Relaxed family outing in the Debrecen City Park

Debrececen City ParkDebrecen and surroundings

Did you come to the city with children? Then head for the Great Forest Park. Just a short walk from the city centre is one of Debrecen’s most popular locations, with numerous activities on offer under the 100-year-old trees for young and old alike.

 If the weather is good, it’s worth visiting the Great Forest Water Tower where, in addition to a rock-climbing wall and a wine terrace, evening music concerts provide entertainment, while sunbeds placed at nearby Békás Pond are perfect for carefree sunbathing. In the evening, it’s worth staying in the area for the memorable production of the ‘Mist Theatre’

Recreation in Zoo Debrecen

Great Forest Park holds plenty of entertainment opportunities: its forest railway goes around the Debrecen Zoo and Amusement Park, where kids can get to know nearly 900 animals of 170 species from five continents, in a 17-hectare protected area. If you have time left, try the interactive tools of the three-storey Agora Science Centre. In summer, it’s worth heading to the open-air theatre hidden among enormous towering pines and oaks, which hosts an array of musical and theatrical performances from early May to late September.
