A seaside holiday with children is a logistical challenge that, with the right destination, becomes a pleasure. Kołobrzeg offers what families need most: a beach within easy reach, attractions for every weather, a peaceful, green centre and accommodation where children are genuinely welcome, not merely tolerated. Below is a practical guide: what to do, where to stay and how to plan your visit so you return refreshed.
Why is Kołobrzeg ideal for a family holiday?
Kołobrzeg is one of the few Polish seaside towns with a beach, a town centre full of shops and cafés, extensive healthcare facilities and attractions that operate regardless of the weather. This is especially important for families with children. In typical holiday resorts with only a few hotels and fish restaurants, parents face a major challenge on non-beach days: finding activities beyond board games in the room and cartoons on a tablet. Kołobrzeg is different—museums, an aquarium, a salt cave, forests and a seaside park await whatever the Baltic weather brings.
The town also has official spa municipality status, meaning that even a walk in the park or along the Parsęta benefits children’s mood and wellbeing—sea air, peace and greenery do their work.
Things to do with children in Kołobrzeg—activities for the whole week
Kołobrzeg has plenty to offer, and a week passes quickly among its many attractions.
Beach and sea
Kołobrzeg’s central beach is broad and sandy, with a gentle slope into the water—ideal for young children. In summer, the beach is guarded by WOPR, and the promenade has all the essentials: sun-lounger hire, food outlets and toilets. From the town centre, the beach is a walk of around 15 minutes, or you can take the minibus that transports guests of Apartamenty Nad Parsętą directly there.
Pier and fishing port
The pier is a must-see on every visit. A few hundred metres farther on, the fishing port offers fresh fish straight from the boats and a chance to see fishing vessels up close.
Museum of Polish Arms and Maritime Open-Air Museum
The Museum of Polish Arms houses one of Poland’s largest military collections and is a real treat for children. At Kołobrzeg’s Maritime Open-Air Museum, you can enter real warships. Both attractions are a few minutes’ walk from Apartamenty Nad Parsętą.
Hidden Land and 6D Museum
For rainy days, Kołobrzeg offers two unique family attractions. Hidden Land is a 400 m² interactive exhibition where children play, discover and learn through experience. The 6D Museum—Maszoperia is the only attraction of its kind in Europe, offering a fully immersive experience for the whole family. During summer, booking both in advance is recommended.
Salt cave—health benefits for children through play
The Nad Parsętą salt cave is also open to children. Children aged 5 and over may use it under parental supervision. The session lasts 45 minutes in an atmospheric setting with mood lighting, quiet music and loungers. For children with recurrent infections, inhalant allergies or weakened immunity, halotherapy is sometimes used as a complementary treatment. For most children, however, it is simply a magical salt cave—and that alone is enough to make them want to return. Details are available under Salt Cave.
Kayaking on the Parsęta and cycling
The Parsęta River is one of Pomerania’s most beautiful kayaking routes. Kayak rental is available directly at the Nad Parsętą property. Bikes are also available for hire (15% discount with the family package), while dozens of kilometres of cycling routes run around Kołobrzeg through forests and along the coast. Child seats and trailers are available for children who cannot yet cycle independently.
Where to stay with children in Kołobrzeg—what to consider
Choosing the right accommodation determines whether your stay will truly be relaxing. When planning a trip with children, it is worth considering several factors.
An apartment with a kitchenette is extremely convenient with children—you can prepare a meal at any time or warm up food for little ones. The Apartamenty Nad Parsętą apartments at Młyńska 10 have fully equipped kitchenettes with a fridge, kettle and crockery.
A child-friendly safe space is another priority. At the Szpitalna 7 property, the youngest guests can use a play corner where they can draw, write on a chalkboard, do puzzles and play after returning from the beach or while waiting for a meal.
A minibus to and from the beach is a major convenience—you can reach the water and return to your apartment within minutes, without carrying loungers and bags while also carrying a tired child.
The Family Holiday Package at Apartamenty Nad Parsętą includes 5 nights from PLN 1,210 per person and covers accommodation, full board (buffet breakfast with Live Cooking and dinner), a back massage and foot or facial massage for each adult, 2 salt-cave sessions, access to the relaxation area (pool, jacuzzi, fitness room), and 15% off bike and kayak rental. Details are available under Offers and promotions.
Can children use the wellness area?
Yes, subject to common-sense restrictions. Children may use the pool and jacuzzi under parental supervision. The high-temperature Finnish sauna is not recommended for young children—ask staff if in doubt. The salt cave welcomes children aged 5 and over with a parent for the entire session. The fitness room is for adults only.
