Budapest, Óbuda is calling: the Palace of Wonders throws open its doors every Wednesday in 2026, serving up 250 hands-on exhibits where families can roam, experiment, and laugh together. Tucked at 1036 Budapest, 3rd District – Óbuda, Mátyás King Road (Mátyás király út) 24, this science playground turns curiosity into a team sport. Kids, teens, parents—everyone finds a favorite. From age 3 up, the challenges spark hidden talents you didn’t know you had. Test each other, compete a little, and go home bragging about unexpected skills that pop up along the way.
Play Your Way Through Science
Anything can happen here. Climb into a weird-wheeled car and feel every bump. Brave the dizzying Mirror Labyrinth. Mash up your faces into surreal blends. Shake your own hand—with just one hand. Slide into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Multiply yourself by 100 in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity in the Mirror Room. Stress-test your logic. Find out who’s the bravest “fakir.” Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Twist up a vortex. Try air basketball. And don’t miss four daily shows on the Öveges Stage. Suit up in the Richter Gedeon Lab: lab coat on, goggles down, and run thrilling experiments. Then keep going—there are still more wonders to uncover.
Make a Day of It
Be a kid again. Spend 3–4 carefree hours—or settle in for a whole day. Wednesdays aren’t just about the interactives; time your visit for the science shows that light up the schedule.
