The Shooting Range in Zakopane

The activity takes place at Strzelnica Top Gun Zakopane, located at Wadysawa Orkana 2a. This is a dedicated shooting range designed for beginners and experienced shooters alike. The facility is equipped to handle up to 15 travelers at a time, ensuring a more personalized and attentive experience.
Since the activity ends back at the starting point, transportation isn’t a concern — you just meet at the specified location. The entire session is quick but packed with enough shots to give you a real sense of firing different guns.

It’s suitable for groups of friends, couples, or even families with teens aged 14+. The instructors clearly prioritize safety and fun, making it accessible for newcomers and seasoned shooters alike.
However, it’s not ideal for those with epilepsy, seizures, or sensitivity to loud noise, as shooting ranges can be quite noisy and stimulating. Also, if you’re under the influence, it’s a strict no-go, which is understandable.
