A fun day out from Steenwijk with children
A day out with the kids is easier when there’s plenty to do without having to plan too much. At De Drentse Koe, everything is in one place.
There is plenty of space to play, food and drinks are available, toilets are close by and parking is free. This makes De Drentse Koe a convenient day out for families from Zwolle, Emmen or Hardenberg.

Indoor and outdoor play in any weather
At De Drentse Koe, you don’t have to choose between indoor and outdoor play. You can enjoy both.
Inside the play barns, children can play in all weather. They’re ideal for rain, cold or changeable weather. There are quieter areas where younger children can play at their own pace.
Outdoors, there is plenty of space to get moving. Children can enjoy the outdoor playground, pedal tractors, sandpit, play equipment, animal area and seasonal activities.
This keeps the day varied, even when the weather doesn’t quite do what you’d like.
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.
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, a bouncy castle for toddlers, pedal tractors, a sandpit, a play area with rocking horses and the animal area.
Parents can easily keep an eye on their children, making for a more relaxed day out.
Also Fun for Older Children
