National Outdoor Play Day at Marres!

On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, the whole country turns into one big playground — and Marres is joining in! Come play outside in our delightful city garden.

Make your own witch’s brew, smell fragrant flowers, taste fresh elderflower, and search for all the colors of the rainbow.

Let your senses be stimulated and your imagination run wild! Be sure to wear old clothes, because getting dirty is not just allowed — it’s a must!

Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Location: The city garden of Marres in Maastricht
The garden is free to enter

For parents, there’s the option to visit the Vultures & Fireflies exhibition, enjoy reading a book in the garden, or relax at Marres Kitchen.

Marres education

Marres offers an education program for – and together with – schools at all learning levels. Central to these projects is the training of perception. In interactive programs at school or at Marres, pupils, schoolchildren and students discover what sensory knowledge comes from experiencing contemporary art.
