Sightseeing
Perfect at the summer with a huge grassy outside area with plenty of pools, slides, food and drink outlets. Everything is included in the tickets, so if you like waterslides as much as me, this is your place. At winter you can enjoy the indoor area, with thermal water, family fun area, sauna, steam and a spa!

Zalakaros
Parking is free in Zalakaros, although finding an empty space could take some time in peak times. Because of this, and because the size of the city it's best to get around by foot, or on bikes. ( 2 provided free of charge) Well maintained cycle network with clear signs!

The Musts!
