Hajdúszoboszló is rolling out family fun every Saturday, all year long. The Hungarospa Bath Complex is hosting weekly Miki Mini Parties from 2 p.m., bringing lively family animation to the upstairs Gyerekvilág (Kids’ World) level of the Aqua-Palace Adventure Bath. It’s the perfect weekend fix for kids and parents alike: themed games, cheerful hosts, and a splashy backdrop in Hungary’s most famous spa town.
Dates You Can Count On
Mark the early-year Saturdays: January 31, February 7, February 14, and February 21, all in Hajdúszoboszló. The series continues throughout the year, with additional dates added regularly. The organizers reserve the right to change times and programs, so it’s smart to check before you go.
Where It All Happens
The action is inside Aqua-Palace, part of the Hungarospa complex, at 1–3 Szent István Park, Hajdúszoboszló, ZIP 4200. Families head straight to the Kids’ World level upstairs for the animated party atmosphere. Expect a crowd of excited little ones and plenty of activities to burn energy while parents relax close by.
Stay Close: Accommodation Picks Near the Baths
If you’re making a weekend of it, there’s no shortage of stays within strolling distance of the pools. One holiday house sits about 400 meters (1,312 feet) from the beach-style strand, a quick 5-minute walk, and is divided into four upstairs apartments with separate entrances: two doubles, one for four, and one for five—open all year.
In the garden district, a quiet guesthouse draws visitors looking for undisturbed downtime. It’s peaceful, calm, and just minutes on foot from the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Bath (Béke Fürdő), ideal for those seeking treatments.
A centrally located pension near the airport is 100 meters (328 feet) from the strand and 400 meters (1,312 feet) from the Aquapark and the new Extreme Slide Park. The Árpád swimming hall and the Hungarospa therapy building are next door, with a full menu of therapeutic treatments for those who need them.
Alice Apartman has a family feel, opened in 2010 in a quiet neighborhood close to the strand, thermal bath, and, naturally, Aqua-Palace. Another apartment house in the resort quarter sits a comfortable 5-minute walk from the world-famous baths, also in a calm setting.
On Kölcsey and Major streets, newly built apartments are 100 and 200 meters (328 and 656 feet) from the strand entrance. Restaurants, a market, and grocery shops are nearby—super handy with kids in tow.
One apartment house in the resort center opened in June 2009, 200 meters (656 feet) from the strand and about 150 meters (492 feet) from the bus station, combining convenience with quiet. A guesthouse tucked into a cul-de-sac means no through traffic, free courtyard parking, and a shared breakfast kitchen—open year-round.
Right in the heart of Hajdúszoboszló, another lodging option puts you just a few minutes’ walk from the medical spa. For a splash of luxury, Apartman Evelin sits about 200 meters (656 feet) from the baths and tempts with its own private pool in the courtyard.
Where to Eat and Linger
A local hotel and restaurant sits in the heart of eastern Hungary’s tourism triangle, with the city’s healing waters helping guests through both bathing and drinking cures. It’s 300 meters (984 feet) from the medical spa entrance and 500 meters (1,640 feet) from the city center.
Kemencés Csárda (Kemencés Inn) in Hajdúszoboszló keeps Great Plain (Alföld) traditions alive in a modern way, channeling the old roadside inns with a menu and interior designed to showcase heritage for both locals and visitors.
Close to the medical spa, a romantic and elegant complex offers a 150-seat covered terrace and an 80-seat panoramic terrace upstairs—crowd-pleasing in any season. Major Panzió és Étterem (Major Pension and Restaurant), with its apartments, sits in a quiet patch of the bath district: 8 minutes on foot to the winter entrance and 2 minutes to the summer one.
A large, family- and kid-friendly hotel in the resort area comes with its own medical and wellness wing. Among its 107 rooms: classic doubles and triples, 2+2 family apartments, family rooms with bunk beds (2 beds + bunk), and suites for those seeking luxury. Expect color TVs, minibars, telephones, in-room safes, and some rooms with air-conditioning and balconies, all with private bathrooms.
Mirage Restaurant is back, fully remodeled with an exclusive vibe, a cozy pálinka wall, a seasonal menu, and guest-focused service. Another spot pairs a charming restaurant with a patisserie, a broad drinks list, and 13 room types for business travelers, couples, families, and the young at heart. Finishes are elegant, comforts are modern, and you can choose rooms with bathtubs or shower cabins.
Nr. 8 is a friendly eatery in the bath district, open day and night. Come with family or friends and take your pick from classic or more adventurous grill plates. The summer and winter terrace is a must, especially the nearly 80-seat pergola—one of the city’s largest—for cocktails and warming drinks from April through late November.
Craving something simple? Just a minute from the Hungarospa Medical Spa entrance, a pancake bar serves both sweet and savory crêpes, plus standouts in lemonade, cocktails, specialty coffee, and artisanal ice cream.
And if you want to be steps from the action, a pension 50 meters (164 feet) from the baths offers a calm, family feel with 2 double rooms and eight 4-bed rooms, all with unique king beds. Expect spacious balconies, private bathrooms, TVs, fridges, a generous continental breakfast, and free gated parking.
