What You’ll Do
Anything can happen at Csopa (Centre of Scientific Wonders). Climb into the car with the weird wheels—will it rattle beneath you? Conquer the Mirror Labyrinth. Mash up your faces in a mind-bending morph. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Become a crowd of 100 inside the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand in the middle of infinity in the Mirror Room. Test your logic. See who’s the bravest fakir. Walk on clouds with the Flying Reflection. Spin up a vortex. Try air basketball. Catch daily shows on the Öveges Stage—four times a day. Don lab coats and goggles in the Richter Gedeon Lab and run thrilling experiments. And that’s just the start.
Science Shows on Friday
Time your visit to catch the live demos that turn physics and chemistry into pure spectacle.
11:00 Bubble Show. What is a bubble, why is it round, and how big can it get? Learn why water striders don’t sink, watch giant bubbles take shape, see bubbles glow, and uncover the secret recipe for the perfect bubble solution. Family-friendly and seriously wow.
13:00 Spectacular Science. Peak visuals and maximum suspense. The presenter unleashes favorite experiments from a world ruled by the wild laws of physics.
15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show. Double down on drama as physics and chemistry join forces. The host rolls out the boldest, most eye-popping experiments in the lineup.
17:00 Glowing Stage. Hot moments for the youngest explorers, too: playful encounters with flames and heat. Fiery demos you should never try at home.
