Budapest, 24 Matthias King Street (Mátyás király út 24). This Sunday, January 4, 2026, grab the family and dive into a science-packed playground at the Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája). It’s a hands-on, all-ages experience where you can easily spend a whole day exploring, playing, and discovering surprising skills you didn’t know you had. From preschoolers to teens, everyone will find a favorite challenge, game, or mind-bending illusion. Race each other, test your logic, and get ready to be amazed at just how talented your kids and partner really are.
Play, Tinker, Wonder
Anything can happen here. Climb into the odd-wheeled car and feel the bumps beneath you. Brave the Mirror Maze and lose yourself in reflections. Swap faces with each other. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover and take a seat like a space explorer. Snap a selfie with history’s greatest scientists. Become a crowd of 100 inside the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity in the Mirror Room. Tackle logic tests that tease your brain. See who’s the bravest fakir in your crew. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank up a vortex. Try your hand at air basketball. Then sit back for mind-blowing stage shows four times a day on the Öveges Stage.
Hands-On Science, All Day
Suit up in the Richter Gedeon Lab—lab coat and safety goggles on—and run real experiments. Young or old, you can rediscover play here: spend 3–4 carefree hours, or settle in for the entire day. Your Palace of Wonders day ticket lets you roam from open to close on Sunday, January 4, 2026, in Budapest.
