Inside you will find a 4D cinema, the largest model of the Tatra Mountains in Poland, a discovery room, a shop with unique mountain gadgets and publications, as well as many other attractions. Educational walk through the centre takes about an hour. The first point is the largest model of the Tatra Mountains in Poland with the presentation displayed on it. The next step includes very realistic dioramas, i.e. three-dimensional mock-ups depicting meadow and forest, as well as human impact on the Tatra ecosystems. The exhibition is complemented by nature films, which show Tatra Mountains from the perspective of their wild inhabitants. During the walk, you can also pop into the cave. It is very similar to the real one, including low temperature and seeping water. Inside, you can hear about what is happening in the Tatra underground. There is also a discovery room with computer games and videos for children. Whoever is interested in discovering and observing elements of nature can use the interactive tables. The room is also equipped with stereoscopic stands offering three-dimensional photographs of nature.
