7 tips on what to do in Liptov when it rains

7 tips on what to do in Liptov when it rains

Liptov is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Slovakia. With many attractions for children and adults, hiking trails, water attractions, thermal springs, caves, ski resorts and everything else, Liptov is one of the top Slovak destinations. In summer, winter, spring and summer days there is always something to do and discover.

Imagine you have a holiday planned. You have chosen your accommodation in Liptov, and the places you want to visit… But the weather is not exactly ideal. What to do when it rains in Liptov? We have 7 tips to help you enjoy your holiday in Liptov in all weathers.

1. Stanišovská cave

Stanišovská Cave is the only year-round open cave in Slovakia. It is located a short distance behind Liptovský Ján, in the Jánska valley. You can discover the magical underground here with a headlamp on your head and experienced cavers are your guides. A 45-60 minute stay in the cave, during which you will walk 177 m, is a pleasant experience for both children and adults.

Stanišovská Cave is neither the largest nor the most beautiful of the Slovak caves. But it is worth seeing. You and your children will surely remember the experience of exploring the beauty of this cave for a long time to come.

2. Hurricane Factory

If you are a lover of adrenaline, the Hurricane Factory at Aquapark Tatralandia is a unique experience that you should not miss. Are you interested in flying? Hurricane Factory can be a small taste of it. It flies in a glass chamber that has a diameter of 4.3 m and a height of up to 14 m. A one-minute stay in the chamber simulates falling out of a plane from a height of up to 4,000 m. Make your dream of flying come true.

The attraction is designed for adults, but also for children from 5 years old. If you are worried about safety, you don’t have to. At the Hurricane Factory you are supervised by experienced instructors and you will also receive a full briefing before the flight.

We’ve tried it for you: the Hurricane Factory is an experience you won’t forget. The preparation and briefing are longer than the actual flying, but the feeling in the air is indescribable. We recommend it with all ten of our hearts!

3. Aquapark Tatralandia

Aquapark Tatralandia is a place of water fun, adventure and relaxation. It is located only 2 km from Liptovský Mikuláš and a short walk from Liptovská Mara. Aquapark offers 14 swimming pools, 28 slides, fun and adrenaline attractions and a varied animation programme during the summer. You can also try surfing on wild waves or snorkelling. When it’s raining outside or the weather isn’t suitable for outdoor activities, the Tropical Paradise with 30°C and 4 indoor pools is a delight. In the Tropical Paradise, the indoor waterpark is dominated by a pirate ship, which will provide plenty of entertainment options for children. Adults may be interested in the wellness & spa area with a variety of treatments.

Our tip: If you prefer more intimate spaces, try the wellness at the Demänová Resort in Demänovo. In the new wellness centre you will find everything you need to relax your body and soul – dry sauna, steam sauna, infrared sauna, Kneipp foot bath, cooling bath, ice bath, whirlpool and teppidarium. As a bonus, you will enjoy beautiful views of the enchanting natural scenery of Liptov.

4. House upside down

Not far from Tatralandia and a short distance from Liptovský Mikuláš you will find this unusual phenomenon not only in Liptov, but also in Slovakia – a house built upside down. The building, which was created as an expression of frustration with bureaucracy, soon after its opening became a sought-after attraction in Liptov. The house is furnished – even the children’s room, which has its permanent residents, such as Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood. And although you may feel a little dizzy from seeing this attraction, a visit to the Upside Down House is definitely worth it!

5. Wooden Articular Church in Svätý Kříž

Just 14 km from Liptovský Mikuláš stands a unique evangelical church, which is one of the largest wooden buildings in Central Europe. The church in Svätý Kříž has a floor plan of 43 m and the shape of a cross. If you are familiar with wooden churches from the north-east of Slovakia, which are rather smaller in size, this one will amaze you with its majesty. The interior can accommodate almost 6,000 people. The interior is magical. The wooden baroque altar or the unique pulpit, which stands on a log foundation, catches the eye at first sight. The atmosphere of the church is truly unique, don’t miss it.

Our tip: Before visiting the church, we recommend you check the opening hours. On weekdays, the church in Holy Cross is only open to the public for 1.5 hours a day.

6. Slovak Museum of Nature Conservation and Caving

2 expositions – Karst and Caves of Slovakia and Protected Nature of Slovakia – Earth a Place for Life are spread over 4 floors of the museum from the basement to the attic. On 1400 m2 you will find interesting artefacts about caving, beauty and nature conservation. The museum also includes a relaxation area where you can watch films or just take a moment to relax and recharge your batteries. The museum organises a number of events for the public throughout the year, which can make your visit to the museum more enjoyable. And although a stay at the museum is always a bit of a different kind of fun, we definitely recommend it. And not only when it rains in Liptov.

7. Demänová resort and restaurant Pinius

Demänová resort is a new ecological resort in Demänova, a few minutes by car from Liptovský Mikuláš and Demänovská Dolina. The Demänová resort also includes the renowned Pinius restaurant, which enchants with its stylish design and exceptional cuisine.

If you are on holiday in the Liptov region and it is raining, you have all the more reason to sit in the nice restaurant with a fireplace and enjoy quality food prepared with love. Without stress and chasing.

Children can have fun in the spacious children’s play area, which is part of the Pinius restaurant. And you can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant in the Demänová resort.

Apropos. What to do with children when it rains? Or balls and indoor children’s playgrounds that’s for sure. One children’s centre can be found right in Liptovský Mikuláš, in the RGB Liptov shopping centre. Handy Dandy Kids Paradise is located on the 1st floor and offers everything to keep younger children especially entertained.

We also had a good experience with the Babyland indoor playground, which is part of the Baybyland Villa Betula Rezort near Liptovská Mara. On an area of 500 m2 you will find, in addition to the aforementioned balls (ball pool), a three-storey children’s maze, various labyrinths, obstacles, building blocks. Entrance to the area is not among the cheapest, but when it’s raining and parents are at a loss, it’s good to know about it. 😊

Enjoy your stay in Liptov, whatever the weather.

I'm from Poland and in my opinion the center is worth recommending, beautiful surroundings, and a very nice community, the animators do their best to make sure no one gets bored, my younger sister is also happy. I also met a lot of new people whom I hope to meet again someday

Daniel Julius Markus

Excellent family friendly fun. Best for 12 and under. Lots to see and do.

Gergely Tamás

One of the best aparthotel what i have visited ever, absolutely worth it. It is a child safe and family friendly place with a lot of activities. We have visited this place on summer. The children can play football, basketball, pingpong, roller and so on.. The pool could be bigger, it was little bit crowded on the hottest days. The food was perfect with a large selection. There are a lot of good sight location around the hotel. I recommend this place.

Great resort, many attractions, perfect place to relax, I recommend it!

Chris Dedman

A Must stay! Beautiful resort for young families and kids. Lovely location from Poprad airport. Beautiful scenery and easy to get to the resort. On arriving Emilia (English speaking) was so helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Went above and beyond to help with everything. Lovely rooms and views but one to mention if have very young children best to ask for a unit lower down as a small trek if have no car. The slope at the resort is great for kids learning to ski and has a greta tubing slope and sledging. Plus plenty of other activities summer rand winter including play parks. Also only 15 mins away is transalandia swimming complex which is epic for kids and adults with outdoor pools heated in the winter. 40c. Also the wellbeing center at the resort is amazing for kids over 3 as is a perfect place after skiing. Two great restaurants on the resort and jasna for higher mountain skiing is only 15 mins on a free shuttle bus. Overall a perfect place to stay amd highly recommend. Staff were helpful and assisted and helped. Will be returning for Christmas next year but with friends and to stay in the larger cottages. A must to visit. Thank you Demanova resort x

Great for Winter weekend with kids

Margit Hupkova

Food was great (we had half board, the breakfast choice was amazing, I especially appreciated fresh vegetables and fruit, the Indian cousine for dinner adapted to the European non-spicy tongues was a lovely surprise, even our 2,5 years old daughter loved it). Staff very friendly and helpful, we liked that they often approached us offering various types of fun activities for both, adults and kids. I took one star off for various reasons - first, I really did not appreciate having to walk all the way to R building couple of times per day with a pram and a 2,5 year old child. We could have used the car but it just seemed annoying having to staff the kids into a car for a 2minutes drive. So not good one way, not good the other way. I would have appreciated being able to choose a building at the time of booking. Next time we will be wiser. Secondly, I did not enjoy the constant reconstruction on the site, not too overbearing but yes, a bit annoying as we were near to it. Thirdly, it is in the middle of the nature, I would have loved to have nets on the windows to keep flies and spiders out of the apartment. In the fourth place, I was surprised that the fun zone which was included in the price of the stay had an activity (it is true that I saw only one, a trampoline) which had to be paid on top of the cost of the fun zone and not cheap (I think it was 5eur for 5mins of jumping). Luckily, our kids are too young for that but I can see that it can be difficult for parents to resist their kids pleas. In the fifth place, there is no lift to the first floor of the Indian restaurant, so you need to carry the pram by stairs or leave it downstairs, which, with a very young kids like ours (6 months) wasn't an option. Building a kids rezort you would think they thought about it. And finally, when it is raining (which it was all day), there is not much you can do. Most activities are outdoors. There is only a very small kids zone in a restaurant, really small, few activities and the spa. That's it.
