A day out from Kampen with children

Een dagje uit met kinderen werkt het beste als er genoeg te doen is, zonder dat het ingewikkeld wordt. Bij De Drentse Koe ligt alles op één plek. Binnen spelen, buiten spelen, horecagelegenheden, toiletten, terras en gratis parkeren dichtbij.

That also makes it convenient for families from Meppel, Zwolle or Hardenberg. There’s no need to keep finding your way around, move from place to place or plan a packed schedule. Children can play while parents watch, join in or simply sit and relax.

That’s also helpful when visiting with young children. The grounds are easy to keep an eye on, and there are quiet areas for little ones.

Indoor and Outdoor Play

Bij De Drentse Koe hoef je niet te kiezen tussen een binnenspeeltuin en buiten spelen. Je hebt het allebei.

Indoors, children can play in the play barns, climbing, scrambling, jumping and exploring. There are separate areas for younger children where they can play at their own pace.

Outdoors, there’s plenty of space to run around. Children can enjoy the outdoor playground, sandpit, animal area, pedal tractors and play equipment. During the season, there are extra activities, such as the maize maze and water play.

This makes a day out from Kampen varied and enjoyable for toddlers, preschoolers, younger children and older children alike.

What Can Children Do?

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.

Bouncy castles are part of any day out with children. Jump, laugh, fall over and get back up again.

At De Drentse Koe, there are bouncy castles both indoors and outdoors. So there’s almost always somewhere for children to burn off some energy.

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 atmosphere at De Drentse Koe: playing among the cows, right here at our 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.

Fun for young children

With young children, it’s important to have everything within easy reach. You don’t want to walk too far, keep searching for toilets or run out of things to do.

At De Drentse Koe, toddlers and preschoolers can enjoy the toddler play area, toddler bouncy castle, pedal tractors, sandpit, play area with rocking horses and animal area.

Parents can easily keep an eye on their children, making it a relaxing day out for adults too.

At De Drentse Koe, there’s plenty of room for active play. Children can burn off energy on the outdoor play equipment, in the indoor play barns and during seasonal activities.

Visiting with children of different ages? That makes things easier, as everyone can find something they enjoy.
