City Park Ice Rink Opening Day

The City Park Ice Rink, the capital’s most atmospheric and popular ice-skating venue, will open its doors on November 20.

The outdoor ice rink covers more than 12,000 square metres and has been welcoming winter sports enthusiasts for over 150 years. Given the popularity of the park, the organisers are expecting visitors with several thousand pairs of rental skates and the usual team of professional skating instructors.

Tickets and skate rental
– Adult admission cost 3,500 HUF, while during peak periods – Friday evenings and weekends – it was 4,500 HUF. Student and senior tickets cost 2,500 HUF and 3,500 HUF respectively during these same periods.
– Visitors without their own skates also need to factor in rental costs. Last year, renting a pair of skates cost 3,500 HUF, plus a refundable deposit of 2,000 HUF per pair. Helmets were available for rent for 1,500 HUF, while younger children could use a skating aid (seal-shaped support) for 1,000 HUF per half hour. A season pass may also be worthwhile for regular visitors: last year, a ten-entry adult pass cost 31,500 HUF, bringing the price per visit down to 3,150 HUF.
