Aquarena Water Theme Park — Attraction in Gödöllő Regional Unit

We visited this place after a long time. It is enjoyable for both families and friends. Safe for children as there are plentiful places to have fun even for the littlest ones and there’s enough lifeguards everywhere. Also exciting for teenagers and adults with all those rides. The blue Rafting water slide is so much fun although the lifeguard/supporting guy after the first bend rushes a bit too hard/faster than necessary for progress. We used to have fun there in the past causing a little congestion and that fun is gone now. I get why they’re doing it but it kills a huge part of the fun. I found the lazy river a bit odd, they seem to have stopped allowing people to enjoy a ride (another change from the past which to the wrong direction) for a full round there using the mattresses. I’m guessing they simply don’t have enough of them. It definitely requires a change! Most slides are fun and enjoyable, from the open to the closed/dark ones to the funny 6 slides back to back where you can race or watch the others struggling to breath till they reach the end. ‘Free fall’ slide is the best! Not only it is the fastest and greatest fun but it has the shortest queue especially in the afternoon (I guess most people are simply afraid of going down this one) when queues tend to build up, making you wait sometimes over 15 minutes for a ride - which is not so fun. And it was a weekday! I always avoid this place on weekends based on experience as waiting for one slide for almost 30 minutes (especially in the afternoon) kills all the fun and time. Finally, the restaurant operates flawlessly! High five to the ladies and gents there. They’re very organized, kind and fast! Most of the food is available right away or within minutes (including lángos and other freshly fried food) and even if a queue is built up, you can get through within a few minutes. The portion you get is fresh, delicious and way more generous than most of the other beach and resort places that think they’re kind of Michelin star holders. We will return next...

Pros: Clear water Numerous waterside attractions Jacuzzi surrounded by coniferous trees High-quality water equipment

Cons: Dangerous Waterslides: The traffic lights for the waterslides are broken, making it incredibly dangerous. I got stuck in the middle of a dark slide and, after a few moments, managed to move again. However, just five seconds after I finished, the next person came down. How is this even possible? Why aren’t the safety lights working properly? Some lights work while others don’t. I saw engineers trying to fix one of the broken lights, but the slide remained operational. Terrifying! Staircase Issues: The staircase with artificial covering, which is comfortable to walk on without slippers (as required by the water park), was closed. The main staircase, on the other hand, was dirty. Why not clean the stairs or let us use the second one? Caretakers forbid using it with water tubes, even though it looks safer. Premature Closure of Supplies: Lifeguards selectively take away water supplies 35 minutes before closing time. Why not make a central announcement about the closure? **Difficult to Find Bus. I was not able to find. Lack of Clocks: There aren’t enough clocks around the site Paid Key Lockers: The box with the key is paid. Maybe this is standard for water parks, but it felt inconvenient.

A small idea: to add a couple of places to hide from the sun so that you can rest for a few minutes.

General: Overall, it's an okay experience, but you should be very cautious about your safety. There is no guarantee that they have proper control over the waterslides, especially with the broken traffic lights. Truly a...

Most expensive waterpark in Hungary, and doesn't give much in exchange. Has not been refurbished or properly cleaned since the opening I'm pretty sure. Slides are dirty, there is mold between tiles here and there, everything could use a bit of fresh paint and thorough cleaning. The facilities were build using cheap material which deteriorates quickly, meaning toilets, basins look like they're from the 80's. Not very clean either. Restaurants are horrible, nobody gives a damn to put out a little decoration at least to cover up the decay of the years, food is also expensive, poor quality. We had the most horrible "lángos" EVER. Flat, I mean FLAT like a freekin' pita bread, dough is heavy, tasteless. I could go on and on, it's just a huge disappointment. Slides are okay though, nothing special, don't expect much, the usual stuff, but at least you get something for the horrendous entrance fees, but very small satisfaction to be honest... We are never to return for sure and I do not recommend anyone going here. There are better options. By the way, the website should have given it away. They don't have an extensive photo gallery or promo videos. No wonder why. The investors built this a few years ago and since then they are trying to get their money back, but not investing another penny to keep up the standards, or god forbid, make improvements. That"s the...
