The famous Nighttime Labyrinth event is back at Star Path Maze (Csillagösvény Labirintus) in Ópusztaszer, offering thrill-seekers a night to remember in Europe’s largest hedge maze. This isn’t just about getting lost—every twist and turn offers a playful introduction to Hungarian history, geography, and wildlife. Whether you’re a puzzle-loving child, a family, or an active grandparent, you’ll find something to enjoy in this world of riddles, folk games, and child-friendly adventures.
Glow-in-the-Dark Pumpkin Fun for Families
On October 25 at 5:00 p.m., families of all sizes can dive into the autumn spirit with group pumpkin carving. Shape your own grinning pumpkin family, craft one-of-a-kind lanterns, and soak up the true fall atmosphere. The best part? You’ll take your creations home, keeping that Halloween magic alive long after the event.
For extra excitement, purchase another pumpkin with a bonus ticket. Enjoy the warmth with mulled wine, hot tea, roasted chestnuts, and tasty treats from La Mia Napoli Festa—expect chimney cake (kürtőskalács) and pizza. As night falls, don’t miss the fire juggler show lighting up the maze.
