On the Day of the Party

At De Drentse Koe, you can largely decide how the day unfolds. Some groups head straight off to play in the play barns and outdoors. Others prefer to start at the table with unlimited squash, a platter of crisps, cream puffs and sweets, and some time to unwrap presents.

After that, the children can enjoy playing at our family play farm with its own ice cream. There’s a break for chips and a snack, then it’s straight back to playing. Whether in the play barns, outdoors among the play equipment or near the animals, there’s plenty to enjoy. And of course, a scoop of Drentse Koe IJs ice cream is part of the fun too.

How the day unfolds mainly depends on what time you arrive, your booked time slot and what the children feel like doing. Just enjoy playing, eating and having fun together at your own pace.
