Activities and Programs
The day features a diverse range of activities for all interests and fitness levels. Try pilates on the second-floor terrace (bring your own yoga mat), check out the driving technical center with mini-ring activities for kids and technique demonstrations, or take an off-road taxi ride through the forest surrounding the circuit. Airsoft shooting, discounted go-kart racing, and a fascinating glimpse into police training exercises round out the program. A limited number of spaces are available for pilates, track tours, and off-road taxi rides, so on-site registration is recommended when you arrive.
Perfect for Families and Motorsport Enthusiasts
Whether you’re traveling with children or you’re a dedicated racing fan, Tiéd a Ring delivers something special. Kids enjoy the dedicated activities at the driving center and the thrill of the go-kart track, while adults can take in the architectural marvel of the renovated facilities and experience the unique sensation of standing on a world-class racing circuit. The combination of physical activities, technical demonstrations, and exclusive access makes this a standout Budapest event for families and motorsport lovers alike.
Planning Your Visit
Book your tickets in advance through the Hungaroring Shop to secure your spot, especially if you’re interested in the limited-capacity activities like pilates or off-road taxi rides.

If you’re a local resident of Mogyoród or Kerepesi, bring your ID card for free entry – the same applies to children under 10 with a student ID.
