Mikołajki is a true gem of Masuria, where history and legends intertwine with a family atmosphere.

It is especially worth visiting Mikołajki during the Mikołajki Days, when festivals, shows, and family attractions rule the streets. This is a place that delights both children and adults, regardless of the season.
For children, it’s a true adventure, while for adults – an opportunity to relax on the water. Ships sailing on the Masurian lakes offer various routes, including shorter ones that are perfect for the youngest. Picturesque landscapes, the gentle sound of water, and the chance to encounter swans or ducks make the cruise a relaxing experience.
In Mikołajki and Giżycko, you can easily book cruises tailored to families' needs. On board, children can feel like little captains, observing the crew at work up close, while parents have the opportunity to admire the beauty of the Masurian waters and nature.
An ideal place for animal lovers. You can admire bison, wolves, and even deer. Children will be delighted with the opportunity to feed selected animals. The park is also a great opportunity for education – guides are happy to tell stories about animal habits, their protection, and the role they play in the ecosystem. A walk through the park takes place on designated paths surrounded by beautiful Masurian nature, making it an ideal place for family recreation.
Giżycko is one of the most distinctive towns in Masuria, and the Boyen Fortress is its historical gem. This monumental structure from the 19th century is an excellent outdoor history lesson that attracts not only military enthusiasts but also families with children. Expansive fortifications, labyrinths of walls, and mysterious corridors encourage the exploration of the fortress's nooks and crannies in an interactive way. In summer, festivals and historical reenactments take place here. In the area, you will also find beaches perfect for family relaxation and water bike rentals.
The Sailing Village in Mikołajki is a port and the center of sailing and tourist life in Masuria. Equipped with docks, boat building points, and a fuel station, it attracts sailors from the country and even worldwide. In summer, this place buzzes with life – the sounds of shanties, views of departing yachts, and festivals such as Mikołajki Days or the Shanty Festival create an unforgettable atmosphere.
This is also an ideal place for a walk and relaxation. Restaurants overlooking Lake Mikołajskie, live concerts at the Żagiel Tavern or Namiot Club, and picturesque landscapes make the Sailing Village a must-visit spot on the map of family recreation.
Krutynia is one of the most beautiful places in Masuria, perfect for family kayaking trips.

Guides often plan stops for picnics in charming nooks, adding a unique charm to the trip. It’s a great way to combine active recreation with discovering Masurian nature.
St. Nicholas Church is a unique place that combines spirituality with stunning views. The 40-meter viewing tower is a true attraction – from the terrace, you can see a panorama of Mikołajki and the surrounding lakes. While climbing the tower, you can see three massive bells, and at the top – a reward in the form of breathtaking scenery. It’s worth stopping by to combine a moment of reflection with admiring the beauty of Masuria from a completely new perspective.
On cooler days, the tropical water park in Ruciane-Nida is a great choice for family relaxation. Heated pools, slides for children and adults, and play areas will provide entertainment for hours.
