KIDS’

ADVENTURE

STROLL

Discovering a town through children’s eyes is much more ex-
citing than classical sightseeing, especially in Debrecen, where
you can fi nd something thrilling at every corner which provides
an unforgettable experience for each member of the family.
Even the town’s symbol, the Reformed Great Church, prom-
ises real adventures. It is a serious challenge to count the steps
leading up to the loft of the church, but it is worth it, because
the dome can be seen from the “inside out”. On the panoramic
bridge between the two church towers, even the biggest ones
look small, especially when the photo is taken from below. In
the school history exhibition of the museum of the Reformed
College of Debrecen, anyone, who does not fi nd the school’s
curriculum too strict, can be a young pupil again.
However, every child wants to experience how to live like an
adult. In the Déri Museum, they can try it: they can become a
gingerbread maker or an archaeologist, or a scientist and as-
tronomer in the Agora Scientifi c Experience Centre. In the Chef
Academy of Debrecen, children can learn to cook under the
watchful eye of a professional chef. If no profession is exciting
enough, the kids can dream up their own empire in the Small
World interactive playhouse or in the Vojtina Puppet Theatre.
At the Fog Theatre, the “toddlers” emerging from the water
surface tempt them to take a chilly walk “on the water”, or,
equipped as mountaineers, they can climb up the Water Tow-
er of Nagyerdő. In the Zoo, they can walk with the penguins be-
fore or after they enjoy the amusement park. In the winter, you
can make selfi es about your adventures in Debrecen while ice-
skating in the Great Forest’s park or while sitting on the ferris
wheel at the downtown Advent Fair.
When the sun is shining brightly, you should enjoy the adven-
tures of the Nagyerdei Park and the Five Acre Park, the popu-
lar playgrounds of the town, or visit Kerekerdő Élménypark
(Round Forest Adventure Park) by the Zsuzsi steam train, and
lose yourself in the world of tales! The programme can be inter-
rupted anywhere and at any time, and resumed and repeated
over and over again.
