Traveler reviews
Vályi György
★★★★★Edited 6 years agoOne of the best playgrounds in Hungarian capital. Very good riverside location, with fresh air. Wide choice of toys to entertain children of various ages. The playground has a free, clean toilet of its own. Parking is almost impossible around, it's better to come here biking or walking.
