In Budapest’s Óbuda District, a two-story establishment invites experimental souls to dive into a wonderful world of scientific sensations, immersive 9D cinema settings, mystical escape rooms, exciting experiments, and great games with augmented features. The interactive amenities are available across some 5,000 square meters within the Buda Entertainment and Gastro Center on Bécsi Avenue, the new location of the Center of Scientific Wonders, where the fascinating facility has merged with the CsoPa Playbar.
Open up all of your senses by entering the Center of Scientific Wonders – an edifying playground for those who are young at heart – and immerse in Newton’s earthshaking findings in physics, allow illusions to trick your mind, or observe and touching the surrounding settings. Budapest’s amusing educational establishment shifted to a new location at the end of September to merge with the CsoPa Playbar, a move that made the high-spirited space bigger than ever. This joint interactive site now boasts hundreds of attractions, including scientific exhibitions, facilities providing optical illusions, a laboratory for enlightening experiments, thematic escape rooms, multidimensional cinema halls, and ordinary games that are intriguingly altered.
Navigating the multiple halls across the new Center of Scientific Wonders, we encounter plenty of peculiar phenomena. In one room, mirrors are mounted from floor to ceiling, while psychedelic wallpaper covers the walls, makes standing at this endless space feel as though we were floating in an infinite elevator shaft. Stepping into the time-bending World of Birth exhibitionhall, visitors experience what a fetus perceives from the world outside, while inside the Richter Gedeon laboratory, we get a sneak peek into intricate processes of physics, chemistry, and biology.
Across this interactive center of knowledge, numerous unconventional games welcome visitors to spend a few playful minutes or more – an altered table-tennis facility accommodates eight people competing at the same time, while footballers kick oversized billiard balls within an in-house soccer field. In addition, thematic escape rooms await with action-packed scenes, while movie maniacs can fight the elements inside 9D cinema halls, where fog, smoke, and smells intermingle in the air. At the Palace of Scientific Wonders, it’s easy to lose track of time, and we might only ascend from its enlightening settings way after sundown, since the expanded entertainment hub is now open every day from 10am to 8pm.
