Family Adventure, No Age Limits
Bring the whole crew if you’re craving a shared memory that sticks. Favorites pop up for everyone, from age 3 through the peak teen years. A visit can spotlight hidden talents you didn’t know you had. Challenge each other, race the clock, and be amazed at what your kids and partner pull off when science turns playful.
Touch Everything, Try Anything
Climb into the weird‑wheeled car and feel the bumps beneath you. Brave the Mirror Maze. Mix and morph your faces. Shake hands with yourself using one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Multiply into 100 versions of yourself in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at infinity’s edge in the Mirror Room. Flex your logic. Find out who’s the boldest fakir. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank a vortex. Play air basketball. Catch four daily shows on the Öveges Stage. Spin up experiments in the Richter Gedeon Lab—coat and safety goggles on—and run thrilling tests. And that’s just the start.
Make a Day of It
Play like a kid again. Spend 3–4 carefree hours—or settle in for the whole day. Fridays come loaded with science shows, so time your visit to catch them all.
