Belevenissenbos Lelystad

At the edge of Lelystad, near the IJsselmeer, lies the Belevenissenbos, the largest play forest in the Netherlands. With over 40 hectares of land and 140 play equipment, the Belevenissenbos offers hours of fun. Children can have a great time while parents enjoy nature. The park has hundreds of play areas, dozens of play opportunities, kilometers of walking routes, and exciting water features. What makes this park special is the 'natural play' concept, where the play equipment is made of natural materials. An ideal outing with children!

Hansel and Gretel

In the middle of the Flevoland polder landscape lies the Hans and Grietje play park, where fairy tales come to life. Children can reenact the story of Hans & Grietje in the candy house, frolic in the large haystack, race on the go-kart track, or cool off in the water park around the Witch's Tree. Follow the Crumb Trail and experience the fairy tale yourself.

At Hansel and Gretel's, you can also enjoy a pancake, but this is not a standard pancake house. Here, rooms are upside down, floors move, and tables are bewitched. Before you know it, you have your neighbor's pancake on your plate.

Walibi Holland

At Walibi Holland In Biddinghuizen, you can have an amazing day with the whole family, relatives, or friends. Scream your lungs out in the longest roller coaster in the Benelux, enjoy a thrilling splash battle with the whole family, or admire the magic tricks of Merlin the wizard in his castle. The real thrill-seekers can get their adrenaline fix on one of the 11 thrill rides with terrifying heights. This park has rightfully been named the most spectacular amusement park in the Netherlands. But Walibi Holland also caters to the little ones with a special children's area. In short, a day at Walibi Holland is suitable for both young and old!
