Growing successfully since 2008

In July 2024, Majaland Gdansk will be opened, followed by Majaland Katowice in 2026. Now under development is a waterpark in Warsaw, which will be an addition to the existing Majaland park.
Rapid expansion
Building on existing success and growth, Momentum Leisure will expand its leading position in Central European metropolitan areas. With five new theme park developments in preparation and multiple acquisition targets in and outside of Poland, Momentum Leisure focuses on expanding towards 10 gates with more than 5 million visitors annually.
