Before You Book Energylandia: Every Cost, and What's Worth It
By the BeatTheCrowd team · Prices last checked 2 November · 5 min read
Energylandia is Poland's biggest theme park, with one of Europe's largest coaster line-ups, and its ticket system depends on your height, the season, how many days you stay and where you buy. Add the Energy Pass, parking and the trip from Kraków, and the options pile up. Most of them sound like something you need. You don't need all of them. In this guide we walk through what each one costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right one for your day, whether it's a quiet September weekday or a summer Saturday.

Energylandia prices tickets by height (140 cm is the dividing line), by season (high season is late June to August, low season is spring and September-October) and by where you buy: the box office costs 10 zł more per day than online. Every ticket includes all rides, shows and the water park, with no ride limits.

Energy Pass or a second day?
The Energy Pass costs 219-239 zł on top of your ticket and gives you one fast entry on each of 14 attractions, including Hyperion, Zadra, Abyssus, Mayan, Formuła and Space Booster. You need to bring it printed. A second day costs only 170-190 zł more (379 zł vs 209 zł in low season, 419 zł vs 229 zł in high season).
Our verdict: if you can spare the time, a two-day pass is cheaper than the Energy Pass and gets you more rides. Buy the Energy Pass only if you have a single day, and that day is a busy Saturday or a high-season date.
There's also an Energy Pass Discounted (179-199 zł) for children under 140 cm, which covers eight family rides such as Abyssus, Formuła and RMF Dragon.
The 1 zł tickets
Children under 3 pay 1 zł, and so does anyone on their birthday, up to and including their 18th, with ID. Birthday tickets are sold only at the park's ticket offices.
What visitors say
Visitors are impressed by the sheer number of coasters, especially Zadra and Hyperion, and many say one day isn't enough to do everything. The most common advice is to avoid summer weekends, or plan for long queues on the headliners.
Prices last checked: 2 November. Prices vary with the season, peak and off-peak dates and promotions, and we recheck them every month. Visitor-reported costs are marked as estimates, and US$ figures are rough conversions.
Short on time? What you'd regret missing
Zadra: a record-breaking wooden-hybrid coaster, and the ride most visitors come for.
Hyperion: a huge hyper coaster in the Extreme Zone.
Abyssus: a launch coaster, open to some kids too.
Mayan and Space Booster, for thrill-seekers.
The water park zone, included with your ticket in summer.
With half a day, ride Zadra and Hyperion first, while the queues are shortest.
The crowd tax: why Saturday costs more
Our crowd data shows Energylandia moderate on Fridays and busy on Saturdays from about 11 am to 5 pm. We have fewer readings for other days, as the park's operating calendar varies outside summer. On a busy Saturday, the long headliner queues are when the Energy Pass earns its price.

On the day

Eat early or late: food, arcades and shops aren't included in your ticket.
Bring layers and rain gear: the weather in southern Poland changes fast.
Pack swimwear in summer: the water park is included.
Check the operating calendar: the main season runs from April to October, with a separate Winter Kingdom event in winter.
Coming with kids
Children under 140 cm pay the reduced price: 169-189 zł.
Under-3s pay 1 zł, and so do kids on their birthday.
There are dedicated zones for young children and families, the Little Kids Zone and the Family Zone.
Buy the Energy Pass Discounted, not the standard one, for a child under 140 cm: many standard-pass rides have height limits.
What can go wrong
You plan one day for everything: a two-day pass is better value for coaster fans.
You go on a summer Saturday without a plan: long queues on the headliners.
You forget to print the Energy Pass: it must be printed.
The park isn't open on your date: check the calendar.
You buy at the box office: 10 zł more per day.
