Water attractions on Lake Jamno

For active families with children we have a rich base on Lake Jamno (Water Fun Mielno):

Cruise on the Mila boat (45 min, 30-60 PLN) — the most popular family attraction, stable vessel with covered deck, guide tells about the history of the region.
Water Amusement Park (from age 6) — inflatable obstacle course on the surface of the lake. Slides, trampolines, climbing walls. Day ticket 81 PLN online (or 100 PLN course only).
Pedal boats La Noria — themed shapes (unicorn, Paw Patrol, flamingo, swans), versions with slides and water guns. 90 PLN with no time limit.
Jet skis — for older children (8-17 years) as passengers. Safe on the calm surface of Jamno.

The calm surface of the lake (average depth 1.4 m, no sea waves) makes it a safer place for families with children than the open sea.
