- Muzeum w Koszalinie (Koszalin Museum) — Regional collections covering local archaeology, folk culture and city history. Small but focused — the kind of place where you actually learn something about the area instead of getting overwhelmed.
- Planetarium and Astronomical Observatory — A proper hands-on stop for an evening show or a clear-night peek at the stars.
