Budapest’s Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája) throws open its doors this Sunday, January 18, 2026, for an all‑day, science-fueled family outing at 1036 Budapest, Mátyás király Road (Mátyás király út) 24. If you’re hunting for a weekend plan that clicks for toddlers, teens, and adults alike, this interactive science center packs in enough games, shows, and hands-on experiments to fill three to four carefree hours—or an entire day—on a single CSOPA ticket.
All-Ages Play, Discovery, Competition
From age 3 and up, everyone finds a favorite. Brush up on hidden skills, challenge each other, and be surprised at what your kids—or your partner—ace with flying colors. Ride the odd-wheeled car and feel the bump underfoot. Brave the Mirror Labyrinth. Blend your faces with quirky visual tricks. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Climb into a Moon Rover. Snap a selfie with history’s greatest scientists. Multiply into 100 versions of yourself in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity inside the Mirror Room. Test your logic. Decide who’s the boldest fakir. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Spin up a vortex. Try air basketball. And don’t miss the daily stage shows—four times a day—plus the lab where you suit up and run real experiments.
Stage Shows That Pop (Sometimes Literally)
11:00 Bubble Show: What is a bubble? Why is it round? How big can the biggest bubble get? Why does a water strider float? Learn the physics behind shimmering spheres, see gigantic bubbles, discover why some glow, and pick up the secret formula for a seriously good bubble mix.
13:00 Spectacular Science: Peak thrills and visuals as the presenter unleashes favorite physics demos where the rules hit hard and the experiments hit louder.
15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show: Physics meets chemistry in the most eye-catching, energetic experiments of the day—big reactions, big reveals, bigger grins.
17:00 Blazing Stage: Warm up to flames and heat, safely. A playful intro—even for the youngest—to the physics of fire. Fiery stunts you should absolutely never try at home.
