Hajdúszoboszló’s sprawling Hungarospa complex is doubling down on family fun in 2025, rolling out playful kids’ programs all year at the Aqua-Palace Indoor Adventure Bath. Every Saturday at 2 p.m., the Miki Mini Party takes over the upstairs Gyerekvilág level with family animation, games, and splashy activities designed for little whirlwinds who never sit still. The schedule lands perfectly for autumn and early winter trips, with confirmed dates on November 15, 22, 29, and December 6. The action happens at 1–3 Szent István Park in the heart of Europe’s favorite thermal spa town—easy to find, easier to love.
Parents can pick up the phone to lock in plans, then relax: everything is built around making family Saturdays a delight. The Aqua-Palace itself is the rainy-day superhero of the Hungarospa empire, with themed pools, slides, and toasty waters that keep the fun flowing even when the weather won’t. The Gyerekvilág floor is kitted out with kid-friendly pools and safe play areas, so families can dive in without stress. Photo ops abound, though the official promo image keeps things simple with a clean stock shot from Pixabay.
When, Where, How
Mark the weekends. The Miki Mini Party kicks off every Saturday at 2 p.m. on the Gyerekvilág level of the Aqua-Palace. The late 2025 dates include November 15, 22, 29, and December 6 in Hajdúszoboszló. It’s a neat add-on to a spa weekend, especially if the grown-ups plan to dip into the healing thermal waters before or after the kids run wild.
Make It a Weekend: Stays Near the Splash
The area around the baths is packed with accommodations suited to families, couples, and wellness seekers—many just a few minutes’ walk from the pools. Expect quiet garden neighborhoods, easy access to the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő), and self-catering options that keep mornings low-pressure.
Several apartment houses cluster 400 meters from the beach-style strand zone—about a five-minute stroll. Look for upper-floor setups with four separate entrances, hosting two double apartments, one for four, and one for five, open year-round. Ideal for extended family groups who want to stick together but still need a little space.
Prefer absolute calm? Guesthouses in Hajdúszoboszló’s resort district lean into peace and quiet. Garden suburbs promise that sweet silence you barely remember exists, while the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Baths are just minutes away on foot. Many of these places offer a shared breakfast kitchen and free on-site parking—simple comforts that make short breaks painless.
If proximity trumps everything, set your sights on the lively zone right by the airport and the main beach. There’s a pension 100 meters from the strand and 400 meters from both the Aquapark and the newer Extreme Slide Park—close enough for midday nap breaks or swimsuit changes without drama.
Alice Apartman has that home-away-from-home feel, opened in 2010 in a peaceful pocket still within walking distance of the strand, thermal spa, and of course the Aqua-Palace. Another apartment house in the resort quarter sits a comfy five-minute walk from the famous baths, set on a calm, leafy street perfect for an after-dinner stroll.
For travelers who love new builds, fresh apartments on Kölcsey and Major streets stand just 100 and 200 meters from the strand entrance, surrounded by restaurants, a market, and grocery stores. Stock the fridge, walk to the water, call it a day well spent.
One apartment house, opened in June 2009, sits in the quiet core of the spa resort area, 200 meters from the strand and a quick 150-meter hop from the bus station—gold for car-free families. Add in a guesthouse tucked on a dead-end street with zero through traffic, and you’ve got options that prioritize rest. Parking’s free, and the doors stay open all year.
Looking for something a touch luxe? Apartman Evelin keeps things plush, just 200 meters from the baths with a private pool waiting in the courtyard. It’s a favorite for families who want a tranquil base with a perk or two after a day chasing slides.
Eat Like You Mean It
Hajdúszoboszló keeps the food scene honest and hearty. A hotel and restaurant sits near the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) entrance—about 300 meters from the spa and 500 from the town center—handy for anyone who wants minimal logistics.
Kemencés Csárda reimagines the old roadside inn tradition of the Great Hungarian Plain for modern tastes, with a menu and interior shaped by heritage but geared to now. The idea is simple: keep the soul, lose the dust. Over by the spa, Lorena Restaurant (Lorena Étterem) goes romantic and elegant without getting stuffy—perfect for a relaxed family dinner after the chlorine has worked its magic. Major Pension and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem), tucked into a quiet corner of the bath district, is an easy walk from both the winter and summer entrances of the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő)—eight minutes to one, two minutes to the other.
Why Kids Love It
Because it’s not just water. The Miki Mini Party layers in animation-style games, group fun, and that cheerful chaos kids crave, while the Aqua-Palace keeps the pools warm and the slides ready. Parents get a clear schedule, nearby stays, and plenty of places to refuel. The result: a Saturday that runs itself—and a town that knows exactly how to build a family weekend around a splash.
