We love to seek out unexpected places like this during our travels and Salina Turda actually exceeded our expectations. It was great to wander into the cool cave for relief from the hot day, admire the beautiful colorings of the walls, take a ferris wheel ride, watch others in the boats or playing mini golf, and just admire the place as a whole. While much more subdued than a traditional amusement park, we loved the quiet vibe and strange experience of going so far underground. It felt like another world. It does involve a lot of walking and some stairs, so keep that in mind. There's also no food or drink options as I recall, so plan ahead for that as well. Well worth the visit though!

It is not easy to reach this attraction, almost no signs, only relied on Online Maps. Parking was ok, free. Overall we liked that the experience is not yet so commercial to rip you off for everything big time and to queue forever like Turda. It is also a bit more modest, but good. The price is around 5 euros for adult and you go down by bus, fun ride. Once inside the ample rooms with layers of salt are impressive. The salt smell is strong. Food, beverages and fun is quite cheap and very diverse. Toilets are in 3 places, could be cleaner. We liked the time there.

Very nice salt mine. You can drink a coffee or tea inside. There are activities for young children. Unfortunately, the dogs are not allowed inside. The temperature inside is 15 Celsius degrees.
