Frequently asked questions about the bath parties in Budapest.
What are the minimum and maximum age to take part in the bath party?
Minimum age: 18 +
Maximum age: none
The nocturnal VJ Szecska bath parties are cool, fun and unforgettable. There is no upper age limit, but there is a lower age limit set at 18 years of age (if the party guards are in doubt, you will be asked to show your ID/passport as proof of age).
Even though there is no age limit set, the general party crowd is about 20 – 40 years old, mostly 20-30 somethings enjoying themselves.
What is the music like at the bath party?
The spa party music is mostly triphop, funk, psychedelic music, so if like this sort of music and can enjoy the spa bath parties continuously re-painted with colourful laser beams, it is your chance to come and enjoy something unique. A must-see in Budapest, Hungary.
Can I use the whole bath complex during the spa party?
No, only the outdoor pools are open, the indoor thermal pools, saunas, plunge pools, octagonal pools, massage therapies, etc. are closed. Indeed they close each day at 7 pm in Szechenyi Baths. Your party ticket is only valid from after 9.30 pm when the party begins and is valid until 1.30 am when the party ends. If you wish to buy a daytime bath entry, you can do so in a separate purchase (day time bath entries bought online automatically include a fast track entry, unlike the party tickets)

I’d like to come February 20th and wanted to know how busy your going to be?
Dear Alli,
in general, Bath Parties are very popular, and they are usually of full house throughout the year, we trust this will be the same in February too.
Hello, I am coming in June 2016, I know dates aren’t available yet but do you do any parties during the weekdays not just saturdays?
Is posible to book tickets form a group of 20 friends for the 23 april 2016?
Dear Javi,
thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately party dates in April have not been confirmed yet (but most probably there will be a party on Apr 23 though).
I would like to inform you that there is a group discount ticket for the bath party: After every ten tickets you will get 1 free ticket. The way you can book it is 10+1 batch.
For date updates please visit the page again next year. Thank you for your patience.
How much do you recommend to bring in cash? I understand it goes on a card round neck but we are unsure how much we may need for drinks per night.
Many thanks
Claire
Hi Claire, it really depends on how much you drink at a party, and what kind of tickets you buy for the Budapest spa party. Some tickets include drink coupons (which are worth 1 glass of cocktail or 2 beers). So if you buy a plain ticket (regular or fast track, but without any extras like drink coupons), and you are a moderate drinker, let’s say drinking 1 or glasses of wine per hour, supposing you would stay between 10.30 pm and 3 am, all through the pool party duration, you would need about 16 Euros for drinking 2 glasses of wine (or 2 cans of beer) every hour.
Perhaps it is easier to plan if you know some of the drink prices at the bath party:
1 glass of wine (200 ml) 2 Euros
1 can of beer (500 ml) 2 Euros
1 shot (40ml) of Tequila, Gin, Brandy, Vodka, Rum etc. 4 Euros
1 BOTTLE of Sparkling Wine 12 – 13 Euros
Have a great party in Budapest, enjoy the nightlife and the thermal waters!
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen!

Johannes
