Budapest’s BOK Hall goes wild on February 7, 2026, as Egzoo Mania returns with Hungary’s biggest exotic animal expo and market. Over nearly 107,640 square feet of space, the sixth edition promises hundreds of rare species, hands-on encounters, expert advice, and immersive tech adventures from 10:00 to 18:00. Whether you already share your home with a small pet or you’re just toying with the idea, this is the one-stop place to find the right companion and learn how to care for it responsibly.
Hundreds of Animals, One Massive Playground
Expect sugar gliders, macaws, geckos, iguanas, snakes, frogs, tarantulas, and monitor lizards, plus surprises like an Arctic fox. Domestic and international breeders, traders, and animal welfare NGOs line the halls alongside vendors selling habitats, gear, feed, and tools. A photo corner with standout species gives you that frame-worthy moment, while the EgZoona pop-up tests your courage with exotics rarely seen in Hungary.
Learn, Play, and Go Immersive
The main stage hosts interactive expert talks that cut through myths and deliver practical care tips. Over at the Benedetto stage, entertainment meets education with family-friendly sessions and creative workshops in the Benedetto Children’s Corner. Step into the immersive exhibition, glide through the Butterfly House, and soak up the visuals. Take a VR tour of the Amazon rainforest or explore a steampunk‑styled savanna. At the AI corner, generate your own fantasy animal, then wander into the traveling planetarium for a quick trip among the stars.
Expo Meets Marketplace
Egzoo Mania is both an exhibition and a market. Admire hundreds of animals, then pick up everything you need—from reptile setups to parrot essentials and genuine rarities—backed by on-site guidance from specialists, veterinarians, and reputable breeders. Questions about care? There’s always an expert around.
