Play, Compete, Be Amazed
Everything can happen here—sometimes it feels like it already has. Climb into the odd-wheeled car and feel it rumble under you. Brave the Mirror Labyrinth. Mash up your faces into one hilarious hybrid. Shake your own hand—using just one hand. Settle into a Moon Rover. Snap a selfie with the greatest scientists. Multiply yourself a hundred times in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand in the middle of infinity in the Mirror Room. Test your logic on brain-bending puzzles. See who’s the bravest fakir. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Spin up a swirling vortex. Try air basketball. Then catch daily action on the Öveges Stage—four times a day. Suit up in coat and goggles at the Richter Gedeon Lab and run real experiments. And that’s only the start.
