Hauling the whole family out on Saturday? Head to the Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája) in Budapest, 1036, 24 Mátyás Király Road (Mátyás király út 24). This science experience center is a full-day playground of experiments, illusions, and hands-on fun, with the Öveges Stage shows included in your ticket. Open to all ages from 3 up, it’s as good for little kids as for teens—and for parents who want to rediscover their inner tinkerer.
Discover hidden talents while you play, test your logic, and challenge each other. You’ll be surprised at what your kids—and your partner—are good at. You can easily spend 3–4 carefree hours here or settle in for the whole day.
Try Everything, Twice
Climb into a car with strange wheels and feel the bumps. Lose yourself in the Mirror Maze. Mix up your faces in a mind-bending morph. Shake hands with yourself using only one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap a selfie with history’s greatest scientists. Turn into a crowd of 100 in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity in the Mirror Room. Put your logic to the test. Find out who’s the bravest fakir. Walk on clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank up a vortex. Play air basketball. And don’t miss the four daily Öveges Stage shows that make science crackle.
Hands-On, Lab Coats On
Spin into discovery at the Richter Gedeon Lab. Slip on a lab coat and safety goggles and run thrilling experiments—no experience needed, just curiosity.
