You’ll step straight into Kraków’s Be Happy Museum and find yourself surrounded by playful photo spots—giant sweets, neon signs, and pastel scenes everywhere you look. Take your time snapping selfies or laughing at your friends’ attempts (it happens). Your entry ticket covers everything inside; just bring your phone and a willingness to be goofy for an hour or two.
We walked into the Be Happy Museum in Kraków and I swear, it felt like stepping into a cartoon someone dreamed up after eating too many donuts. The first thing that hit me was this faint sugary smell—maybe from the giant fake cupcakes? My friend Magda immediately started posing with a neon flamingo while I tried to balance on a donut swing (harder than it looks, by the way). The staff smiled when we fumbled with our phones and even offered to take a picture of us under the pastel rainbow arch. There’s something about being surrounded by all those wild colors that makes you loosen up, even if you’re usually camera shy.
I didn’t expect to laugh so much at myself trying to pose with a unicorn statue—Magda said I looked more confused than magical. Every room had its own vibe; one was all Hollywood lights, another just wall-to-wall sprinkles. It’s not huge but you can easily spend an hour or more coming up with new ideas for photos (or just watching other people try). Kids were running around in tutus, and honestly, the adults seemed just as into it. At one point I heard someone say “this is like Instagram exploded,” which… yeah, pretty much sums it up.
The best part? No pressure to rush or act cool—everyone’s just there to play. We left with about fifty photos each (some good, some… let’s just say creative), but what stuck with me was how light everything felt afterward. Maybe it was all the pink and yellow or maybe we just needed an excuse to be silly together for once.
