Hajdúszoboszló is rolling out family fun all year with Miki Mini Parties at the Aqua-Palace Indoor Adventure Bath (Aqua-Palace Élményfürdő), and Saturdays just got a lot more exciting. Every Saturday from 2 p.m., the upper-level Children’s World (Gyerekvilág) at the Aqua-Palace turns into a buzzing hub of games, animation, and family activities. The Hungarospa spa complex is keeping kids front and center with a packed program series that stretches across the calendar, promising color, energy, and easygoing fun for locals and travelers alike. The venue is at 4200, Szent István Park 1–3, and the organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs—so keep an eye out for updates.
The next dates are set: 2026.01.24 in Hajdúszoboszló, 2026.01.31 in Hajdúszoboszló, 2026.02.07 in Hajdúszoboszló, and 2026.02.14 in Hajdúszoboszló. More dates are coming—there are 94 results in total—so the calendar won’t run dry anytime soon.
Where to Stay: Quiet Streets, Quick Walks
If you’re planning a weekend around the Aqua-Palace, the town is packed with guesthouses and apartments tucked into calm, leafy streets, just minutes from the action. One holiday house sits 400 meters (about 1,312 feet) from the beach complex—roughly a five-minute walk—and is divided into four separate upstairs apartments: two for two people, one for four, and one for five. It’s open year-round and built for undisturbed rest in the residential holiday zone, where the quiet does the heavy lifting. Guests heading for treatments can stroll to the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and the Béke Bath (Béke Fürdő) in minutes.
A centrally located pension sits by the airport, just 100 meters (328 feet) from the main beach, and around 400 meters (1,312 feet) from the Aquapark and the new Extreme Slide Park. The Árpád swimming pool and the Hungarospa therapy building are next door, with a full menu of medical treatments for anyone who needs them.
Alice Apartment (Alice Apartman) opened in 2010 with a family vibe in a peaceful corner, close to the beach, thermal baths, and the Aqua-Palace. Another apartment house in the resort quarter is just a comfortable five-minute walk from the world-famous spa, wrapped in quiet surroundings for slower mornings and easy evenings.
Steps From the Entrance
If proximity is your priority, several new-build apartments on Kölcsey and Major Streets sit just 100 to 200 meters (328 to 656 feet) from the main beach gates. Restaurants, a market, and grocery stores are all nearby, keeping errands quick and snack runs quicker.
Another apartment house opened in June 2009 in the resort center around Hungary’s largest medical and beach complex. It’s 200 meters (656 feet) from the beach and only 150 meters (492 feet) from the bus station, tucked in calm surroundings that feel pleasantly out of the way.
There’s also a guesthouse on a dead-end street—no through traffic, no unwanted noise. Parking is free in the courtyard, and guests share a breakfast kitchen. It’s open year-round. If you want the heart of things, one accommodation sits right in central Hajdúszoboszló, a few minutes on foot from the medical spa.
Family-Friendly Comforts and Private Pools
Evelin Apartment (Apartman Evelin) brings a bit of luxe just 200 meters (656 feet) from the baths, with a private yard pool that’s a hit in warm months. Across town, hotels double down on convenience: one sits 300 meters (984 feet) from the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő) entrance and 500 meters (1,640 feet) from the city center, in northeastern Hungary’s tourism triangle. The city’s mineral-rich water is known Europe-wide for both bathing and drinking cures, and the therapy options keep regulars coming back.
Another large hotel in the resort area offers 107 rooms designed for families and kids, with its own wellness and medical sections. Take your pick from classic doubles and triples, 2+2 family apartments, family rooms with bunk beds, and suites that go all out on comfort. Expect color TVs, minibars, telephones, and safes, with some rooms air-conditioned and balcony-equipped. Every room has a bathroom and WC.
Eat Well: From Traditions to Terrace Views
Kemencés Csárda holds onto Great Hungarian Plain (Alföld) roadside inn traditions while giving them a modern twist, from the menu to the interiors. If you want romance with your dinner, a popular complex near the medical spa offers a 150-seat covered terrace and an 80-seat upstairs panorama terrace—a local favorite for long evenings.
Major Pension and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem) and its apartments sit in the quiet part of the bathing district, eight minutes on foot from the winter entrance, and just two minutes from the summer gate. Mirage Restaurant has had a full refresh, with an upscale interior, a mood-lifting pálinka wall, a seasonal menu, and service that keeps diners happy.
A cozy restaurant-and-patisserie combo aims to revive a special way of life: refined rooms, generous dessert displays, and a wide drinks list. With 13 different room types, it caters to business travelers, couples, families, and the young at heart, with options offering either bathtubs or showers.
No. 8 is a laid-back go-to in the spa district, great day or night, with classic and adventurous grilled dishes. The seasonal terraces are a must—April to the end of November—with one of the city’s biggest 80-seat pergolas pouring cocktails and warming drinks for strolling guests.
Just a minute from the Hungarospa Medical Spa (Hungarospa Gyógyfürdő) gates, a pancake spot flips savory and sweet palacsinta, pours lemonades, cocktails, specialty coffees, and scoops artisan ice cream. For something homey, a pension sits 50 meters (164 feet) from the baths in a quiet, family setting, with two double rooms and eight four-bed, uniquely furnished queen rooms. Spacious balcony rooms come with bathrooms, TVs, and fridges, plus free, enclosed parking and a generous continental breakfast.
Dates and programs may change at the organizers’ discretion—check back often and plan your Saturday splash accordingly.
