Those Fairytale Outdoor Playgrounds In Budapest

There are some outdoor playgrounds full of fairy tales in various districts of Budapest. The unique design allows children to play in a different way.

District 1: Budavári Mátyás király Playground

Address: 1014 Budapest, Szentháromság tér

The location of the playground is great, not far from the castle district and the Matthias church. The little ones love the swings and sand pools, while the older ones can climb the underpass and learn about the legend of the famous Hungarian King Matthias through vivid illustrations. In addition to this playground, there are other themed playgrounds for children in Zone 1, such as "Vuk játszótér" and "Pom Pom játszótér".

District 2: Zöld Péter Folk Tale Playground

Address: 1024 Budapest, Kis Rókus utca 16-20.

Built in 2009, the playground is one of the oldest themed playgrounds in Budapest and is said to be one of the most popular and popular outdoor playgrounds for children by parents. It is located in the Millenáris Park century park in Buda. Children can meet characters from various fairy tales, such as the little pigherd who greets guests at the door. Since the ground of the playground is full of pebbles, it is recommended that children do not wear open-toed shoes to play.

District 3: Békás Playground

Address: 1038Budapest, Templom utca

The Békás playground is a bit far from the city center, but it can be reached by train from the outskirts of Budapest. The playground is quiet enough for the little ones to play, and the adults can play table tennis or exercise at the stadium with a variety of outdoor sports facilities.

District 8: mYnest Playground

Address: 1083Budapest, Illés utca 25.

This playground is part of the Botanical Garden of the Rowland University. Instead of providing children with various outdoor entertainment facilities like a traditional playground, it provides a place to watch birds up close in the botanical garden. This small tower made of wood is waterproof, and there is heating in winter, and children can reach it by climbing a ladder.

District 11: Cerka-firka Playground

Address: 1118 Gellérthegy, Búsuló Juhász (Citadella)

The playground is located on Gellért Hill in Hungary. Looking at the giant pencils in the park, adults and children will feel small. In this surreal world, many things are different from their practical uses in life. For example, pencils are part of the climbing frame, pencil sharpeners are equipped with treadmills, and trampolines and sand pools are the cherry on top of the mountain. Take bus number 27 from Móricz Zsigmond square and get off at Búsuló Juhász stop, walk a little further up the hill and you will reach the giant "pencil box".

District 12: Margaréta Street Playground

Address: 1126Budapest, Margaréta utca 5-21.

The playground is like a small village, located near the Mom Park shopping mall in Buda. There are great recreational facilities like a climbable tractor, sand pool, rubber-covered basketball court, ping pong table and more.

District 13: Bóbita Playground

Address: 1133Budapest, Kárpát utca 23.

The playground is located in the garden of the RaM Colosseum Cultural Centre. All real and imagined characters, frogs, grasshoppers, piglets, etc. are the main characters in the poems of the Hungarian poet Sándor Weöres. Children can play climbing, swings, slides, etc. There are also some cute blackboards that allow kids to use their imaginations and doodle with chalk.

District 14: Holnemvolt Park

Address: 1146Budapest, Állatkerti körút 14-16.

The last children's playground I recommend is a larger and prettier "fairy tale world". Holnemvolt Park, located inside the Budapest Zoo, is being expanded with two new theme parks. There, kids can experience a versatile roller coaster, a charming castle, a century-old carousel, and more.
