Budapest, Óbuda (Old Buda), Mátyás király Road (Mátyás király út) 24. The Palace of Wonders throws open its doors every Wednesday in 2026 with 250 hands-on games and curiosities that light up every age group. Families can dive into themed zones packed with challenges that spark teamwork and leave everyone buzzing for days. From preschoolers to teens and grown-ups who love a good brain teaser, this is a place to test limits, laugh hard, and discover skills you didn’t know you had. Plan 3–4 carefree hours—or go all in for the whole day.
Hands-on thrills for every age
Start with the car on weird wheels—does it really rattle under you? Conquer the Mirror Maze. Swap faces in a mash-up that’s equal parts creepy and hilarious. Shake hands with yourself using just one hand. Buckle into a Moon Rover. Snap a selfie with the greatest scientists. Split into a hundred versions of yourself inside the Giant Kaleidoscope. Stand at the center of infinity in the Mirror Room. Battle it out in logic games. Who’s the bravest fakir in your crew? Walk among the clouds with the Flying Reflection. Crank up a vortex. Try air basketball. Then hit the Öveges Stage—four times a day—for spectacular demos. Spin into action at the Richter Gedeon Lab: lab coat on, goggles down, and jump into bold experiments. And that’s just the start—there are countless more wonders waiting.
