The six hectares of green parkland feature original, large-scale devices designed to stimulate thinking and teach, but also to entertain so that learning becomes a pleasure at every age. The devices are arranged in thematic groups covering optics, hydrostatics, acoustics, and mechanics.
There are now more than 100 stations among the park’s greenery to perform simple physics experiments in acoustics, mechanics, hydrostatics, and optics.
The primary intention of this branch is to attract visitors’ interest in science through play. The garden is open from spring to autumn. It is being systematically enriched with new devices, and its thematic focus is being extended to introduce visitors to more fields of knowledge (such as geology or botany).
In 2021, the Garden was enriched by as many as forty new educational facilities created as part of the “Winter Experimental Garden” EU project.
The main attractions include a six-metre rocket, from which two slides extend. One of them is shaped like a cycloid fragment, i.e., a curve of the fastest descent. The slide next to it is straight, so you can easily see which one is faster to go down.
The only tightrope-riding bicycle in Poland is also very popular. The weight suspended beneath it lowers the centre of gravity considerably and thus ensures the stability of the entire installation.
