Question: when is the best time to go to Energylandia probably a lot of people ask themselves and there is no reason to be surprised. I don’t think it’s pleasant for anyone to stand in a queue several hundred meters long for 60 minutes for one attraction, with two children, in a 30°C heat and having in the back of their mind that they spent several hundred zlotys and will use maybe 8 attractions during the whole day.
I understand that perfectly. I went to Energylandia for the first time in mid-August. It was midweek, and the forecast showed a cloudless day and temperatures around 32°C. I was at the park when it opened at 10:00 and planned to stay until around 18:00. During this time I only visited 6 attractions and a break for a meal. My first memories were mixed: Energylandia itself made a big impression on me, but the huge crowds and 60-90 minute queues for almost every attraction made me reluctant to visit the park in the future.
It wasn’t until I went to the park in the fall that I appreciated Energylandia and was able to enjoy visiting it and using dozens of attractions in one day. So you ask: what months are best to go to Energylandia?
The golden rule of visiting Energylandia
I have one main rule – you want go to Energylandia once a year? Go any day, just not during the holidays!
And this is the truth. The greatest siege of the park begins around the end of the school year and lasts until mid-September. Every warm and sunny day in July and August is the worst possible day to go to the amusement park in Zator.
Energylandia in spring?
If you go to Energylandia once a year, then really plan this trip in May or early June. If it is to be May, the day does not make much difference. There are usually more people on weekends, but not enough to queue. From the end of May to the beginning of June, many school trips from all over Poland come to the park. They visit the park during the week and I have the impression that they create more commotion and crowds than families on weekends. So the end of May and the beginning of June is a good time for a trip to the Energylandia park. In this case I would bet on Sunday, possibly Saturday.
Or maybe in autumn?
If you plan to visit Energylandia 2-4 times a year, I would also try to visit 1-2 times in the above-mentioned period (May, early June). I would postpone the next 2 visits to the end of September or the beginning of October. And preferably during the week.
There will be many more people on weekends, and the closer to Halloween, the bigger the crowds.
Energylandia is also beautiful in winter
There is another period when it is worth going to Energylandia. It is winter and early spring – December, January and April. I know it may sound scary to you, how can you play with your children in an amusement park when the days are short and it is freezing outside.
You can do it, and quite well! Just make sure you wear decent clothing and bring warming drinks. In this way, you can spend a few hours in the park. Believe me, when you don’t stand in lines for attractions in Energylandia, after 2-3 hours you’ll have done everything you want. And even several times.
My family and I wear warm sweatshirts, long johns, jackets, hats, snoods and gloves. It’s also worth having a balaclava! On larger attractions it’s forbidden to ride in hats and scarves. Then we put on a snood and a balaclava, and you can even put on ski goggles and the fun is really great! 🙂
What days are best to go to Energylandia?
In another post I touched upon the topic What days are best to go to Energylandia? where I point out the specific advantages of going to Energylandia during the week and weekend.
When is Energylandia open?
Energylandia Park opens and closes on different days and months compared to previous years. In the current 2023 season, Energylandia is open from April 1 to January 21, 2023.
However, it is important to remember that not every day from April 1 to January 21 we can go to Energylandia. In the spring, the park is open only on Fridays and weekends.
You can visit Energylandia every day from May 1st to the end of September. After that time, the park is open only on selected days. In October, on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. In November 2022, Energylandia will be open only on two days: November 25 and 26.
In December we can party on December 1-3, December 6-10, December 15-17 and December 26-30. January is a surprise, as the park will be open on the first three weekends, including Fridays: January 5-7, January 12-14 and January 19-21, 2024.
