Dive into Winter Fun at Budapest’s PlayDome: The City’s Ultimate Indoor Adventure Park
Budapest’s winters are magical — from twinkling Christmas lights to snow-dusted streets and steaming thermal baths, the Hungarian capital knows how to shine during the cold months. But if you’re visiting with kids or simply want to warm up while staying active, there’s a new winter favorite waiting for you: PlayDome Budapest, an indoor adventure park open from December 27, 2025, to February 22, 2026, inside the stunning Biodome at the Budapest Zoo & Botanical Garden.
A Winter Escape Filled with Joy
The PlayDome is the perfect place to shake off the chill when temperatures drop. Imagine bouncing on giant inflatables, racing down colorful slides, or piecing together creative builds in the LEGO zone — all without worrying about the weather outside. Whether you’re traveling as a family, a group of friends, or even as a couple seeking a dose of carefree fun, this pop-up adventure park offers a cozy, lively environment that invites everyone to play.
Young visitors can immerse themselves in imaginative play areas, while parents can rediscover their inner child through games and challenges. From board games to interactive installations, every corner of the PlayDome is designed to spark laughter and movement. And since it’s entirely indoors, it’s the perfect addition to your Budapest winter itinerary, no matter how frosty the day gets.

When and Where
The PlayDome is located in the Biodome, next to the Budapest Zoo, at 1146 Budapest, Állatkerti körút 16 — right in the heart of City Park (Városliget). This location makes it easy to combine with other attractions like Heroes’ Square, Szechényi Thermal Bath, or a cozy walk around Vajdahunyad Castle.
During the winter holidays (December 27 – January 4), the park is open daily from 10:00–14:00 and 15:00–20:00, except for December 31, when it’s closed. Starting January 5, weekday hours are from 14:00–19:00, while weekends follow the same two-session schedule.
Tickets are 4,000 HUF per person (about €10), and babies can enter for just 400 HUF. Entrance is valid for one session, and tickets are available both online and on-site, payable by card, cash, or SZÉP card.
Getting There
The PlayDome is easily accessible by public transportation — take the 72 trolleybus to the Állatkert stop, the M1 (Millennium Underground) to Szechényi Fürdő, or the tram 1 to Kacsóh Pongrác Street. If you’re driving, parking is available at PARKOLÓZOONA or along Állatkerti körút in designated paid spots.
Inside the Biodome, you’ll find well-maintained facilities, including restrooms, an accessible bathroom, and a baby-mother room for families with small children. Visitors should wear comfortable sportswear and socks (outdoor shoes and glasses must be removed for the activities). Small details like these ensure the experience is both safe and comfortable for everyone.
Safe Fun for All Ages
PlayDome offers an open invitation to move, laugh, and connect — but safety always comes first. Children under 14 can only enter with adult supervision, and most activities are suitable for ages 5 and up. The staff on site ensure everything runs smoothly and securely, so visitors can focus on what matters most: pure fun.
Please note that pets, balloons, scooters, and bicycles aren’t allowed inside, and food or drinks can only be consumed in designated areas. These simple rules help maintain a clean, stress-free environment where everyone can enjoy themselves.
A Must-Visit Winter Spot in Budapest
PlayDome Budapest is more than just an indoor playground — it’s a space for laughter, energy, and creativity. Whether you’re warming up after a morning stroll at Heroes’ Square or giving your kids a few hours of unforgettable adventure, the PlayDome brings together movement, imagination, and winter comfort under one vast roof.
So when the snowmen are built and the cold starts to bite, don’t head back to your hotel just yet — head to the PlayDome and jump into the joy!
