'But we haven’t tried them all yet!' argues one of the children.
- ‘And we haven’t even had a look at the goats yet!’ says the other one.
‘You promised I could go horse-riding!’ says the youngest, sounding a bit accusatory.

There’s a solution to this too. If you’re visiting Katica Tanya for several days, or even a week, you’re guaranteed to be able to settle down for the night – perhaps in one of the holiday apartments – with happy children who are just a little tired by the end of the day. 

The countryside is becoming increasingly popular amongst our fellow city-dwellers. Whether staying for a short or long period, our weary guests can gain a glimpse into the beauty of village life. Leaving their worries behind, the fresh air clears their minds, leaving more time to focus on one another. 
In Patca, there was plenty to get stuck into over the weekend: the craft workshops provide an opportunity to spend quality time together, unwind and, last but not least, bring out your creative side. 

You’ll gain an insight into farm life without even realising just how much you’ve learnt and how many wonderful experiences you’ve had. Whilst looking after the animals, you’ll get to experience first-hand what it’s like to love an animal, and you’ll get a taste of what it means to do a selfless good deed.
Our programmes are always linked to the current season, a festival or a tradition. We call these: 

Special days at Katica Farm.

Every day between 7 and 8 am and 5 and 6 pm (depending on the season), there is cow milking, which anyone can try. Between 7 and 9 am and 4 and 6 pm, there is animal care, which anyone can take part in. As well as the dozens of outdoor and indoor play facilities, you can enjoy unlimited access to the attractions of this giant play and slide centre – unique in Hungary – including a playhouse, vintage machinery, an obstacle course, football billiards, ‘Kiütlek’ game, go-kart tracks for young and old alike – to name but a few. You can explore the knight’s castle, and plenty of excitement awaits in the realm of the lakeside attractions (the ‘Bolyongó’ maze, the ‘Luficsúzli’, trampolines, bouncy hills, a pontoon bridge and hand-operated ferries, and water vehicles). You won’t miss out on the animals either, as there are opportunities to take part in guided petting sessions three times a day. Similarly, the barrel-chase ride and the Matyi train run several times throughout the day, depending on the number of participants. You can put your courage to the test on the forest rope courses and the longest slides in Transdanubia (120 and 190 m). And in the craft corner, they could sit down for a little while to rest whilst doing their own drawing, painting, colouring and pebble painting.

Delicacies

Oven-baked langalló sounds familiar to many, but those for whom it holds the allure of something new will soon realise that this isn’t the sort of thing you simply pick off the shop shelf, pay for and eat straight away. That’s why you have to put in the effort, and once you’ve felt, smelled and tasted the fruits of your labour, you can happily conclude that it was well worth the wait – or even the work involved. The staff are helped by the many, many little hands of the children, who skilfully learn to knead, shape and roll out the dough…
Our families can enjoy à la carte dining in our restaurant. School groups staying for several days can choose from three different set menus. Every weekend, as part of our "Special Days at Katica Farm" programme series, we welcome our guests with a range of culinary delights.

After a tiring week, the Szabós too smile with a deep sigh, because they know that a well-deserved active break awaits them at the Katica farm.
