Nice and clean, not crowded. The pools are clean , and I love that the water is heated. Also has saunas. Great place for a nice warm sunny day 😎
Large car park, many options for indoor and outdoor pools. Food / drinks average. Muddy soils around swimming pools. Overall positive, however, improvements could be made.
Wonderful place. Large car park many pools and slides. Didnt have to wait long for the food or to get in. Slides were a bit slow and could be a bit faster. Food absolutely delicious and safe place. Floor is a bit painful and lifeguards are kind and respectful. Overall positive.
The park is great but fairly expensive for the area . Food selection is of grill variety and there are 3 -4 types of soup specifically for the area. We were served refried French fries that were replaced after some negotiations. Everything else clean and in order. Massage services are a disappointment for me . They advertise this service in 30 and 50 minutes sessions, but they have no availability for the summer … they keep pushing the 15 minutes sessions as a ‘gimmick’ . It a classical ‘bait and switch’ as these sessions are as expensive as the half hours sessions. This is the reason why they get a 4 star - rated by the lowest ranked service . Will change this review when the deceptive practices will disappear from the park
Nice place to spend the day. Very clean. Two thermal water pools with different temperatures. Nice slides. Nice indoor pool area as well, very handy if the weather doesn't play ball. Good selection of food available. Prices are not the cheapest but worth it if you spend the day there. Special reduced prices Monday to Friday after five. Not on the weekend though!
Multilingual personnel: romanian, hungarian and english. Very polite, warm, welcoming and happy to serve you. Standard ticket entrance: 35 ron ( 7-8 euro). Slide is free to use. Fish massage is 10 ron(2 euro) for 10 minutes. Sauna is 12 ron (2.5 euro). Both are paid separate from the standard ticket. General feeling: very pleasant and relaxing. The main inside pool has many areas for hydro-massage. Standard ticket also covers thermal baths. You can bring food from home if you wish and eat in the restaurant area (there are designated tables). The restaurant offers cooked meals for an average of 15-20 ron (3-4 euro) and also salads and beverages. Inside seats are free.outside seats are paid 10 ron per day. Does NOT have electric vehicle charging stations!
Lovely place for entertainment,in a sunny day.In most places,except the main restaurant,you need cash,to pay for a cold drink or a quick meal.Even on the entrance,there is just one POS..
Avoid avoid this place! Rude staff and aggressive, law cheap quality food and expesive, pools are overcrowded everyone is jumping, not safe for kids.if you try to complain to management they just laughed at you.

Amazing experience, the guide is extremely friendly and gives a full tour and explains in detail the history of the fortress. Easy access with near by parking lot. Strongly recommend going there, but in the winter could be a bit too chilly, so make sure you dress properly.
Amazing view s and very clean with lots of things to do. You can visit both the fortress and the celers which are all clean. They reinforce the covid 19 measures keeping everyone safe, which is reasurring. A must for everyone who likes medieval sites.
It's always an amazing place to visit. Amazing what was done and how welcoming the place is. And best of all is free. Kids love it. Family friendly.
The renovations are not that bad. There are a lot of things around the old castle which have nothing to do with that region nor history.
Once one of the strongest fortresses in northern Transylvania, was bulit by Bartholomeu Dragffy at 1481.
Great visit with an amazing guide! Thank you Marcel for this great time.
Interesting place for those interested in medieval history.
It is a small fortress, essentially one tower, but it is looked after and very cost effective:) 3 lei for adults. We really liked that there is some folk music when you enter the territory. Sets the mood :) Really hope that they can rebuilt more.

High quality plays both in Romanian and Hungarian language. Been there for a theatre festival, very well organized.
Beautiful theatre , especially the New Year gala show, always start your New Year with the Closing Show from this scenic theatre.
Genuinely the best form of public entertainment you can receive in Satu Mare, the seats are extremely comfortable and the plays are entertaining as well. From cryptic and emotional dances, to classic italian theater and improvisation shows, you can watch anything here. There's also projects which include volunteers and high schoolers such as focus youth and Teatru SMart. (The photos bellow are during the play "Fara Titlu, Inca" in the theater's studio)
For a great experience make sure you don't miss a play at this beautiful theatre. Even the building it offers a great journey on the history lane. First building was done in 1848 then demolished and the current one was finished in 1889. Enjoy!
The beautiful building has a pub and and a bistro in the same building. There are 2 language theater companies, Romanian and Hungarian. You can buy the tickets online
City's main theatre. There are plays on average once a month. It was recently renovated so it looks good both on the inside and outside.
Excellent acting in a nice theater building. Always a pleasure being there.
Very nice building. One of the few well preserved Hungarian theatre buildings in Romania

a beautiful park, we will be there in the summer
Lovely open space very well kept and a relaxing atmosphere to spend time in
With all this renovation looks great and clean!
The Christmas lights in the central park are a pretty sight and chage the look of the city. There are a fe vendor booths where you can buy small holiday gifts or enjoy a hot chocolate or tea.
A nice, quiet city, cheap but great local dishes at almost all restaurants nearby center.
Nice. A noisy park, especially during the day but also at night during the weekend, there are some more secluded areas. It's not a big deal. I recommend for those who are bored.
It was good to stay there to feel relax after the hepatic routine. This park is far better then the old one ! Recently they constructed all the park new ,and now its look more spacious and well planted with lush green 💚

Wonderful, wonderful performance. Good acoustics on every corner of the establishment.
I don't like their policy that you have to notify them either you go to the concerts or not. I understand to send them a message if you can not participate so they can sell your seat, but to notify them when you are going, that's stupid and abusive.
The place is old but it has a charm to it. The band a mamage had a concert at there, the acustics are amazing.
Historical building, great acoustics. Well worth a visit.
I had a fantastic experience, a lovely atmosphere!!!
Beautiful design. Great sound. Comfortable chairs.

(Translated by Google) A very poor library for the 21st century, no toilet, no computers, no internet, no last-minute books, magazines, effective. Rather, they resemble a garbage can, not a European library. They rented a room of 20 square meters. 4 people work there. It's sad. It would be better to build a new, modern library with more space. Tell us how much the rent costs and hire for a 20-meter canary + second room that you have to leave the library to get to the second room full of books found in the trash, and put on the shelf :D I'm waiting for an answer!!

One of the oldest churches in the city. Located on Mihai Eminescu Street, it was originally built in 1844, and stands in place of the old fortress Castrum-Zothmar. Its original walls broke after the foundation caved over the sandy ground. The church was rebuilt from the ground up by the Weszelovszky brothers, in 1908–1909. The church has a height of 42 metres (138 ft)
Very nice place to visit if you’re around :)

Amazing Catholic Church!
This is one of the most beautiful church in Satu Mare.
Do not show up to church services with a translation app, because it turns out that, for some people, praying comes second to studying your phone, which, of course, you've set on silent just before entering this beautiful cathedral. If you still decide to do so, do not apologize for keeping the silenced phone in front of you throughout the service, because then you'll get verbal confirmation of the above, ruining your spiritual experience. The church services on the white marble podium, at the white marble table, are mesmerizing. As always, one can only hope people decide to respect their sanctity, the priests' work and the sheer beauty of this holy place a bit more.
Just pray and love!
Going there for all my life. Nice place to be.
Beautiful place to visit in Satu Mare, a Roman Catholic cathedral that will give you a proper welcome.

The museum is interesting, despite it is very small. I have been suprised with high price (500 ron) for 2 adults and 1 child. The were no information about cost of tickets. I feel that cashier was not quite honest, when she noticed that we are foreigners.
Very interesting and fascinating
(Translated by Google) It is an art museum, in a special setting. Here, three centuries ago, the peace of Satu Mare was signed, which put an end to the anti-Habsburg wars of the Kuruts. There are rooms for contemporary temporary exhibitions (Szekely Tunde, in September 2023) but also an exceptional permanent exhibition with an emphasis on Aurel Popp's work, well contextualized and inspiredly presented. (Original) Este un muzeu de arta, intr-un cadru special. Aici s-a semnat, in urma cu trei secole, pacea de la Satu Mare, care a pus capat razboaielor antihabsburgice ale curuților. Sunt sali pentru expozitii temporare contemporane (Szekely Tunde, in septembrie 2023) dar si o exceptionala expozitie permanenta cu accent pe opera lui Aurel Popp, bine contextualizata si inspirat prezentata.
(Translated by Google) The price is per room, not per visit. The ladies are hiding and the porter reached her faster than them. The works are extraordinary, but the attitude and the cost leave much to be desired. 60 lei in total for *students* just to see the whole museum. (Original) Prețul e per camera, nu per vizita. Doamnele stau ascunse și portarul o ajuns mai repede decât ele. Operele sunt extraordinare dar atitudinea si costul lasă de dorit. 60 de lei in total pentru *elevi* doar sa vedem întreg muzeul.
(Translated by Google) According to the inscription on the plaque on the wall of the building on the corner of Főtér, the Peace of Szatmári, which concluded the Rákóczi War of Independence, was signed here. In the middle of the yard is a bronze statue of a beautiful woman, and there is a washroom at the back of the yard. (Original) A Főtér sarkán álló épület falán elhelyezett emléktáblán olvasható felirat szerint ezen a helyen írták alá a Rákóczi szabadságharcot lezáró Szatmári békét.

Not really a museum, more like a collection of old Dacia cars, but it's likely that this will be expanded in the future. There is no entrance fee, they operate by donations. You will have to consider yourself lucky if you're able to visit, the communication with those interested is not the best. The cars are in excellent condition and they all have descriptions. The whole assembly manages to capture an important slice of life during Communist Romania. The location is a bit further away from the center but close to some churches worth visiting. You can cut through the train tracks on the other side to reach the train station.
small collection of historic Dacia cars and some communist stuff like TVs, radio, bikes and motorcycles. It's important to say that museum itself is open, and you can reach it by asking about getting access to it in neighbouring Dacia/Renault AutoClass saloon. The entry is free.
The place is super small and cozy. And there is not much to see, really. If you have never seen communist made car, you will see it here. And that's pretty much it.
No answer on phone, all the info is outdated, seems to be closed since 2020-2021..
The museum it is no longer here
(Translated by Google) The key is with the porter, who only arrives on Saturdays at 1:00 p.m. Beautiful vehicles that were no small task to preserve for posterity. Here you can find everything that reminds you of the old world. Similar vehicles are perhaps only seen in movies. (Original) A kulcs a portásnál van aki szombaton olyan 13:00 kor érkezik csak. Gyönyörű járművek amiket nem kis munka volt így megőrizni az utókornak. Itt mindent megtalál az ember ami a régi világot idézi fel. Hasonló járműveket talán már csak a filmekben látni.
(Translated by Google) The location was a bit hard to find the first time we came there was no one there but after 2 hours we came back and luckily the guard opened it for us. This museum saved a little from the trip to Satu Mare which was not that it totally disappointed but some museums were closed, like the Fire Tower and the County Museum. The entrance was random, I left 10 lei per person for the guard I hope he got it :)) A few words about the museum, it is in a not very big hall but the exhibits look like they came out of the factory, I don't know if it is their original color or they were restored, I don't care they looked extraordinarily good, especially the Dacia 1100, I have never seen a Dacia 1100 in this condition, even the Dacia Lastun looks good, the rest I don't even say anything, they are in excellent condition. A small regret is that I didn't see a Dacia break or some rarer example. Compared to the museum in Arges, this one is smaller with fewer specimens, it's worth coming here too. (Original) Locatia un pic greu de gasit prima data cand am venit nu era nimeni dar dupa la interval de 2 ore am revenit si spre norocul nostru era paznicul care ne-a deschis. Acest muzeu a mai salvat putin din excursia in Satu Mare care nu ca a dezamagit total dar unele muzee erau inchise,precum Turnul Pompierilor si Muzeul Judetean. Intrarea a fost random,am lasat cate 10 lei de persoana paznicului sper ca i-a ajuns :)) Cateva cuvinte despre muzeu,este intr-o hala nu foarte mare insa exponatele arata ca si scoase din fabrica,nu stiu daca este culoarea lor originala sau au fost restaurate,nici nu imi pasa aratau extraordinar de bine,mai ales dacia 1100 ,n-am vazut veci dacie 1100 in starea aceasta,chiar si dacia lastun arata bine de restul nici nu mai zic nimic,sunt intr-o stare excelenta. Un mic regret este ca nu am vazut o dacie break sau ceva exemplar mai rar . In comparatie cu muzeul din Arges aceste este mai mic cu mai putine exemplare ,merita sa veniti si aici
