The Water Factory in Szczecin, Poland, reimagines an aquatic complex by fusing recreation, education and urban placemaking within a single landmark. The mission of the eighteen-component campus begins with water—the element that founded cities and sustains life—inviting guests to explore its science, history and restorative power while simply having fun.

The leisure complex becomes an educational-cultural hub where exhibits spanning math, physics, biology, geography, chemistry, the humanities and history all flow back to the life-giving theme of H?O, inviting visitors into a vast hall crowned by the world’s largest water-molecule model and interactive zones that illuminate our bond with water and the planet. Even the elevator joins the adventure with an Apollo 11-inspired launch animation synchronized to the lift’s ascent, sparking curiosity from the very first moment.

The Water Factory is designed as a truly multifunctional destination — a place where education, entertainment and community life flow together seamlessly. The complex offers a host of complementary attractions, including pools, saunas, climbing wall, that turn a single visit into an all-day experience.
