A Day Out with the Kids in Drenthe
Looking for a day out with the kids in Drenthe where they can play and explore? At De Drentse Koe, you’ll find plenty of opportunities for indoor and outdoor play for both younger and older children.
From bouncy castles and pedal tractors to the play area with rocking horses, animal area and ice cream from the ice cream farm. Children can play freely, run around and have fun, while parents enjoy a well-organised and practical day out.
There is an indoor playground, an outdoor playground, food and drinks, toilets and a terrace. This makes it easy to spend a whole day here.
When the weather is nice, the children can play outdoors. Is it raining or a little chilly? Then there’s the heated play barn. This makes De Drentse Koe a great place for a family day out in Drenthe, whatever the season.
Indoor and Outdoor Play
At De Drentse Koe, you don’t have to choose between an indoor play centre and outdoor play. You get both.
Indoors, children can play in the play area with rocking horses, bounce on the bouncy castles or ride around on the pedal tractors. There are also separate areas where younger children and little ones can play quietly.
There’s plenty to do outdoors too. Think of the outdoor playground, animal area, sandpit and play equipment, as well as the maize maze or water play area during the season.
This keeps the day out varied for children of different ages.
A Fun Day Out for the Whole Family
A fun day out with children only really works when everyone can enjoy themselves. Not just the children, but the parents too.
Children can play and burn off some energy. Parents can watch, lend a hand or sit down with a cup of coffee for a while. The park is easy to keep an eye on, so you don’t have to constantly follow the children around.
For families with young children, that’s particularly convenient. Everything is close by, and there’s plenty to do without making the day feel too full.
The play area with rocking horses is a great place for free play. Children can move around, explore and create their own games.
For younger children, this is often a pleasant place to play, as they can play at their own pace.
The pedal tractors are particularly popular with little ones and younger children. They can steer themselves, ride around and pretend they are working on the farm..
That fits perfectly with the setting at De Drentse Koe: playing among the cows, right here on a real family play farm with its own ice cream.
Outside, there is a large playground with play equipment, sand, plenty of space and places to climb. Children can run, slide and explore.
The outdoor playground is suitable for children of different ages. Younger children can play at their own pace, while older children have more space to let off steam.
At the animal area, children can watch the animals. They can see goats, donkeys, rabbits, a sheep and a pig. This makes the farm experience especially familiar to children.
For many children, this is a quiet moment in between all the playing.
In summer, water is always a hit. At De Drentse Koe, children can play in the water play area or splash park.
They can splash, play with the water and cool off. On warm days, feel free to bring a change of clothes.
During the season, children can explore the maize maze. They make their way through the maize and enjoy a little adventure on the farm.
The maize maze is a great fit for families who enjoy discovering something new alongside playing.
At certain times, Lisa & Loetje are there too. This makes the day out even more familiar for children.
Watch together, join in and then get back to playing. Just a normal part of the day.
A Day Out with Young Children
At De Drentse Koe, there is plenty of space for toddlers, preschoolers and young children to play. There’s a toddler bouncy castle, toddler play area, pedal tractors, sandpit, play area with rocking horses and animal area.

Also Fun for Older Children
Older children often want a bit more of a challenge. They like to explore on their own.
At De Drentse Koe, older children can let off steam on the play equipment, bouncy castles, outdoor play areas and seasonal activities. There’s plenty of variety to keep the day out enjoyable.
Coming with children of different ages? That’s actually handy. Everyone can find their own favourite place to play.
