waterpark on site during the summer months, world class coasters that have won awards and it is only adding more & more to its offering year upon year.
With the slogan of being the greatest theme park in Poland, EnergyLandia is already one of the most searched Google tourist attractions in Europe, coming up 8th in 2021. The park has a lot to show and can take several visits or days to explore everything they would have on offer, which is incredible to see from a park that has only opened 9 years ago!
In our review, we cover how you can get to EnergyLandia from the UK, how much it costs and some of the best coasters, attractions and events to experience to help make your trip to this park even better.
Travel & Costs
Travelling to EnergyLandia is pretty easy with a range of options, depending on how you want your trip to go. As located close by to Krakow, you can fly into Krakow and partner this up with a trip exploring the city. The easiest way to travel is by taxi and the cost to EnergyLandia from the airport does depend on the weather, time of visit and other variable factors. A one way trip from the airport is around £30-£40 which shared across a group is not bad going at all.
Cheaper methods could be using the public transport system, as for 2023 EnergyLandia have now got a train station in Zator which has a limited service right next to the park. Tickets were easy to buy in the train and a single journey cost around £5. The trains runs from Krakow & Katowice and stop in the morning and evening, usually around park opening and park close and they offer a free land train service to take you from the station to the park entrance & back. We hope to see this service be more popular with more times in the near future. Walking isn’t the best option between the station to the park due to no public footpaths.
Tickets to EnergyLandia do vary across the year and they usually offer some kind of tourist discount, so it is always worth looking on their socials & website prior to booking. A standard day ticket works out to be around £33, which is excellent value for money regardless of any discounts. They do have 2 day park ticket promotions and other options listed to. The website can be translated into English very easily and it is always worth booking your tickets direct.
Coasters – Zadra & Hyperion
Moving onto the park itself, EnergyLandia is known for having the most coasters in Europe! Having a staggering 17 rollercoasters within several themed lands, they achieved their goal to be number one. They are soon to reach 19 with 2 new coasters opening very soon so it will be interesting to see how many they will reach in a few more years time.
The two headline coasters at the park are Zadra & Hyperion. Starting with Hyperion, this coaster opened in July 2018 and is an Intamin Hyper coaster. This coaster is Europe’s tallest and fastest hyper coaster in Europe, standing over 250ft tall. It has numerous other bragging points to the ride but ultimately it has breathtaking views, splash effects and speeds over 140km/h.
Next up being Zadra which opened just a year later in 2019, this is a ride constructed by the Rocky Mountain Construction company and actually opened a year earlier than planned, even with part of the coaster being damaged by a storm during construction. This ride has won awards and even has the title of being the biggest wooden coaster in the world! The ride offers a very intense & thrilling experience and gives plenty of fast turns & multiple inversions to provide a world class experience.
Coasters – Abyssus & Aqualantis Area
Moving forwards outside the headline attractions, it is worth highlighting one of the newest areas to EnergyLandia is Aqualantis. This area is based on the water world and all of the attractions all are themed to match. The headline ride in the area is Abyssus, a multi launch coaster created by Vekoma, as you reach speeds of 100km/h with multiple inversions and speedy turns & airtime. It has some great theming which has been added in recent years and is a very popular ride at the park with most guests as it is an enjoyable experience.
They have two other coasters in this area being the Tidal Wave Spinner, a Disk’O Coaster and then Light Explorers which is a family boomerang coaster. Both these rides are perfect for the younger and more moderate thrill seekers compared to the headline attractions and offer plenty of fun for the family.
The area also has 6 other attractions from a slow boat ride to other smaller attractions for the younger audience. It has a main shop, plenty of food & drink outlets and even a diving show outside the main attraction itself during select times. There is so much in this area alone and it has been well received by all those that visit.
The Rest Of The coasters
With another 12 coasters to mention, you can start to see they have a range of different rollercoasters for all of the family. Other note worthy attractions would be Formula, which is a compact launched coaster that opened in 2016 by Vekoma. This is a small but fun coaster and still offers plenty of thrills for all those that ride.
You have the Dragon Coaster which opened in 2015 that is a suspended coaster and also Mayan that opened in 2017 that is also suspended. Both these coasters are completely different experiences, with Mayan being more thrilling and the Dragon Coaster being more family friendly.
There are a range of smaller coasters in the park for the younger audience. Naming a few would be the Circus Coaster, Happy Loops & Frida. All these rides are different, well themed to the areas they are situated in and still draw in a crowd for the family market with younger thrill seekers.
Water Rides & Other Top Attractions
Outside all of the coasters at the park, you cannot forget all of the other rides & attractions they have on offer. Speed is a water rollercoaster ride that mixes a roller coaster with a water ride which will certainly get you wet and is perfect on a hot day. You have a small spinning rapids ride as well as a large rapids ride, a log flume amongst other several smaller water attractions. They have these all covered across the park, so on a hot day you can still enjoy the theme park.
Heading onto some of the more noteworthy attractions that are not coasters, you have a range of flat rides. They have a large ferris wheel, a drop tower and plenty of other fairground style attractions which you would expect to see at a theme park. No attraction is the same and the offering here is endless with each area of the park providing something different but for the whole family and audience attending.

The Waterpark
If EnergyLandia was not already big enough with all of the rides and shows, they have a large 4 part waterpark within the grounds of theme park which is free to enter. The waterpark zone is only open during the warmer weather and is very much based on the time of the year. They have 4 main zones in the waterpark which have pools, slides and over 7000 sunbeds in this area alone!
New for 2022 was Bamboo Bay, which is a slide tower that has 9 individual slides on, with these being duplicated up to 16 slides as they have built everything twice on this water tower. The slides are for more the family market but don’t let this fool you for adults, as it still offers plenty of fun for everyone. With them creating the slides twice and having multiple lanes to slide, we are yet to see this attraction have a queue longer than a few people.
You have the tropical fun zone which is another area with over 7 different slides. From a mat racer, to a drop capsule to your classic tube slides. They have really got everything covered in this section, with some of the slides even coming out in a lazy river to get you back to the tower staircase. This is a very popular part of the waterpark and on hot days, can have some super long queues!
The other two zones include a large pool area with cave elements and another water structure for the younger audience. This meaning EnergyLandia have once again got the whole family covered during the hot summer for all guests to enjoy the waterpark. The area always very clean and it has plenty of food & drink options in alone, meaning you could stay in this area all day if you wanted to and ignore the theme park.
Events & Shows
With a park of this size, they have to have a range of different shows throughout the park to keep guests interested outside of the attractions. There are plenty of smaller shows for the younger audience as well as seasonal shows, but to mention some of our highlights and biggest would be as follows. Extreme is the car stunt show which has some of Poland’s most daring drivers put on a spectacular car show with them drifting and performing awesome stunts. They also have a parade with a range of the characters you can find across the park on, a 7D cinema, a fire show and this is only touching the surface of what they do.
Throughout the year, they do put on different events in the park. Some of the biggest would be the Winter Kingdom season during the winter months. This is where the park is open during the colder months with a more limited lineup with additional winter offering. With that said, they do open up most of the park excluding the water attractions & water park. Another fun event is during the summer months called Magic Nights. You will see the park open for 13 hours on selected dates and they host a large waterpark night party too. This is on top of a night time LED parade and other entertainment across the evening. Although these events can be popular, we have not seen the park too busy and have always enjoyed the rides and additional entertainment till late.
Again, this is only highlighting some of what they put on and it is worth checking the website when arranging your visit as they cover Halloween and other special events throughout the calendar year.
Overall, EnergyLandia is a humongous theme park with so much to see and do throughout the whole year. We have visited multiple times over the years and can never be bored with the offering they have. You will always have your favourite rides and attractions to ride but even if you take this out of the equation, you have so many shows to see, different events to experience and even a waterpark to spend several hours in.
We have so many favourite parts of the park and if that is not enjoying Hyperion & Zadra, it is visiting the park to see all of the different events they have on. Our visit included the Magic Night event, so we got to experience 13 hours in the park, meaning we managed to break our day up in the waterpark, sunbathe, ride many of the rides before partying at night in the waterpark with the DJ.
The park is always looking to expand and with the new Sweet Valley area is set to open in the new area including more new rides, coasters and other elements, it makes every visit refreshing and interesting than the last one had.
A huge thank you to the team at EnergyLandia who worked with us on our most recent visit. They gave us free entry for our 2-day visit to the park as well as some fastrack and other themed goodies. This is in return of our review, but all of our comments are our own and have been based on our most recent visits to the park.
We know that we will return in the near future and would love to know what you are looking forward to experiencing when you go to Energylandia. Let us know over on our socials!
