Tips & Advice

  • Buy an admission ticket in advance for a specific date and time, since participation requires a pre-purchased timed ticket.
  • Arrive 15–20 minutes before departure; trains cannot wait, and nearby free parking spaces are limited in number.
  • Use the numbered seat assigned on your ticket; standing or taking another seat is not permitted on the train.
  • Strollers are allowed in limited numbers, so bring one only if it folds compactly and fits safely under a seat or at a carriage end.
  • Dress for winter conditions because some program elements are outdoors, even though the performances take place in covered, heated venues.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Children aged 0–2 enter free if they travel on an adult’s lap and do not occupy a separate train seat.
  • Organized groups can request individual times and discounted options.
  • Weekday morning sessions are offered separately from weekday afternoon/evening and weekend sessions.
  • The Santa package is optional, requires an extra ticket, and is not included with the admission ticket.
  • Visitors can choose a show-only ticket to attend at Lillafüred without the train, or a ticket including the round-trip train journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the event suitable for?

The Mesebirodalom offers entertainment for all ages; children and adults need tickets, while children aged 0–2 can attend free if they sit on an adult’s lap on the train and use no separate seat.

Do I need to book ahead, or can I buy tickets there?

Participation requires a ticket for a specific date and time, and places are limited. Advance booking is recommended; tickets may also be available at Lillafüred, subject to availability.

What happens during the visit?

The experience includes a train ride through the winter forest with krampus characters, children’s performances, a platform party with story characters, a meeting with Santa and an illuminated forest.

Can I bring a stroller, and are seats assigned on the train?

Train tickets have numbered seats, and standing or using a different seat is not allowed. A limited number of strollers can travel if they fold small enough to fit safely under a seat or at the end of a carriage.

What if a child has food sensitivities?

The optional Santa package may contain allergens. Bring your own package and tell the krampus handing out packages; you do not need to buy a package ticket in that case.
