Time Heist
Time Heist welcomes you with two new rooms! In autumn, Time Heist offers exciting escape rooms, and in addition to the already popular rooms, visitors can now solve two new puzzles. The Mystery Inc. room is set in a haunted castle where locals hear strange noises at night. The Mystery Inc. team is already investigating the case, but part of the team has disappeared, and it’s up to you to unravel the mystery and find the culprits. You’ll be aided by logic, agility, and a dog willing to do anything for snacks. The Horror Stories room takes you to a closed psychiatric hospital with dark walls hiding terrible secrets. Dr. Grey, who once led the hospital, always pushed the boundaries with his psychological experiments, and the townspeople still tell eerie stories. Bravery is essential as you’ll encounter many twisted creatures on your way.

Children’s Railway
The Children’s Railway is a fun outing any time of year, but during the holiday season, it becomes extra magical as during Advent, the Children’s Railway transforms a special carriage into a festive holiday journey.

As it rolls along the tracks, it brings holiday cheer to all aboard. The ride runs on the regular schedule, departing Hűvösvölgy at even hours and Széchenyi-hegy at odd hours. Climb aboard and let the magic of the season carry you away!
