Hungarospa gives a stay in Hajdúszoboszló several different rhythms: medicinal pools for a quiet bath, Aqua Palace for indoor water play, and outdoor bathing in season. Pick the part that suits your group before buying a ticket. You can enjoy one area in a day; staying overnight makes it easier to try another and spend time in town.

Choose your bath and ticket
For warm-water bathing, start with the medicinal bath. For a family visit centered on indoor pools and slides, choose Aqua Palace and check the separate sauna charge. Lap swimmers have the Árpád indoor swimming pool. These are different admissions, so one ticket does not automatically cover the whole complex.
September 2026: the Aquapark and Premium Zone closed after September 6. The outdoor beach remains open through September 30 with fewer pools, so summer photographs do not represent the full autumn offer. The medicinal bath, Aqua Palace and indoor swimming pool operate year-round. Use the current pool notice to choose your area before comparing prices.
For a shorter visit, compare the afternoon price with the closing time of that particular area. If your hotel or campsite advertises bath access, read which facilities and re-entry rights the package includes. Arrange any medical treatment separately with the bath’s medical team.

What Exactly Does the Hungarospa Complex Include?
Hungarospa isn’t one bath. It’s an entire ecosystem of water facilities operating on different schedules. Understanding what’s included where (and what costs extra) requires a small briefing:
1. Medicinal Bath (Gyógyfürdő) – Year-Round
The serious stuff. This is where the original 1927 bath experience continues, with multiple pools of varying temperatures filled with that therapeutic golden-brown water. Open 7:00–19:00 daily.

2. Aqua Palace Indoor Adventure Bath – Year-Round
A massive indoor complex with wave pools, water slides, children’s areas, and a sauna world. This is where families come when the weather’s bad or when the outdoor beach is closed. Open 10:00–20:00 daily, pool closure at 19:30.

4. Beach/Strand (Strandfürdő) – Seasonal
The 15 outdoor pools across a massive green park area. This is the summer centerpiece, with everything from medicinal thermal pools to wave pools to children’s splash areas. Open May through September, hours vary by month.

How Much Does Hungarospa Cost in 2026?

Planning the journey
Plan rail journeys through MÁV and include the journey from Hajdúszoboszló station to the bath entrance. For a return from Budapest, choose one bathing area and check the last suitable train before buying tickets. An overnight stay gives you more flexibility; the length of the stay should follow your plans, rather than a minimum number of nights.

Two worthwhile stops in Hajdúszoboszló
The Harangház, or Bell House, in Szent István Park is an easy way to finish a bath day. Its collection of unusual aluminum bells and carved posts gives the park walk a focus.
For an indoor visit away from the pools, choose the Bocskai István Museum, which introduces the town’s history and heritage. Put the museum before a shorter bath or on a separate morning, checking its own opening hours. Both are in Hajdúszoboszló; Debrecen or Hortobágy belongs in a wider regional itinerary, with travel time set aside.

Good to know
Is Hungarospa open year-round?
The medicinal bath, the indoor Aqua Palace and the Árpád swimming pool run all year. The outdoor Strandfürdő runs 1 May to 30 September, opening with a reduced set of pools until mid-June and again through September. The Aquapark and the Premium Zone run 15 June to 6 September, and the first days of September depend on the weather.
Can I visit Hungarospa as a day trip from Budapest?
Yes, if you pick one bathing area and stay in it. The train takes about two hours twenty minutes each way, the medicinal bath closes at 19:00 and the Aqua Palace clears its pools at 19:30, so check the last useful train before you buy. A night in Hajdúszoboszló is what buys you a second area and an evening in town.
What is the difference between the Aqua Palace and the Beach (Strand)?
The Aqua Palace is the indoor adventure bath: fifteen pools, eight of them themed, slides and a sauna world charged on top, open every day 10:00 to 20:00 all year. The Strand is the outdoor park, up to fifteen pools at the height of summer, open May to September. The ticket logic is the part worth knowing. One ticket covers the Strand and the medicinal bath and you can cross between them as often as you like, while the Aqua Palace connects to both and still needs its own admission.
Is the water really brown? Is it safe?
It is golden-brown, and the colour comes from the bitumen and organic matter that rise with the iodine, bromine and salt. It is classified medicinal water and the bath's whole treatment programme is built on it. The bath does name conditions that rule the medicinal pools out: acute inflammatory illness, malignant disease, circulatory insufficiency, severe blood pressure problems, tuberculosis, serious central nervous system disease and infectious skin conditions.
Is Hungarospa suitable for young children?
For the play water, yes. The Aqua Palace first floor is a children's world with a baby pool, small slides and a changing and feeding room, and on the Strand the Delfin and Halacska paddling pools are the ones adults can get into with them, while children's pool I is for children only. Two limits the bath states plainly: it does not recommend the medicinal pools or the sauna for under-14s, because both load the circulation and the heart, and the big Aquapark slides start at 120 cm. We recommend a swim nappy for the pools, disposable or washable.
Can I get medical treatments at Hungarospa?
Yes, and for a lot of guests it is the whole point of coming. The bath runs its own rheumatology clinic, plus more than forty spa-medical treatments: mud packs, weight baths, underwater jet massage, carbonated baths, electrotherapy, soft laser. A course opens with a rheumatologist examination, and the bath's own position is that a bathing cure needs at least two weeks to do anything. Without a Hungarian TAJ card you buy a packaged cure priced in euro: the 7-day start cure with one examination, one check-up and five treatments is 130 EUR, the 21-day large cure with 45 treatments is 420 EUR, and bath entry and the sauna are included in both. Cures aimed at a single condition, among them lower-back pain, arthrosis, Bechterew's disease, osteoporosis, circulatory and gynaecological complaints, run 240, 380 and 500 EUR for 7, 14 and 21 days.
