Budapest, 1036, 24 Mátyás Király Street. Spend Saturday, December 27, 2025, at the Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája) and turn a family day into a science-fueled adventure. One ticket lets you roam all day, and entry includes the crowd-favorite Öveges Stage shows. From preschoolers to teens—and yes, adults—there’s more than enough to keep everyone busy for hours, or even the whole day.

Hands-on thrills for every age

Dive into interactive zones that spark curiosity and friendly competition. Try the weird-wheeled car—will it rattle under you? Conquer the Mirror Maze. Mash up your faces in a mind-bending mixer. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Climb into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Multiply into a hundred versions of yourself inside the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity in the Mirror Room. Test your logic. Find out who’s the bravest fakir in the family. Walk the clouds with the Flying Mirror Image. Crank up a vortex. Play air basketball. And don’t miss the Öveges Stage shows—four times daily—where physics and chemistry pop, flash, and wow.

Roll up your sleeves: lab time

Spin into Richter Gedeon Lab sessions: lab coat on, safety goggles down, and run exciting experiments like a junior scientist. It’s safe, guided, and gloriously hands-on—perfect for curious minds itching to try the real thing.

Saturday show schedule

11:00 Bubble Show: What makes a bubble round? How big can it get? Why can a pond skater stay atop the water? Learn bubble physics, see giant bubbles, discover why some glow, and peek at the secret recipe for a perfect bubble mix.
13:00 Spectacular Science: Big visuals, bigger thrills. Journey into a world ruled by the toughest laws of physics as the presenter fires off favorite demonstrations.
15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show: Physics and chemistry collide in a high-energy set of the presenter’s flashiest experiments.
17:00 Glowing Stage: A fiery, playful intro to flames and heat—even for the littlest visitors. Do not try these at home.

Pros
+
Super family-friendly—tons of hands-on exhibits for preschoolers, teens, and adults, plus four daily stage shows that keep everyone entertained for hours
+
Topic is universally appealing; science museums and interactive physics demos are familiar to U.S. visitors, so you’ll “get it” without local context
+
Location in Budapest is a win—city is well-known to foreign tourists and easy to navigate
+
No Hungarian required; exhibits are largely visual/interactive and staff at major attractions in Budapest usually speak at least some English
+
Easy to reach: Budapest has solid public transit (Metro, trams, buses) and ride-hailing; driving and parking in Óbuda are doable outside the very center
+
Good value: one ticket gives all-day access and multiple shows, similar to all-day science center passes in the U.S.
+
Compares well to U.S. science centers (think Exploratorium/Science Museum style) but with quirky local twists like the Öveges Stage and Mirror Rooms
Cons
Could be crowded during the holidays; expect lines for headline exhibits and stage shows
Some show explanations or labels may be Hungarian-first; English coverage might vary by exhibit and presenter
Less famous internationally than headline Budapest sights (Buda Castle, thermal baths), so it’s not a bucket-list icon
If you’re seeking outdoor Christmas-market vibes or classic architecture, this is an indoor, modern science-day detour rather than “only-in-Budapest” heritage time
