Magic Grove

Magic Grove (Varázsliget) transforms the grounds of Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest's City Park into a fairy-tale Christmas wonderland designed especially for families with children. This enchanting seasonal attraction combines traditional Christmas market elements with exciting amusement park features against the backdrop of one of Budapest's most picturesque landmarks. The market features a craft fair showcasing Hungarian artisans, food stalls serving traditional treats like chimney cakes and roasted chestnuts, and warming beverages including mulled wine and hot chocolate. What sets Magic Grove apart are its magical attractions: a giant Ferris wheel offering panoramic views of City Park, a charming carousel with reindeer and carriages, and a miniature railway that delights young visitors. The VarázsMűhely (Magic Workshop) provides free creative activities where children can craft their own fairy wings and wands under the guidance of costumed characters. The VarázsÚt (Magic Path) leads families on an interactive adventure through the market with hidden surprises and puzzles, rewarding participants with a special Magic Sign. With extended hours on weekends and special holiday programming, Magic Grove creates an immersive festive experience that captures the imagination of children while parents enjoy the romantic castle setting and traditional Hungarian Christmas atmosphere. Plan to spend at least 2-3 hours to fully experience all the attractions and activities this family-focused Christmas market offers.
