Over 100 top international exhibitors will fill 26,900 square feet with everything related to terraristics and aquaristics, attracting thousands of visitors and animal lovers from across Central Europe and beyond.
So, What Is TerraPlaza?
Think of it as the ultimate destination for anyone curious about exotic animals. Whether you want to quickly marvel at rare reptiles, snakes, amphibians, and colorful fish, or plan to spend the whole day absorbing expert knowledge and meeting breeders, TerraPlaza delivers. At the center are the hobby’s leading figures, presenting their newest species, unique varieties, and the latest care techniques. If you want to be the first to know about hot trends or just want to meet passionate specialists, there’s nowhere better.
A Community That Keeps Growing
More than just an expo, TerraPlaza is a fast-growing, vibrant community now counting over 40,000 members. Here’s your chance to discover, learn, and immerse yourself in a group where a love for nature and science-driven animal care means everything. You won’t just meet rare animals up close—you’ll talk with people whose passion is contagious, exchanging ideas, tips, and experiences.
More Than Terrariums
While terraristics is at its heart, TerraPlaza has greatly expanded into aquaristics, making it the ultimate meeting place in Hungary for both reptile and aquarium enthusiasts. Alongside the animals, expect engaging exhibitions, workshops, and plenty of educational programs on conservation and animal welfare.
