VIDEOS, PHOTOS: Astonishing aquapark opened near the Hungarian border

The greatest aquapark in the Banat region opened on 31 March and it is only a couple of hours’ drive from Budapest. Located in Timisoara (Temesvár), just a couple of kilometres from the Hungarian-Romanian border, it offers a variety of programs and leisure activities and you can reach it on the motorway from Hungary.

New aquapark opened close to the border

Turizmus.com wrote that the Amazonia Aquapark in Temesvár opened on 31 March and can become a competitor of the Hagymatikum in Makó or the Várkertfürdő in Gyula. Interestingly, the thermal water base is the same beneath Makó, Gyula and Temesvár, but Romania has not utilised that source of energy and tourist attraction yet.

The current investment cost EUR 20 million of which the European Union paid more than 5 million to create Amazonia. The complex expands 4.3 hectares and consists of three parts: an aquapark, a thermal bath and a spa. Of course, you may buy a ticket to each separately, if you want. Furthermore, there is a health centre with massage and therapeutic services.

Prices will not be too high compared to the services

The aquapark has four pools, multiple slides and exotic plants to create a feeling as if you were in the jungle. Five pools, including two jacuzzis are in the thermal bath, together with an outer and an inside pool and a cold water pool. In the wellness section, there are saunas, a steam bath, a salt sauna, thematic showers, a relaxation room and seven massage rooms. The health centre will also open soon.

From 1 June, the outer 50m pool will open with the kids’ pool, slides and playgrounds for children. Furthermore, the new hotel built for the bath will also be opened soon. The owner is a local businessman.

Tickets will not be expensive but will be higher than in Gyula. A combined ticket for adults will cost HUF 8000 (EUR 21.42) on weekdays and HUF 9000 (EUR 24) at the weekends. For kids, it will cost less than EUR 10 and 11. The day ticket for the aquapark will be EUR 17 for adults and EUR 9 for kids on weekdays. However, locals might choose Temesvár instead of Makó or Gyula because of the travel and parking costs.
