Budapest, 1036, Mátyás király út 24. If you’re looking for a weekend plan that works for the whole family, this is it. At the Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája, aka Csopa), you can easily spend an entire day exploring a science playground packed with hands-on fun for every age. The games are engaging from age 3, and tweens and teens won’t be bored either. A visit here often uncovers hidden skills you didn’t know you had. Put yourselves to the test, challenge each other, and be amazed at what your kids or partner are great at.
What You Can Do
Anything can happen at Csopa. Climb into the weird-wheeled car—will it rattle under you? Take on the Mirror Maze. Mix up your faces. Shake hands with yourself using one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Become a hundred versions of yourself in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand in the middle of infinity in the Mirror Room. Stretch your logic. Find out who’s the bravest fakir. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank up a vortex. Try air basketball. Catch four daily shows on the Öveges Stage. Spin into science at the Richter Gedeon Lab—coat on, goggles down, and run exciting experiments. And that’s just the start. Come play like kids again. Spend 3–4 carefree hours—or settle in for the whole day.
Stage Shows on Sunday
11:00 Bubble Show. What is a bubble? Why is it round? How big is the world’s largest? Why can a water strider stay on the surface? This family show breaks down bubble physics, shows how to make giant ones, why some glow, and reveals the recipe for a truly great bubble mix.
13:00 Spectacular Science. Maximum spectacle and excitement as you enter a world ruled by the raw laws of physics, with the presenter’s favorite experiments on full display.
15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show. Physics and chemistry take over—fast, visual, unforgettable demonstrations and the presenter’s most showstopping experiments.
17:00 Glowing Stage. Hot moments with fire and the physics of heat, playfully tailored even for the smallest kids. Fiery experiments you should never try at home.
