The season starts on Arkonka

Lifeguards on full alert. Pools cleaned, slides renovated, equipment checked and ready for use, and water tested. Everything - including catering points, "inflatables" and trampolines - is waiting for those eager for outdoor recreation: sunbathing and swimming. It is for them that tomorrow - on Children's Day - the "Szczecin Majorca" will open its gates.

Traditionally, Arkonka - on June 1 - starts the beach season in Szczecin. A reduced-price ticket will cost PLN 13, and a regular ticket - PLN 26. The youngest guests, i.e. children up to 6 years old, as well as disabled people with a guardian, will be able to use the attractions of the "Szczecin Majorca" free of charge.

- All swimming pools will be available to visitors - sports, teardrop, sea, wild river - and slides. Lifeguards will be watching over safety. In addition to the swimming pools, as always, you can expect many other attractions. Visitors will find deckchairs, hammocks, a playground, an outdoor gym, barbecue areas, a beach, beach volleyball courts and a skate park. Tennis courts will be available for a fee, as well as "inflatables" and trampolines. However, badminton courts will be free of charge - from this season.
