What Debrecen Offers for Families This March

The approach of spring is already perceptible in everyday life: longer days and milder weather make us even more inclined towards shared family activities. In March, the city of Debrecen is once again preparing a wide range of events and leisure opportunities to help you make the most of the season.

Sunday 1 March: A full day of experiences at Agóra

Agóra is a unique attraction within the region, promising exciting adventures and lifelong experiences for all age groups. Here, play and entertainment are combined with learning, as children and adults alike can discover special devices and fascinating scientific phenomena. Light Island, the planetarium and humanoid robots are just some of the attractions to explore at Agóra on 1 March.

Saturday 7 March: Spring Welcome Weekend at Aquaticum
Take a dip, get moving and get creative at Aquaticum: water games, flower-making workshops, aquafitness and cheerful Zumba await children and their families, while the youngest visitors are entertained by Pöttöm Pancsi’s musical, playful sessions.

Sunday 8 March: Firkalak at MODEM
Held every second Sunday, Firkalak is primarily aimed at children aged 6–10. During the session, MODEM’s friendly art educators help youngsters with creative work and self-expression within the framework of an enjoyable programme.

Tuesday 10 March: Pollinators’ Day at the Zoo
To mark Pollinators’ Day, Zoo Debrecen is also joining the awareness-raising initiative that highlights the importance of pollinating species. Throughout the day, visitors can engage with educational content and activities.

Sunday 22 March: A Tale of the Bird’s Nest at Vojtina Puppet Theatre
In March, Vojtina Puppet Theatre once again welcomes young and old alike with a range of educational, moving and humorous performances featuring engaging stories and beautiful visuals. The production entitled A Tale of the Bird’s Nest tells a thought-provoking and instructive story for attentive audiences.

Friday 27 March: The Jungle Book at Csokonai Theatre
In the production directed by Norbert Nagy, each character fights for their own truth and sense of justice. Yet in this Debrecen adaptation, using the wonderful compositions of the composer duo László Dés and Péter Geszti, the tale once again proves that neither violence nor an unconditional desire to win can resolve tensions—only tenderness and genuine emotion can do so.
