Super kind lady selling the tickets. It's a part of Budapest you forget was history there. Old USSR and the statues to remind you of where you are standing. It was absolutely freezing the day we went so highly recommend warm clothes. They sold coffee and other drinks that helped.

Nice for a sunny day stroll It's indeed outside if the city, but public transport in Budapest ia among the best, if not the best in Europe. Got there very easily using Google maps Statues, exhibition and a Trabant car

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting this hidden gem just an hour from Budapest city center. The journey was straightforward, especially by public transport, and the experience was well worth the trip. As you arrive, you’re welcomed by imposing statues of Lenin, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels at the entrance, immediately setting the stage for the park’s distinctly Soviet atmosphere. Tickets can be purchased on-site, along with a detailed guidebook explaining the significance of the statues. Additionally, there’s a selection of Soviet-style memorabilia for sale, including a humorous parody of a Soviet passport, which I found particularly entertaining. For those seeking a deeper understanding, guided tours are available, though they need to be arranged in advance. The statues themselves are striking and serve as powerful historical reminders. Near the ticket office, there’s a vintage Trabant car where visitors can hop inside and take photos—a playful nod to the era. Close to the entrance, you’ll also find a small barrack featuring an exhibition about Hungary’s communist government, which ruled until the transition to democracy in 1989. The exhibition includes a fascinating documentary said to contain footage used in espionage training for new recruits. I found it to be an especially intriguing and thought-provoking part of the visit.

Bruh! This place is epic! So many authentic Soviet monuments collected in one area instead of being destroyed. There are also vintage pins and medals to purchase at the ticket office. The museum gives you great context to what you are viewing.

Highly highly recommend the park and the guided tour and take some pocket money for the fab postcards and CCCP related memorabilia / I took the bus (101e) from the bus station in Budapest which was cheap and quick - spent about 2 hours at the park and the tour was worth every penny ! Note do not happen every day so check and book in advance
