Skip The Line: Aeropark Aviation Museum Entrance Ticket

Very interesting and exciting

A 14:20 return flight to the UK left a slot open to fill an hour or two after a gentle start to the day. My friend suggested this to fill the gap,and I'm glad he did! We didn't have time for the 'extras' such as flight simulators, nor the Terminal 2 apron tour, which all sound interesting. We were, however, extremely lucky to have a retired pilot explain his experience of flying some of the aircraft to us. It is equally sad, that so many personal stories will soon lost. My friend and I already plan a longer re-visit to experience the flight simulator and apron tour! If, like me, you have a vague interest in how things work this is well worth a visit, especially if you have a tour guide!

We tagged this on to our last day on a visit to Budapest and were very glad that we did. To get there we took the bus to the airport from there a paved path links you past the car parks to the airpark. On display are a selection of aircraft many of which are from the former Hungarian airline "Malev". It would have possible to get right up close to the aircraft anyway but on the day of our visit it was national museums day. Because of that there were extra activities going on and all the aircraft were attended by airpark staff who allowed you onboard to look around and try the drivers seat! Viewing the exhibits from the viewpoint of someone familiar with western aircraft it was very interesting to see the differences between the East and West technologies.

Definitely open, see website for times. A 10 min walk on an easy footpath from main airport terminal.A wonderful collection of old aircraft from the 1970s and earlier plus lots of more recent ground equipment . Almost nowhere else has these aircraft. Super friendly guides, we were given a detailed tour by the very knowledgeable Peter. Nice little shop with lots of aviation items.

Located just beside Terminal 2 on Budapest International Ferenc Liszt Airport. You can come by your vehicle and park for free in front of the Museum, or come by bus Airport Express 100E, 200E, and then walk about 10 minutes from the terminal. The bus Airport Express 100E ticket is 2500 HUF (6.6 EUR) from the Budapest Center in one direction. Aeropark is an open-air aviation museum located near to Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Budapest, Hungary. It is dedicated to the history of Hungarian civil aviation and includes numerous aircraft types flown by the now-defunct national airline Malév. Aeropark also features a flying simulator for tourists, as well as a souvenir shop filled with plane models and Malév memorabilia. Most of Aeropark's aircrafts are wheelchair-accessible. Ticket price for the Aeropark Museum is 3200 HUF (8.3 EUR) for adults, and 2000 HUF (5.2 EUR) for children and seniors. The exhibition covers nearly the entire history of Hungarian public aviation over the last 70 years, from the Li-2 to the Tu-154, which was in service until the turn of the millennium, and the L-410, which is still operational today, as well as an Airbus A320neo simulator and numerous pieces of airport ground service equipment. You can stay as much as you like, but plan minimum 2 hours. Staff is ready to help you and to open the cockpit on most of the planes, and you can ask them anything. They are very nice, polite and know English language. We recommend this attraction to everyone!

This activity is not at all Tourist Friendly. There was nothing written in English, everything in Hungarian. There was not even an Audio Guide. People were having a attitude and there is not even a tour. This price is only price of entrance. The activities inside the Museum have another price. Also this Museum is outside of the city. So please save your time and money and visit something within the City.

One of the best Aviation Museums in Europe. There are 18 airframes here but they are all accessible, well presented and to a Western european visitor have high rarity value. The Li-2, Il-14 and Kamov are superb the Li -2 having original interior and beautifully preserved. The museum staff are friendly and very knowledgeable (not something you find everywhere) and deserve support. If you can plan ahead (at least 4 days) you can arrange a tour of the nearby airport - which include AIRSIDE and the airport although not the busiest has some fabulous visitors. 10/10 for this

Quite a few planes, helicopters and cars (fire engine, police car, airport service vehicles) to see. Unfortunately most of them were not open so we could see them only from the outside, which was a bit of a disappointment. To make it a good value for money we'd expect all of them to be accessible from the inside as well. The guides were sitting in the cockpits of all the bigger planes that we could visit, which was a bit uncomfortable. We'd rather be alone inside for spontaneous selfies and so on 😉 It would be better if the guide were available outside instead. We were lucky, because it was cloudy and a bit windy during our visit, but don't go there when it's hot and sunny as there's no shade anywhere and obviously no air conditioning inside the planes.

I visited the aeropark in the 7th of November 2020. My friend and I traveled from the city center to airport area where the aero park is located. As usual, it is very convienet to travel in Budapest due to the excellent and well-organized transportation system. We reached at 12:45 PM approximately. At the first glance, It was a very nice, cosy, and historic place. At the entrance, we bought two tickets, as we are students we got a modest discount, so the total amount was 2,0000 HUF. The staff is really friendly and cooperative. We visited all planes some of them are opened, while others are closed. The place gives you feeling of how this great and fabulous country has a diverse culture and reaches history. We met a decent retired pilot. He told us many stories about airplanes and aviation history in Hungary. He was very humble and decent as all Hungarian fellow. At the end of our trip we had the same initial impression about that amazing place. I highly recommend to visit this great place and enjoy the scenes there.

I travel to Budapest a *lot* visiting family and I’ve never had a chance to visit this attraction. I changed it this time. The aircraft and ground handling elements are from the time of the Hungarian airline, MALEV and almost all of the equipment likewise, although some (e.g. radar set) has a different manufacturer name. A young volunteer, whose name I’m ashamed to say I didn’t get, acted as our (free) guide and had keys to all of the aircraft - unlike a lot of aviation museums, one can get up close and personal with the airframes here, a real boon. Being a Cold War kid, with a dad in the RAF, I never thought I’d ever get to see the inside of aircraft manufactured by Tupolev, Yakolev, Ilyushin and Antonov, never mind sit in the captains seat and be talked through the controls by a young man who I suspect has a bright future as a commercial pilot. If, like me, you’re an aviation enthusiast, this is the place for you.

We had an amazing time visiting this Aeropark. The people working there are so friendly and the aircrafts very interesting. We had the park almost to ourselves and we enjoyed speaking with some of the older employees who used to work with these mighty mashines. Also the small shop are great selling snacks and everything related to aviation.

One of the best airplane museums I’ve visited. Especially since Malév no longer exists. Met the owner, a super nice guy. As well as former flight engineers and avionics technicians. A great experience!

The 40-minute taxi ride from the center of Budapest was worth it. We never saw as many airplanes from the inside as we did here. With super friendly people answering questions in perfect English. Some very interesting pieces. A shame that we went during the week when the flight simulators are not working

The collection of numerous old planes, most of which can also be entered, as well as a TU-134 simulator, make the Aeropark worth seeing! The simulator flight was very interesting, we were well looked after!

It's good, there are about 20 aircraft and three can be visited, large luggage can be borrowed from the souvenir shop. There are many Hungarian emperors to make aircraft and passenger aircraft. I personally like helicopters, so I took some pictures of helicopters.

For enthusiasts it is always interesting to see an Aeronautics museum but this is really small and, despite the presence of some staff who give explanations, there are no explanatory signs on every plane, much less in English. It is also unclear whether the simulator can be used.

Idén is szuper volt az Ikarus találkozó, jövőre is jövünk. Remélem addigra elkészül a Palt Ikarus felújítása is. Utoljára foncs állapotban láttuk.

Very great exhibition, perfect for airplane fans! Unfortunately, many planes were locked but still a great experience. Price good and about 10 min walk from the airport.

If you fly with a connection in Budapest and there is no time or desire to move to the city, and there is also no desire to sit in the Airport building, you can walk. There's not much to see, only half a dozen samples. Maybe the kids will be interested.

Very little to see. Of all the planes that were there, you could only see inside 3 aircraft. Simulator what just a projected screen with a chair and console not worth it either.
