Śląski Ogród Zoologiczny
Large zoo within Park Śląski. Reduced price Nov-Feb when the animals shelter from the cold. "Giraffe" is the name of the tall metal sculpture by the entrance, not remotely resembling one.
Renovated in 2022 this has screenings, a space flight simulator and a camera obscura. Headphones for English commentary available.
Large stadium, rebuilt 2009-17 to have a capacity of 54,378. It formerly hosted the national soccer team; it no longer has a resident team but stages athletics events and rock concerts.
Muzeum Górnośląski Park Etnograficzny
Large skansen or open-air museum, with old farm buildings, dwellings and so on collected from around the region. Not much visible Nov-April as buildings are shuttered up against the winter. Its centrepiece was intended to be the 16th century church of Syrynia, but somehow that landed up in Katowice, and it's too frail to move again. Guided tour is available, but the accuracy of the guide's explanation is questionable at best.
Kościół Św Wawrzyńca
This is where you want your wedding photos taken: it's a wooden church from 1599, formerly from Knurów village near Gliwice, moved to Chorzów in the 1930s.
A large theatre.
