On October 19, the Lurdy Conference and Event Center (Lurdy Ház) in Budapest transforms into a paradise for exotic animal lovers as TerraPlaza 2025 opens its doors. This isn’t just Central Europe’s biggest terrarium and aquarium expo—it’s a festival, a lifestyle, and the ultimate meetup for animal enthusiasts. More than 100 Hungarian and international exhibitors will take over 28,000 square feet, with thousands of visitors expected for Hungary’s leading pet expo, happening not once, but four times this year in Budapest.
A Whirlwind of Exotics and Community
TerraPlaza promises something different for every visitor. You can rush through the entire exhibition in two hours or spend the whole day soaking in the colorful world of reptiles, amphibians, insects, and fish. Star breeders present newly developed species and varieties, as well as share insider care tips, so you’re always up to date with the hottest trends.
Every corner buzzes with passionate people—exhibitors, hobbyists, and newcomers—all united by a love for nature and science-based animal care. There’s no better place to discover, learn, and become part of a rapidly growing community, now over 40,000 strong.
Beyond the Terrarium: A Multi-Faceted Experience
Although TerraPlaza began as a terrarium-focused event, it has become Hungary’s hotspot for both terrarium and aquarium enthusiasts. Spectacular exhibitions, engaging programs, educational talks on wildlife and animal protection, and direct interactions with leading breeders await. Conservation and animal welfare are top priorities—every animal must pass a veterinary inspection and meet strict welfare standards before being showcased.
