Forest Kingdom

Forest Kingdom

Forest Kingdom is one of the largest ecological natural playgrounds for children in Slovakia. It covers an impressive area of 5 000 m² right on the ridge of the Spišská Magura, in close proximity to the Treetop Walk and the cable car station of the BACHLEDKA Resort (the village of Ždiar).

Thanks to its unique location right on the border of Tatra National Park (TANAP) and Pieniny National Park (PIENAP) the entire complex is perfectly set in the mountain environment in harmony with nature. The attraction benefits from its excellent strategic location and accessibility – it is situated in the immediate vicinity of the High Tatras (just 30 km from the town of Poprad). It is also easily accessible across the border from Poland, with the well-known resorts of Zakopane (40 km) and Białka Tatrzańska (25 km) just a short drive away.

More than 25 attractions of the playground are made from solid acacia wood without chemical coatings. The complex offers parents the opportunity to relax in the fresh mountain air while enjoying views of the surrounding countryside, while children combine adventurous physical activity with discovering the secrets of the forest.

Royal Lookout Tower with educational features

The unmissable dominant feature of the complex is the 15-metre-high Royal Lookout Tower. It offers visitors an exceptional view not only of the crowns of the surrounding trees and the ridge of the Spišská Magura, but also of the majestic Belianske Tatras and Pieniny. The lookout tower is also an exciting experience thanks to the interactive educational features that introduce children to life in tree trunks and treetops right from the tower.

Attractions and features in Forest Kingdom

Forest Kingdom is not just an ordinary playground. It consists of more than 25 interconnected elements, logically divided into zones to entertain toddlers as well as demanding teenagers.  The playground is also an interactive outdoor classroom. Instead of boring information boards, children discover nature through touch, sound and play.
