Within 1/2hr drive, there is the Krakow Valley 18-hole golf course, with riding stables (lessons for beginners), a shooting range, and ski lifts in the winter. It is also possible to hire horses for cross country riding.
A perfect spring/summer day trip is the Dunajec Gorge rafting, through the breathtaking rocky scenery, gentle enough even for the grandmothers and babies (local highlanders do the rafting - you sit back and relax), and a day trip to the medieval Ojcow Castle perched high on a rock with its museum and restaurant, is also a must, as is the surrounding National Park full of weird lime rock formations.
Krakow is situated some 100km from the Tatra Mountains, and a day trip should not be missed during a week's stay. Zakopane, 2 hours away by coach, is a bustling ski resort.
For those visiting in the summer, the nearby beach by the Kryspinow lake (10km) may prove worth a visits, and, during all times, the Waterpark is fun for all age groups.
The spectacular Wieliczka Salt Mine and the Auschwitz Concentration Camp can be visited as day trips.
