Indoor and outdoor play, whatever the weather

There’s plenty of space outdoors. Children can enjoy the outdoor playground, pedal tractors, sandpit, play equipment, animal area and seasonal activities.
This keeps the day varied, even if you’re not sure in the morning what the weather will be like later on.
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 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.
