8. Indoor Play Centres

When the urban heat gets unbearable, indoor air-conditioned play centres offer a refreshing relief. Local families’ top favourite spots are Elevenpark in Újbuda with its 3000 m2 play area and MOM Park Play Centre. Football courts, crawling tunnels, inflatable castles and many more soft play opportunities await the little ones.

9. Cave tours in the city

When the thermometer hits 35° C, escape the heat and bring the whole family to explore the underground beauties of Budapest’s numerous caves. Our favorite picks are the Pálvölgyi Stalagmite Cave, Szemlő Mountain Cave and the thermokarstic Molnár János Cave.

10.  Children’s Railway 

One of Budapest’s most unique sights, the line of the Children’s Railway stretches among the lush Buda Hills. Unlike other railways though, this one is run by children. The lookout towers, forest playgrounds and other attractions that lie close to the stations make the Children’s Railway the ideal jumping-off point for a half-day trip for families.
