Bukovel is the Heart of the Carpathians, where nature reveals its majestic beauty. But it’s not only about breathtaking mountain views – the resort also offers a wide range of activities for both relaxing and active holidays. Each season brings something new, and there’s no shortage of family-friendly experiences. Let’s explore the best places to enjoy Bukovel with your loved ones.
The Ferris Wheel
No family vacation in the Carpathians is complete without a ride on Ukraine’s tallest observation wheel. Soaring 45 metres above the ground, it offers stunning views that will win your heart. It’s a hit with both parents and children – and a perfect place to capture magical moments from your trip.
"Hutsul Land" folk-park
A visit to the folk-park guarantees unforgettable memories. Here, adults and children alike can explore the traditional way of life of the Lemky, Boyky, and Hutsuly. Highlights include:
- a petting zoo where kids can meet friendly animals;
- traditional craft workshops where you can try your hand at local artistry;
- the "Babyn Bohrach" restaurant, serving authentic Hutsul cuisine.
Step into a 200-year-old house, try weaving on a loom, grind wheat in a traditional millstone, watch cheese-making in action, or take part in theatrical performances that bring Carpathian history to life.
Aquapark "MAVKA"
If you’re travelling with kids, our recently-opened aquapark is a must. The panoramic pools come with a backdrop of mountain scenery that adds to the sense of total relaxation. For adults, there are 14 SPA zones, including the "Spring of Life" area with saunas, open-air pools, and tranquil forest surroundings. You can also explore wellness zones inspired by ancient traditions.
Meanwhile, little ones are treated to a magical experience in the children’s pool by the wave zone. Here, nature spirits and interactive games create an enchanting world of fun and learning.
Don’t miss the water slide hosted by trickster Swampy – every ride is a new adventure! Kids can also enjoy creative workshops with the Water Spirit, where they can explore their imagination and creativity through play.

The fitness centre features an active zone with mountain views, strength and cardio equipment, and playgrounds for kids.
