    Worth the effort of getting there
    Went to Memento Park under our own steam. The place is out in the sticks, but still easily accessible by public transport. From the middle of Budapest to the park in about 45 mins. Take Metro Line 4 to Kelenfold (the final stop), then take Exit B and board either the 101B, 101E or 150 bus [NB there are other bus companies at the other exits, so you must take Exit B]. Ride it for about 15 mins and you’re there. The park is pretty small, and you have to pay an entrance fee (€6 if memory serves), but it’s good value to see all the Soviet era statues in their final ‘resting place’. They range from small plaques to 3 or 4 gigantic affairs. Interesting place and worth the effort to get there

    With a visit to understand Soviet interface with this region
    Excellent calibration point to understand the history of this country .The guide book is an essential purchase to help explain the historical perspective of each statue. We were along on a beautiful October day that helped us enjoy the site . If it was cold and wet it would be less fun, though still rewarding

    Small but crucial sight of communist sculpture. :)
    Really interesting place. It’s small and doesn’t take too long to look around. We really enjoyed the statues and I did some Wikipedia searching while we were there to find out about the more obscure people - although there is a guidebook you can buy. The bus service there was good and the lovely lady in the kiosk makes great coffee! There’s a film to watch and a small exhibition too. By the way, don’t buy a hip flask with a soviet badge on…it’s hardly attached by anything (glue) and falls off the first moment it gets.

    O.K.
    We walked around on our own and didn't do a guided tour. We bought the guidebook which was good. The park is far from downtown Budapest so we took a BOLT(their UBER) and it cost 7100 HUF one way, that's about 20 dollars. It's 3000 HUF for entry into the park. The guidebook cost 2000 HUF. They have another small museum across the street with posters and a short film which was very interesting. They have nice restrooms there at the park. The man selling tickets was very nice.

    Well worth the visit
    Anyone interested in art, history and politics should go. A fantastic tour of this well curated collection of powerful statues that tell the story of communism. Easy to access via public transport and well worth it. The guide was excellent, it was a fascinating learning experience.

We opted for the English speaking tour. Think it is offered on Fridays, Sat and Sunday.

Our tour guide was fabulous, knowledgable and passionate !
So glad we did it with a guide and didn't just wander around unaccompanied !

There is also a 'spy training' film (with English sub titles that you can watch before or after ... think it runs on a loop ? I'd allow about 15 minutes for the film (ask the office how long it runs for) - but we were there for about 10 minutes and didn't get to see it all.

You can catch public buses there ( do need to change), but it is all quite straightforward and you can do the whole trip on the BudapestGO day ticket (don't need to buy a regional ticket).

Wonderful, insightful experience with Judit and her wonderful Trabant. We learnt so much. We'd strongly recommend making the time to visit the park and combine it with a combo Trabant trip.

Brilliant spectacular sculpture park with ironic story of monuments, politics gone wrong but eventually right, fantastic display and film, gave great understanding to the peaks and troughs (mostly troughs) of revolution, socialism and eventual freedom. Something for all the family including the ubiquitous trbant to sit in

Very interesting place albeit about a very dark period in Hungarian history. The statues are ace and the wee museum is worth a look also

This was a more interesting place to visit than I had anticipated. It is a very unusual experience but does give an interesting spin on the history of the country. It is an exposed site and it was bitterly cold.

This was a project since beginning the 90's to allocate the works. Of course never happened. No bigger than a football field. You can see more communism depictions in Wall Street. It's been now renovated.

Great place to visit if you're in Budapest.
Use the public transport yo get there it's easy.
Tram 49 from the pest centre by the big wheel to kelenfold Station (last stop) single ticket 450Huf
Go under the metro to exit C get the 101b or 101e two stops is Momento Park. Again 450Huf single journey. Return just opposite very easy and far less than Taxis.

It was an amazing tour! Our female guide was excellent in every description of the park and the statues. She explained historic landmarks so detailed. We recommend everyone to go there because it’s a part of the history of Hungary.
