Came here a bit early, but were still let in. And they even watched our bags for us.
The museum has everything from service cars to firetrucks to helicopters and of course lots of planes. Everything is in great condition and restored with much love an dedication.
The museum part unfortunately is only in Hungarian, but it's still interesting to see.
After we were already through all the planes, we were approached by a gentleman (so sad I didn't catch his name!) who could speak English very well and works as a volunteer guide for the museum.
He showed us around the planes, opened up the cockpits and was an endless source of information. He could answer all our questions, had tons of anecdotes and technical and historical information to offer. He really made our day and we were so glad we came here.
It was one of the highlights of my trip to Budapest.
Bonus: you can do some great planespotting here.
Absolut recommendation, not just for avgeeks.

This is a very nice place to see the history of aviation in Hungary. All of the vintage aircraft are Soviet era Ilyushin and Tupelov models and some are open to tour the insides. They also have a selection of vintage Lada cars and other tarmac vehicles. If you’re an aircraft buff, this is a nice way to spend an afternoon, you can get there via public transport from downtown Budapest and it is a relatively short walk from the airport. There is an admission charge for visitors.

We visited Aeropark Budapest on October 3rd, 2021. It was a 30-minute drive from the downtown.
The park was excellent and on the top of that over half a hundred buses from the legendary Ikarus factory, including many vintage vehicles, were on display during that weekend. (Ikarus Meeting at Ferihegy).
Entrance ticket for adults was HUF 2,100.
The staff was nice and it was organized very well!

It is just a selection of old air liners with the odd military jet. Not particularly interesting but something to do to take the kids. There is a Tesco, Burger King anf McDonalds nearby to keep them happy.

As an aviation enthusiast of over 50 years there was no way I was going to miss this on my first visit to Budapest. Within walking distance of Terminal 2B, it is an open air museum with a small entry fee. It is possible to board some of the aircraft and as I have never flown in a Soviet built aircraft this was the next best thing. Don't expect to see an intact cabin inside though, they are mostly empty but the flight decks are there behind see through screens. There are also very useful description notices outside each exhibit with a history of the particular aircraft you see in front of you. Would recommend doing this on a dry day, although I was there in summer there was rain in the air on the day I visited so my pictures are a little disappointing. Excellent excuse to go back again!!

A true treasure for enthusiasts of commercial aviation, with most of the aircraft open for exploration. Some guides will also take you to the cockpits and unlock them so you can sit in the flight deck and take pictures. Exceptionally helpful and friendly volunteer staff. Budapest Ferihegy Airport Museum admission is 1500 Huf (800 for seniors and children). If you are recently arrived, they get a limited number of guests, so smaller bills are helpful. There is a Spar market in the terminal, and I find it best to buy snacks for the day so as to have exact change for the museum. I have visited several times, and the short 550m walk takes seven minutes. It is always an interesting view through the wire fence with concrete vertical posts. It has a kind of ominous Cold War feel. In warmer weather there may be a cafe, but in fall and winter there are only some snacks. They do have clean toilets in a trailer.

Aeropark is a collection of about a dozen or so aircraft which were flown by the former Hungarian national airline, Malev, at various points in its existence from establishment in 1956 to closure in 2012. This tight focus on subject matter compensates well for a collection of relatively modest size as Aeropark is.
As outdoor air museums go, most of Aeropark's exhibit aircraft look well cared for. On the day I went, a guide who spoke reasonable English opened up several of the aircraft so visitors could examine cockpits and other interior aspects.
From a photography standpoint, there's generous spacing between the aircraft to allow for individual exhibits to be framed with minimal or no interference from adjacent ones.
Highly recommended!

I visited in November - during this period, between October and March the museum only opens on weekends between 9:00am and 16:00am. The staff were very friendly and spoke excellent English. The planes don't exactly look as immaculate as they do in other aviation museums, but it's clear the workers have great pride for them and do their best with what little means they have.
But perhaps the biggest highlight of this museum was the private, behind-the-scene tours they offer via Viator. My guide, Balazs, knew a lot of the inner workings of Budapest Airport and offered me great opportunities for planespotting (even underneath one of the runways!). I also quite enjoyed the fact that the whole tour was carried out in a cute little Lada made to look like a Malev service car from the 80's.
It was a great experience, although I would recommend visiting the museum in the summer, when it opens everyday from dusk til dawn.

First of all I must say that it was an absolute privilege to be allowed to take part in this fabulous behind the scenes tour of Budapest Airport!!! We got to see planes landing / taking off visiting the airport fire station and a look at the airport at work behind the scenes not to mention seeing lots of different planes. So much to see it was quite surreal to be there and be allowed to experience this. You get around the airport in a bus which was great and full of character and the bus driver very good too. Our guide spoke in Hungarian as at the moment they have no English guide as the website is in Hungarian and the guests are mainly Hungarian. They are hoping to get their website into English soon and cater for more English guests. The guide was very knowledgable and seemed very committed to his role you could see his passion. After our tour we had a look at the old planes which was really good. The gentleman who was in charge was very nice also and very informative and it was a pleasure to meet him. We would like to say a very very big thank you to all the staff for making our holiday to Budapest so very special and one we will not forget!!! ✈️✈️

I cannot understand why this has had only one review. It is an excellent open air musuem of post war eastern block commercial aircraft. It contains aircraft that I have not seen in other better known aeroparks.
The easiest acces is from terminal 2B a 5 - 10 min walk or from the long term (holiday) parking
The entrance is nominal, at the moment 1500 Huf (800 seniors & children)
The staff (who I think are volunteers) though not speaking much English are extremly helpful.
You can get drinks and on occasions snacks at the site and there is a good covered area to sit in to recover from walking around the site.
A number of the aircraft are open and you are free to walk around them, The cockpits have perspex doors so you cannot go in but you can see the controls.
This is an open site so you are dependent on the weather and
the ground can be rough in areas.
It is unfortunate that a number of the aircraft are showing signs of exposure but this cannot be helped.
You can get a full ist of aircraft at their website

comment va t'on du terminal au musée? A pied ou en bus ?
Hello Chris,
by bus it is easier and shorter. Take the bus 200E (towards Kőbánya-Kispest ), get off at the first stop ("Repülőmúzeum"), then follow the sidewalk for around 300 meters.
From the terminal you can go here also by foot, but it is a longer walk - around 20 minutes.
Please note, this week we're open from 10am to 4pm, from 20th November - during the winter - we're open only on weekends between 10am and 4pm.
