when:
Budapest’s Óbuda is the place to be this Saturday if you want a day where every age actually has fun. Head to the Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája, Csopa) at 1036 Budapest, District III – Óbuda, 24 Mátyás Király Road, and settle in for hours of science-fueled play. Your entry ticket even includes the spectacular Öveges Stage shows, so you can roam, test, and gasp without juggling extras. Families with little ones, tweens, and teens will all find favorites here, and don’t be surprised if a visit reveals hidden talents you didn’t know you had.
Anything can happen at Csopa—and usually does. Climb into the weird-wheeled car and feel the bump under you. Brave the Mirror Maze. Mash up your faces with optical tricks. Shake hands with yourself using only one hand. Take a seat in a Moon Rover. Snap a selfie with the greatest scientists. Become a crowd of 100 in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity in the Mirror Room. Push your logic to the limit with brainteasers. See who’s the boldest fakir among you. Float among clouds with the Flying Reflection. Spin up a vortex. Play air basketball. Then drop into the Öveges Stage—four times daily—for pure science spectacle.
Suit up in the Richter Gedeon Lab with a coat and safety goggles, then run thrilling experiments yourself. The schedule promises a full day:
– 11:00 Bubble Show: What is a bubble, why is it round, how big can it get, and why do pond skaters stand on water? Learn bubble physics, make giant bubbles, see how a bubble can glow, and discover the secret formula for the best bubble mix.
– 13:00 Spectacular Science: Peak thrills as physics takes over and the presenter shows favorite jaw-dropping experiments.
– 15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show: Physics meets chemistry for the biggest, flashiest demos.
– 17:00 Glowing Stage: A fiery, hands-on intro to flames and heat—kid-friendly; never try at home.
With a Csopa ticket, you can spend the whole day exploring. Plan for three to four carefree hours—or go all in and make it an all-day adventure on Saturday, 2026-02-21, in Budapest.
