Celebrate Children’s Day in Budapest!
Nothing says “Budapest spring” like pancakes in the park. In May, several local parks host open-air pancake events where you can try classic Hungarian-style crepes with jam, cocoa, or cottage cheese. It’s casual, family-friendly, and delightfully delicious.
🎈 More than just a celebration
Children’s Day in Budapest isn’t just about sweets and balloons — it’s a full-day experience that fills the city with joy, colour and family fun. Each year, the last weekend of May brings open-air festivals, cultural programs and playful adventures for kids of all ages. Whether you’re visiting the city or you’re a local family looking for something new, it’s the perfect chance to explore Budapest from a more playful perspective.
🌳 Where to go with kids?
One of the most popular locations is City Park (Városliget), just a short ride (or walk!) from Boho Bliss Apartment. There you’ll find:
- Outdoor games and activities
- Storytelling corners and puppet shows
- Food trucks with family-friendly bites
- Free live music and dance shows
- Creative workshops and face painting
Another highlight is the Budapest Zoo, which often offers discounted family tickets and special Children’s Day events — a great way to combine fun with learning.
☀️ Make a weekend of it
Planning to spend the whole day out? Pack a picnic, bring a blanket, and don’t forget sun protection. Many venues offer shaded areas and rest spots where kids can recharge between activities. If you’re staying at Boho Bliss, you can start your day with a light breakfast, grab some snacks from the local bakery just around the corner, and head out for adventure.
👨👩👧👦 A day the whole family will remember
Children’s Day in Budapest is more than just an event — it’s a memory in the making. From colourful bubbles and laughter in the park to special family photos in front of the Heroes’ Square statues, this is the kind of day your little ones will talk about long after it’s over.
So if you’re lucky enough to be in Budapest during this time of year, don’t miss it — and make Boho Bliss your cozy base for all the fun.
