A day trip to Legendia: Roller coasters and attractions

If you’re looking for a place where you could enjoy a full day of adrenaline, family fun and relaxation in a beautiful setting, Legendia, the amusement park in Katowice, Poland, is the perfect choice. The park is located by a lake and surrounded by greenery. At first sight, it feels more like a giant park filled with trees and flowers than just another “city of rides”.

Legendia amusement park: Facts and figures

• Size: Legendia covers an impressive area of 26 hectares, with plenty of greenery and shade from tall trees by a lake.
• Attractions: You’ll find over 40 different attractions – from gentle children’s ones and family favourites to those guaranteed to get your adrenaline pumping.
• Themed zones: The park is divided into five zones, each with its unique atmosphere, so you’ll never get lost.
• Nature and plants: This isn’t just metal and concrete – quite the opposite. With more than 800 plant species, Legendia feels more like a large landscaped park enhanced with fun features.
• Food and drinks: With 11 gastronomy facilities, you certainly won’t go hungry. From quick snacks and sweets to hearty meals, there’s plenty to choose from. We ate at the Oberża Lecha restaurant, and it was excellent!

Why is Legendia worth visiting?

Roller coasters are definitely Legendia’s main highlights. One of them is ranked among the very best in Europe, and it truly lives up to the reputation. We would have happily gone on it again and again! Another, smaller one has been there for a while, but it still delivers a solid dose of adrenaline. Right below the mighty Lech Coaster you’ll find the Oberża Lecha restaurant, offering a spectacular view of the massive structure from the terrace. Visitors zipping down can be watched from there comfortably.

The food was delicious. We tried meatballs with mushroom sauce and potato chips, and it was superb. You can either order from the menu or help yourself buffet-style to dishes such as schnitzels, potatoes, rice or fish. Across the park, you’ll also find restaurants and snack stands. Drinks can be served in themed Legendia cups decorated with attraction motifs, complete with a strap so that you can carry your cup around and refill as you go.

Must-try attractions

Legendia is packed with adrenaline attractions. We started with the Pirate ship right near the entrance to the right. There are also plenty of attractions where you’ll suddenly find yourself upside down – before you even realise what’s happening. For children and those preferring calmer fun, there are gentler rides: a merry-go-round, spinning teacups, a chair-swing ride, small planes, Basilisk dark ride, a giant Ferris wheel or boat rides on a lake in the heart of the park. Around the lake, you’ll find green zones perfect for laying out a blanket or resting on benches. We never had to queue long thanks to our Fast Pass, and in general, the park didn’t feel overcrowded. Ice-cream stands and a souvenir shop are available too.

There are also trampolines and a huge slide next to a smaller roller coaster. Kids loved it, but plenty of parents joined in too, so individuals not preferring adrenaline attractions can have great fun as well. Next to the legendary planes, one can find another relaxation zone and a zone for children with an inflatable castle, bouncy slides and a large jumping area.

Why should you bring spare clothes?

Be prepared to get wet on the water attractions! We recommend packing a change of clothes. The park does have a drying booth with built-in dryers, but it’s a paid service – 5 PLN per use.

Legendia after dark & Fast Pass advantage

In summer, the park comes alive in the evenings with special events. The attractions are beautifully illuminated, creating a completely different atmosphere than during the day. Although we didn’t manage every single ride, it’s definitely possible to experience almost all of them in one day – especially with a Fast Pass. Dedicated entrances (for example, at the Lech Coaster) can take you straight to the front rows, and exits are separate too. In Legendia, the fun is really around every corner.
