Hungarospa in Hajdúszoboszló is rolling out a year-round family program for kids, and it’s as simple as marking your Saturdays. Every week at 2 p.m., the Aqua-Palace Indoor Adventure Bath turns its upper-level Children’s World into a buzzing, splash-friendly zone for the Miki Mini Party, a family animation session built around games, movement, and poolside fun. The venue sits at 4200 Hajdúszoboszló, Szent István Park 1–3, and the program runs all year, so you can drop in on winter weekends or time it for a spring break treat.
Phone reservations are encouraged, and with the Aqua-Palace’s climate-controlled floors, it’s an easy pick regardless of the weather. The space is designed for families: safe zones for little swimmers, colorful play corners, and upbeat hosts who can coax even shy kids into dancing and crafts. Expect music, team contests, and themed activities short enough to keep attention spans intact and energetic enough to guarantee an afternoon nap later.

Where to Stay Nearby
One of the perks of Hajdúszoboszló is how compact and walkable the resort zone is. Many apartments, pensions, and hotels are within a five-minute stroll of the beach complex, the thermal spa, and the Aqua-Palace. Several options sit just 330–660 feet from the main entrances, which makes it easy to shuttle kids back for naps or a snack.
– Upper-floor holiday house with four separate-entry apartments: two doubles, one for four, and one for five guests. About 1,300 feet (a five-minute walk) from the beach complex, open year-round, ideal for families who want privacy and quiet.
– Guesthouses in the garden district: prized by travelers seeking calm. From here, the famous Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Baths (Béke Fürdő) are just a few minutes on foot. It’s tranquil, with the bonus of fast access to therapeutic services.
– A centrally located pension near the airport: 330 feet from the beach, about 1,300 feet from both the Aqua Park and the newer Extreme Slide Park. The Árpád Pool and Hungarospa Therapy building are neighbors—handy if you want to add wellness treatments to your trip.
– Alice Apartman: a friendly apartment house opened in 2010, set in a quiet spot close to the beach, the thermal bath, and, of course, the Aqua-Palace.
– Apartments in the holiday quarter: a comfortable five-minute walk to the world-famous spa, with a peaceful, residential vibe.
– New-build apartments on Kölcsey and Major streets: just 330 and 660 feet from the main beach entrance, and within a short walk of restaurants, the local market, and grocery stores.
– An apartment house in the resort center: opened in June 2009, 660 feet from the beach and 490 feet from the bus station—quiet setting, easy transit.
– A cul-de-sac guesthouse: zero through-traffic, free courtyard parking, and a shared breakfast kitchen. Open year-round.
– Downtown stays: right in the heart of Hajdúszoboszló, just a few minutes’ walk from the thermal spa.
– Apartman Evelin: a luxury, fully equipped apartment about 660 feet from the bath complex, with its own courtyard pool—very family-friendly for post-swim lounging.
Hotels, Dining, and Classic Csárda Flair
If you prefer full-service comfort, there’s a hotel and restaurant positioned in the tourism triangle of Eastern Hungary, just 980 feet from the Thermal Spa entrance and about 1,640 feet from the city center. Hajdúszoboszló’s mineral-rich water is celebrated across Europe for both bathing and drinking cures, and the therapy wing at Hungarospa offers a range of treatments for those who need them.
For meals, you can lean local. Kemencés Csárda in Hajdúszoboszló channels the heritage of old roadside csárdas—once the first welcoming stops along village edges and highways—reinvented for modern tastes. The team aims to preserve and showcase traditional values through a menu rooted in Hungarian classics and a warm, rustic interior that feels like a time-travel hug.
Prefer an elegant rendezvous directly opposite the spa? Lorena Restaurant (Lorena Étterem) is a romantic yet stylish dining complex right across from the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő). It’s the kind of place where you can sit back after a long pool session and order something generous and reassuring, with service to match the setting.
Make a Family Day of It
Plan your Saturday around the 2 p.m. Miki Mini Party at Aqua-Palace, then extend the day with a walk through the resort zone, a stop at a local csárda, or an unhurried dinner opposite the bath. With so many stays within minutes of the pools, you can ditch the car, keep schedules loose, and make it all about kid-paced fun. And since the program runs all year, it’s a reliable way to add spark to winter weekends or anchor a long-planned spring escape.
