Looking for the ultimate weekend plan the whole family will remember? Make your way to the Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája) in Budapest, a science experience center packed with hands-on fun for visitors of all ages. Whether you stay for a few hours or the entire day, boredom isn’t on the menu—the place is bursting with mind-boggling activities, games, and surprises.
All-Ages Science Playground
From toddlers (ages 3 and up) to teens and thrill-seeking parents, everyone will find their favorite challenge here. Find out who’s secretly a mastermind at logic, get competitive with your family, or just marvel at the hidden talents revealed by the interactive exhibits. Hop on the wobbly-wheeled car (will it bump along?), get lost in the Mirror Maze, shake your own hand (literally!), take a spin on a Moon Rover, or snap a selfie with iconic scientists. Become a hundred versions of yourself inside the Giant Kaleidoscope, test your nerves on a “fakir” bed of nails, and discover endless optical illusions in the Mirror Room.
Contests, Crazy Experiments, and More
Who’s up for flying in the “Mirror Sky” room or creating whirlwind vortices? Try your hand at hover basketball, marvel at the dazzling Öveges Stage shows (four times daily), and step into the Richter Gedeon (Gedeon Richter) Lab—put on a lab coat and goggles, and dive into real science experiments. The best part? Relive the wonder of childhood together—spend 3–4 hours, or the whole day, hopping from exhibit to experiment.

Here’s the Sunday show schedule:
11:00 AM: Bubble Show – Discover why bubbles are round, how to make giant ones, and learn the ultimate bubble solution secret.
