A Haunted Makeover for the Palm House
For one night, the Palm House will become the centre of a mysterious Halloween experience. Spooky decorations, atmospheric lighting and a candlelit mood will transform the space, while a DJ provides the evening’s soundtrack.
It’s a different way to spend the evening before Halloween in Budapest: soaking up the themed surroundings and entertainment while making thermal bathing part of your night.
Four Hours of Bathing, Saunas and Steam Rooms
The Halloween ticket includes four hours of bath use on Friday evening, with access to the indoor and outdoor pools, saunas and steam rooms. Cabin changing is included, along with the use of a towel and bathrobe.
That gives you time to combine the Palm House celebrations with the wider bathing experience rather than spending the entire evening in one event space. For travellers, the included towel and bathrobe also mean a little less to pack.
The exact four-hour admission window has not been stated, so check your arrival time and the event schedule when booking.

A Welcome Drink and a Cocktail Show
A glass of sparkling wine welcomes you on arrival, setting the tone for the evening. Later, a cocktail show adds a theatrical touch to the programme, followed by a specially created cocktail for each participant.
Both drinks are included in the Halloween package, alongside the DJ entertainment and entry to the decorated Palm House.
Is the Longevity Sauna Ritual Included?
The supplied information also describes a Longevity Sauna Ritual at the Phoenix Sauna, but it does not confirm that this experience is included in the Halloween ticket.
The programme features three guided sessions—Purify, Energise and Restore—combining heat, music, aromas and body-care rituals. Each sauna session lasts approximately 15–20 minutes, with breaks in a dedicated relaxation area. The complete experience takes around three to three and a half hours, and the guided sessions are swimwear-free.
If you want to take part, check availability and booking requirements separately. The general sauna access included with the Halloween ticket should not be confused with admission to this guided programme.

The event takes place on October 30, 2026, at the Palm House inside Széchenyi Thermal Bath. Before booking, confirm the start and finish times, ticket price, entry conditions and any age restrictions, as these details were not included in the announcement.
