A visit can uncover skills you didn’t even know you had—test yourselves, challenge each other, and be amazed at the hidden talents in your kids or partner. Plan on spending 3–4 carefree hours, or settle in for the whole day.

Play, Tinker, Wow
At Csopa—short for Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája)—anything can happen. Climb aboard the weird-wheeled car and feel every bump beneath you. Brave the Mirror Labyrinth. Mash up your faces into hilarious hybrids. Shake your own hand with one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Become a crowd of 100 inside the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity in the Mirror Room. Put your logic to the test. See who’s the boldest fakir among you. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank up a vortex. Play air basketball. And don’t miss four daily shows on the Öveges Stage that turn science into pure spectacle.
Suit up in a lab coat and safety goggles at the Richter Gedeon Lab, jump into the action, and carry out thrilling experiments. And that’s just the start—there are countless more wonders waiting to be discovered.
