Arsenal Park grew up on the site of the former Rompiro arms and ammunition factory, on the edge of Orăștie. The land had been handed to the army in 1936–1938 for experiments with explosives, and after 1989 the factory fell into decline. It was bought by the brothers Emil and Marius Cristescu, who turned it into a military-themed leisure complex that opened in 2009. The abandoned bunkers and depots became accommodation, and a collection of military hardware was laid out between the trees, along paved paths.

Today the park covers 88 hectares of forest, with about 12 km of paths, and people visit it both to stroll among the exhibits and for the adventure activities. The entrance ticket gives access to the park, the open-air museum and the playgrounds; the adventure, zip line and other activities are paid for separately. Accommodation, a restaurant and a spa area make it a destination for a few days as well. The name appears in several forms (Arsenal Park, Arsenal Park Transilvania, Arsenal Aventura & Aqua Park); here it means the park you can visit, with all its zones.

Good to know before you go

Getting there

By car: the park is on the edge of Orăștie, on Strada Codrului, close to the exit from the A1 motorway (Sibiu–Deva). It is about 30 km from Deva, around 60 km from Alba Iulia and around 90 km from Sibiu, mostly on the motorway. If you are coming from the Dacian fortresses, Costești and Sarmizegetusa Regia are a few dozen minutes to the south.

Public transport: Orăștie has a railway station on the line towards Deva and Simeria, but there is no public transport running all the way to the park; from the station or the town you go by taxi or car.

Where to park

The car park on the park's grounds is free, according to the official website. There is no published information on the number of spaces or on how busy it gets at weekends.
