Budapest’s Palace of Wonders (Csodák Palotája) throws open its doors on Fridays in 2026 with 250 interactive games to spark curiosity, teamwork, and lots of laughs. Families can roam themed zones designed for every age, from preschoolers to teens, and leave buzzing about discoveries they made together. The venue sits in Óbuda at 1036 Budapest, 24 King Matthias Street (Mátyás király út 24.), ready for a full day of hands-on science play and brain-bending illusions.
Family Fun, No Age Limit
Bring the whole crew if you want a shared adventure that sticks. Experiences start from age 3 but land just as well with older kids and adults. A visit to “Csopa” may reveal hidden talents you didn’t know you had. Test yourselves, race each other, and be amazed at what your kids or partner can do when puzzles, physics, and perception games flip expectations. Plan 3–4 carefree hours, or settle in for a full day if you’re on a roll.
Try-It-All Highlights
Anything can happen here. Climb into the odd-wheeled car and feel every wobble. Brave the Mirror Labyrinth. Mash up your faces at a hilarious morphing station. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Hop into a Moon Rover. Snap selfies with the greatest scientists. Multiply into a crowd of 100 in the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at infinity in the Mirror Room. Flex your logic with brainteasers. Find out who’s the boldest fakir. Float among clouds with the Flying Reflection. Spin a vortex. Play air basketball. Catch four daily shows on the Öveges Stage. Suit up in a coat and goggles at the Richter Gedeon lab to run hands-on experiments. And that’s just the start—there are many more wonders to uncover.

Alongside the exhibits, Friday packs in live science shows—time your visit to see at least one.
11:00 Bubble Show: What is a bubble? Why is it round? How big can it get? Learn the physics of bubbles, watch giant bubbles take shape, see what makes one glow, and hear the secret formula for the perfect bubble liquid.

15:00 Richter Gedeon Science Show: A high-energy mix of physics and chemistry with the most eye-popping demos.
