Why Go Now
Because anything can happen at Csopa. Hop into a weird-wheeled car and feel the rumble beneath you. Brave the Mirror Labyrinth. Mash up your faces at a hilarious morphing station. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Climb into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Become a crowd of 100 in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the heart of infinity in the Mirror Room. Test your logic. See who’s the boldest fakir. Walk on clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank up a vortex. Play air basketball. Catch daily shows on the Öveges Stage four times a day. Then suit up in a lab coat and goggles at the Richter Gedeon Lab and dive into hands-on experiments. And that’s just the start.
Make It a Day
Play like kids again. Spend three to four carefree hours here—or settle in for the whole day. The games are fun from age 3 up, and still irresistible for tweens and teens.
