During a holiday there always comes a day when parents are fed up. The thought of yet another afternoon excursion to the beach with a blanket, windbreak, umbrella, beverages, food and two tonnes of toys arouses opposition within us. The vision of sand castles, sand pies, sand in the sandwiches, sand in buns and sand in the bottle of water doesn't put us in the right frame of mind. And adults are just the same as children; they would like to rest too.

I read a great story "Basia and the beach" by Zofia Stanecka, which in an excellent and funny way describes parents' struggles on the beach. The question of whether this is leisure I leave to the readers and ... parents who are sometimes in the same situation.

Holiday amusements relieve desperate parents. I am not talking about coin-operated motor vehicles, playhouses with plastic balls, or amusement parks of questionable quality. In some holiday towns special places have appeared which allow us to spend time in different ways from stuffing ourselves with ice-cream or waffles.

One such place is Whale Park in Rewal. The concept is derived from dinosaur parks, but here you can see sea life. In the park there are mock-ups of fish, mammals, shellfish and some basic information about them. They are arranged in one of three lands: "giants of the oceans", "monsters from the depths" and "the Baltic Sea". Everywhere you can find boards with titbits about sea animals living in the deep. The pirate village for children is an additional attraction. There the parents can rest on a lawn chair while the children expend some energy on a pirate ship, climbing frames or an inflatable castle.

I think the park was opened in 2011. In every new season there appear a few new attractions. Although it stays the same on the whole, my children have already scheduled another trip to this park. In Whale Park you can eat snacks and spend a little money in the souvenir shop. Apart from that, this is a place where children (and not only children) can learn while playing and parents can spend time without overexertion. At last we can have a holiday too.

See for yourselves how beautiful Rewal and Whale Park are. An excellent place for a holiday.

I recommend it!
