On October 19, TerraPlaza returns to Budapest’s Lurdy Conference and Event Center, transforming 28,000 square feet into a playground for exotic pet enthusiasts. Celebrating its 58th edition, this international expo draws over 100 handpicked exhibitors from around the world and several thousand visitors for a single vibrant Sunday dedicated to all things scaly, feathery, and finned.
It’s More Than Just an Expo
Calling TerraPlaza just an animal exhibit misses the point. Over the years, it has evolved into a full-blown lifestyle event and a lively community center for hobbyists, breeders, and animal lovers. Whether you’re casually curious, searching for your next pet, or deeply involved in the hobby, there’s plenty of diversity here for everyone. Some visitors do a quick tour in two hours; others spend the entire day, soaking up talks, browsing live animals, and learning from award-winning breeders.
Dive Deep Into the Animal Kingdom
The range is staggering: reptiles, amphibians, insects, spiders, rare fish, and more. TerraPlaza has become Hungary’s (Magyarország) largest meeting point for both terrarium and aquarium enthusiasts, thanks to its steady expansion. Beyond the animals, visitors enjoy engaging displays, conservation talks, and animal welfare sessions—all rooted in scientific, responsible care.
Hands-On, Head-First
What sets TerraPlaza apart isn’t just the variety of species, but the personal touch. Every animal shown or sold passes strict veterinary checks and complies with animal protection laws, ensuring only healthy, well-cared-for creatures are on display. Shop directly from specialist breeders, receive expert tips, and find your new pet at friendly prices—all in one place.
A Growing Community
More than 40,000 devoted members can’t be wrong: this is the hub for making connections, sharing experiences, and being part of something bigger. Whether you’re looking for a rare tarantula, the latest chameleon morph, or just want to geek out over aquariums, you’ll find your community here.
Doors are open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Children under six enter free; tickets start at $4 after 4:00 pm. Can’t make it in October? TerraPlaza returns to Budapest (Budapest) four more times in 2025 and three times in 2026, keeping the adventure—and the animals—coming.
