The TerraPlaza 2025 Exotic Animal Expo and Marketplace is about to turn Budapest (Budapest) into a reptile lover’s paradise on October 19th. Held at the Lurdy Conference and Event Center (Lurdy Konferencia- és Rendezvényközpont), this is not just another animal show—it’s Central Europe’s most dynamic gathering, fulfilling every exotic obsession from lizards to rare fish. Spanning over 28,000 square feet, you’ll encounter more than 100 premier exhibitors from Hungary (Magyarország) and abroad, showcasing scaly, feathery, or slithery companions for thousands of fellow enthusiasts. Visit once, and you might just call it a lifestyle.
What Makes TerraPlaza a Must-See?
This isn’t a quiet stroll past cages. TerraPlaza is an ever-evolving, pulsing hub—breeders present their newest species, dazzling variations, and the best husbandry tips around. Stop in for a two-hour tour, or lose yourself for the entire day. Whether you’re interested in advanced herpetology or just want to marvel at a snake, there’s always something remarkable around the next corner. You get the chance to chat directly with those who have hatched, raised, and named these creatures, diving into the latest trends straight from the people who set them.
An Expanding Universe of Wonder
While TerraPlaza started as a haven for terrarium enthusiasts, it’s now the flagship destination for both terrarium and aquarium fans in Hungary (Magyarország). Exhibitions extend far beyond terrariums; aquatics now play a starring role, alongside interactive showcases, conservation talks, and animal welfare education. Every animal is presented under strict veterinary supervision, with animal protection rules firmly enforced.
Hands-On, Up-Close, and Community-Driven
Close-up encounters with rare species and direct purchases from respected breeders are part of the experience. Want a healthy, well-fed reptile or amphibian? Every animal here passes medical checks and strict licensing requirements. Instead of relying on internet guesswork, you’ll get real care advice from seasoned professionals, all at reasonable prices.
TerraPlaza isn’t just an expo—it’s the hub of a 40,000-strong community that’s growing every day. Make new friends, find mentors, exchange ideas, and see yourself as part of a passionate movement where nature and science go hand-in-hand.
Doors are open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with tickets available online or at the venue. Children under six get in free, and after 4:00 PM, everyone pays just $4. Children, adults, hobbyists, and serious collectors—mark your calendars for October, and for the other dates as well. Budapest (Budapest) gets wild, again and again.
