Gdansk: Extreme Shooting Range with Private Transport
If you’re looking for something a little different during your stay in Gdansk, this extreme shooting experience might just be the highlight. For $179 per person, you’ll enjoy a private transfer to Poland’s largest shooting range, where you can fire a wide variety of weapons under the watchful eye of a professional instructor. With a duration ranging from 75 to 195 minutes, this activity is flexible enough to fit into most itineraries, providing a safe yet adrenaline-pumping activity that offers authentic firearm practice.
What makes this experience particularly appealing is the chance to try multiple weapons, from the familiar Glock pistols to the powerful AK-47 Kalashnikov, with all equipment and safety gear included. We love that it combines quality instruction with a bit of friendly competition — perfect for groups of friends or solo travelers wanting a unique story to tell.
One potential consideration is the cost of additional ammunition, which isn’t included in the base price. If you’re keen to fire more rounds, you’ll need to purchase extra ammo, but that also means you can control your spending based on your enthusiasm.
This experience is best suited for those curious about firearms, adventurous travelers seeking a memorable activity, or anyone interested in a safe introduction to gun shooting with expert guidance.
