Adventure parks
Zamárdi Adventure Park
Zamárdi Adventure Park by Lake Balaton offers 18 adventure courses for children, teenagers and adults. You can complete adventure courses in the treetops in a natural woodland environment via rope bridges and other obstacles. It is especially recommended for groups, school trips and team building exercises.
You can also jump
The Power Fun bungee-jumping tower has an impressive height, offering great views to the bravest thrill-seekers. If you want a real adrenaline rush, you first have to climb the 12-metre-high tower. And once you’re up there, you can jump off. Once you are ready, you will have a 12-metre free fall from the highest point of Zamárdi adventure park.
If you need more speed
There is not only an adventure park in Zamárdi, there is something for speed-junkies, too. Young people like to spend at least an hour at the Zamárdiring Go-Kart Track. This is the Balaton region’s most beautiful, highest standard GOKART track, with a 550-metre-long non-flat track which features interesting turns including a banked turn. Kids’ go-karts are also available for children over 7, minimum height: 130cm.
Balatonboglár Adventure and Bob Park
The Balatonboglár Adventure Park is right next to the Globe Lookout Tower. There is a bob ride here, too, with great speeds. The 580-metre-long bob ride is also suitable for young children and there is also wall-climbing, archery, zip-wire and obstacle courses, as well as a playground for the little ones.
Sunshine, water, adrenaline!
Zoom around on the water
After all the adventures on land, you might want to try going in a 320 horsepower motor boat, which leaves from Siófok harbour. The trips are organised by professionals, tailored to your requirements. You can also hire yachts or use the water taxi. You can get your destinations without any traffic using the shortest possible routes. You can also take bicycles on the boats and you can stop in the middle of the lake to have a little swim in crystal clear waters.
A sea of adventures in Hungary’s largest Wibit water park.
The whole family can have plenty of fun at this great attraction. You can stay active and have great fun at the same time here. What is Wibit? A series of inflatables in the water, reminiscent of a giant bouncy castle. Since the whole structure is floating on the water, you can bounce all you want and then jump into the water. Featuring endless combinations of slides, climbing walls, ditches and towers for you to enjoy. All this in a 600 square metre area in Siófok, in the middle of Aranypart.
Residential sailing courses
If your child loves boats, adventure, and water, you can send them to a residential sailing course in Zamárdi, at any point in the summer. The courses are not only for children, the organisers cater for families and adults, too. It is possible to mix different types of residential courses so friends and siblings can attend together. The aim is to learn sailing while enjoying the summer and spend as much time as possible out in the waters of Lake Balaton.
