Budapest’s Palace of Wonders opens its doors on Fridays too, serving up a family-sized dose of science playtime at 1036 Budapest, Mátyás király út 24. With 250 interactive games to poke, twist, pedal, zap, and marvel at, the place is basically a playground where every age group finds thrills—and teams walk out buzzing about their discoveries for days.
If you’re hunting for a shared family adventure that sticks, this is it. Kids from age 3 can get hands-on, and it still lands perfectly with tweens and teens. A single visit to “Csopa” has a way of revealing hidden talents you didn’t even know you had. Put yourselves to the test, race each other, and be pleasantly surprised by how much your kids—and your partner—can do when curiosity takes the wheel.
Everything Can Happen Here
Climb aboard the weird-wheeled car—will it rattle under you? Brave the Mirror Maze. Mash up your faces. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap a selfie with legendary scientists. Multiply into 100 yous inside the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand in the middle of infinity in the Mirror Room. Flex your logic. See who’s the boldest fakir. Walk the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank up a vortex. Try air basketball. Catch four daily shows on the Öveges Stage. Spin into experiments at the Richter Gedeon Lab—coat and safety goggles on—then run thrilling tests. And that’s only the opening chapter of the wonders waiting inside.
Make a Day of It
Play like kids again. Spend 3–4 carefree hours—or stay the whole day. Either way, you’ll leave lighter, brighter, and a bit glowier from all the “aha” moments.
Friday Öveges Hall Schedule
Beyond the interactive zones, Fridays feature science shows worth planning around:
11:00 Bubble Show
What is a bubble and why is it round? How big can they get? How does a pond skater stay on the surface? Learn the physics of bubbles, see giant ones come to life, discover why a bubble can glow, and pick up the secret recipe for seriously good bubble mix.
13:00 Spectacular Science
High drama, high voltage. Dive into a world ruled by the raw laws of physics as the presenter unleashes favorite experiments that dazzle and teach in equal measure.
15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show
Physics and chemistry share the spotlight in a fast-paced set of the presenter’s most eye-popping demos, where reactions pop, flame, fizz, and fly.
17:00 Glowing Stage
Hot moments for the smallest scientists too: playful first steps into the physics of fire and heat. Fiery experiments you should never try at home—absolutely worth watching here.
