when:
Budapest, Óbuda is calling all families this Sunday, February 22, 2026. If you want a weekend plan where everyone actually has fun, head to the Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája) at 1036 Budapest, 3rd District – Óbuda, 24 Mátyás király Road (Mátyás király út 24). This science experience center can easily fill 3–4 carefree hours—or an entire day—with hands-on games, wild illusions, and brain-tickling challenges for kids ages 3 and up, plus teens, parents, and grandparents. You’ll discover hidden skills you didn’t know you had. Compete, test your logic, and be amazed at what your kids and partner can do.
Anything can happen here. Climb into the weird-wheeled car—will it rattle under you? Get lost and found in the Mirror Maze. Mix up your faces. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Multiply yourselves by 100 in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand in the middle of infinity in the Mirror Room. Twist up a vortex. Play air basketball. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. See who’s the bravest fakir among you. And that’s just the start—many more wonders are waiting.
On the Öveges Stage, there are four science shows daily:
– 11:00 Bubble Show: What is a bubble and why is it round? How big can the world’s largest bubble get? How does a water strider stay on the surface? Learn the physics of bubbles, see giant bubbles, discover why a bubble can glow, and hear the secret recipe for a great bubble solution.
– 13:00 Spectacular Science: Full-throttle visuals and thrills as physics’ fiercest laws come to life with the presenter’s favorite experiments.
– 15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show: Physics and chemistry take center stage with the most eye-popping demonstrations.
– 17:00 Glowing Stage: Hot moments and a playful intro—even for the youngest—to flames and heat. Fiery experiments you should never try at home.
Spin into action in the Richter Gedeon Lab. Lab coat and safety goggles on, then dive into exciting experiments yourself.
With a CSOPA day ticket, you can spend the whole day inside. Sunday, 2026.02.22. Budapest, Óbuda, 24 Mátyás király Road (Mátyás király út 24). Bring curiosity—and comfy shoes.
