Avalon Park, Amusement park in Miskolc, Hungary
Avalon Park is a family amusement park in the forested Miskolctapolca district of Miskolc, in the Bükk hills. Its first phase opened in summer 2015 with a 560-metre electric go-kart track 8–12 m wide, holding 32 Rimo karts and 3 two-seaters, plus a 2,500 m² outdoor Maya playground, a beer garden, an open-air stage and an artificial-turf futsal pitch. All buildings are HONKA log houses.
Avalon Park was built by the HELL group as a 7.8 billion forint investment on about 5 hectares of forest in the Bükk. Its first phase opened in summer 2015 with the HELL Kart & Event Center, a 560-metre electric kart track, the 2,500-square-metre Maya playground, a beer garden, an open-air stage and a futsal pitch. A 33-room hotel with two suites and 15 log houses followed in May 2016.
The park's name comes from the Avalon of Arthurian legend, and its buildings are all made of wood, specifically HONKA log houses. The 200-plus-seat Avalon Ristorante serves Italian food and was named Central Europe's best Italian kitchen at the 2018 World Luxury Restaurant Awards. The Miskolctapolca road train that carries visitors to the gate is called "Avelino".
Cars are banned throughout the park, so guests move between the kart track, playground, restaurant and hotel on electric golf carts; a 129-space underground garage serves drivers. Those arriving by public transport reach the site by the road Dotto train called "Avelino", which starts from a car park on the edge of Miskolctapolca and also stops at the terminus of bus 2.
