On the occasion of the Hungarian Culture Day, Hungary’s first rural zoo and botanical garden and only classic amusement park is pleased to announce its renewed calendar of events for 2025. Zoo Debrecen will offer a wide and varied program of events in addition to its traditional and popular events this year.
In recent years, the Park has increasingly focused on diversifying its portfolio of services, expanding and renewing the quality of events that fit the profile of the Culture Park. As a result, last year the Park welcomed nearly 50,000 guests specifically for its events. In 2025, the Park, which is open every day of the year, is preparing 117 days of events and a number of exciting new features for its returning and new guests.
Among the highlights, one of the most anticipated events of the spring program is the Easter theme park season, which starts with Easter, following the winter events (Chirpy Family Day, Bear Carnival). New to the spring program will be the May Day and the 1st Charity Run, both linked to the anniversary of the founding of Zoo Debrecen. After the “La Dolce Vita” Mediterranean Days, the May program will conclude with the inevitable Children’s Day long weekend. This summer’s focus will be on the Amusement Park, with new attractions and nightlife. In addition to the Fantasy Day, launched last year, there will be 5 evening amusement park attractions. The public will be able to experience the exclusive and special atmosphere of the Park’s summer gardens during the evening strolls through the zoo. Galiba, the largest children’s festival in the region, offers 5 days of unforgettable entertainment for the whole family. While the popular Night of the Zoos will bring the summer to a fitting close.
The rich program of events continues in autumn, with events such as the Little Railway Weekend, World Animal Week and Asia Days celebrating the diversity of the created world. From mid-October, the magic of light will be brought to life with the renewed themed Garden of Lights attraction. While Halloween’s nightmarish activities will provide thrills and spills with never-before-seen visuals. The first Winter Magic in the Amusement Park event in 2025 will offer an even more magical atmosphere and unique experiences during the winter holidays. The last zoo event of the year, Christmas with the Animals, will close the year 2025.
Zoo Debrecen not only aims to provide recreation and entertainment but also pays special attention to environmental education and sensitization. This is why during the year, guests will not only be able to see their programs in the Park, but they will also try to bring the message of love for nature to as many people as possible.
The sale of events will also be renewed. Early bird tickets for major events will be available from this March, allowing visitors to secure their place at the most popular events of the year early and at a discounted price. In addition, season tickets are still available at last year’s prices until 15 March.
