Spora kolekcja przedmiotów z kości słoniowej i malachitu. Pokaźna liczba mieczy, noży, łuków itp., Szczególnie ciekawe są również instrumenty, maski obrzędowe oraz namiot ze skóry wielbłąda.

Me and my boyfriend went here and it was a great experience, I shot about 3 bullets and bottled out but they let my partner use my shots and I took pictures behind... Give it a go, if you don't like it you can stop but very professional! My partner has been shooting range in Las Vegas and this was 10times better as they let you load the gun as well.

We have gone to Krakow Valley Golf club for a business event - some golf first steps and a grill. Facilities are top notch, everything is well prepared, cared for, clean and professional. Food was excellent which all made it a great place for a friends/business visit.
