Looking for a way to make your kids’ Friday afternoons in the summer of 2025 memorable? The Chocolate Afternoon program in Louis Peace (Lajosmizse) promises to be a mega-hit with children and chocolate-loving families alike, packing creativity and interactive fun into a couple of delicious hours.
Chocolate, Fountains, and Hands-On Fun
From July through August 2025, every Friday will transform Deák Ferenc Street (Deák Ferenc utca) into a paradise for 6- to 13-year-olds with a sweet tooth (and for accompanying adults who can’t resist chocolate, either). The main attraction runs from 2:00 to 4:00 pm and invites both kids and their families to step into a world where creativity meets chocolate in spectacular ways. The experience is open to children on their own—parents do not have to attend—but families can register to join the adventure as a group. All that’s needed is a quick phone call in advance and a cash payment of about $11 per person at the door.
Let’s Get Messy: What’s On the Menu?
Chocolate Afternoon isn’t just about eating—it’s about playing with your food (finally, permission granted!). Expect three main events:
- Chocolate modeling, where kids get to squish, shape, and sculpt their own chocolate creations—and bring them home as edible trophies.
- An interactive grillázs (caramel and nut brittle) demonstration, showing how this traditional Hungarian treat gets its mouth-watering magic. Don’t be surprised if sampling is strongly encouraged.
- The showstopper: a trip to the chocolate fountain, flowing with gluten-free chocolate so everyone can dip and drizzle to their heart’s content.
Throughout the program, safety is a priority: adults supervise each activity, so parents can relax (or jump in for a cocoa fix themselves).

All events take place in Louis Peace (Lajosmizse), less than a half-hour drive from Budapest and just 3 km from the M5 highway’s Louis Peace (Lajosmizse) exit—a location right in the heart of Hungary’s plains.
To keep everything running smoothly, families are asked to arrive 10-15 minutes before the starting time for a quick check-in. Attendees pay $11 per person—yes, that includes adults who want to join in the chocolate fun! Just don’t forget to mention during registration if both kids and adults are coming, as space fills up quickly.
A Delicious Trip to Hungary’s Countryside
If you’re traveling from out of town, staying the night—or the weekend—opens up even more experiences for families. The Geréby Mansion Hotel and Riding Yard (Geréby Mansion Hotel és Lovasudvar) sits beautifully just outside Louis Peace (Lajosmizse), offering 58 rooms and suites for up to 130 guests. In place of city bustle, you’ll find wellness areas to unwind, spaces for conferences or weddings, and summertime activities in open fields—or even sleigh rides across the winter plains.
Curious visitors can immerse themselves in authentic traditions at the Heritage Yurt Camp (Heritage Yurt Camp – Jurtatábor), where the ancient lifestyle, objects, and cuisine of Turanian tribes come alive. The camp features six yurts—each presenting the culture of a different tribe—letting families and groups get hands-on with crafts, clothing, and even food from another era.
Horse lovers won’t want to miss the family-style stables at Mizse Equestrian Ranch (Mizsei Lovastanya). On a vast pasture, you’ll meet horses, ponies, donkeys, pot-bellied pigs, sheep, and much more—plus a 13,450-square-foot indoor riding arena for all-weather fun. Summertime means plenty of kids’ and adult camps, perfect for escaping technology and connecting with animals.
Prefer something cozier? The Wildflower Guesthouse (Vadvirágos Guesthouse), only a minute from Louis Peace (Lajosmizse) and the M5, puts guests in new yet traditionally furnished rooms, decorated with old Hungarian motifs and comfy pine furniture. The grounds include a playground, herb garden, and parks for kids to run wild while adults relax.
Handcrafted Chocolates Galore
Of course, once you’ve indulged your inner chocolate artist, more temptations await. Throughout Louis Peace (Lajosmizse) and its inviting hotels and guesthouses, you’ll be welcomed with special handmade chocolates and grillázs products to complete your visit.
Mark Your Calendar for Sugar-Fueled Family Fun
The organizers reserve the right to adjust dates and programs, so keep an eye out for updates and be ready to dive into a sweet, hands-on family afternoon this summer that’s so much more than just a snack. Don’t say you weren’t warned: Chocolate Afternoon 2025 will be the talk of your summer!
