Organising a family get-together in Drenthe
Organising a family get-together means finding a place where everyone feels comfortable. Younger children want to play, while adults want to sit and relax, have a coffee or enjoy an activity together. And families often include people of different ages.
At De Drentse Koe, these things go well together. Children can burn off some energy in the play barns or outdoors, while adults can relax on the terrace, watch the children play or join in with activities such as traditional Dutch games or farmer’s billiards.
The result is a family get-together that is fun for the children and enjoyable for the adults too.

Suitable for all ages
A family often includes children, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other relatives. That is why it is good to have activities for all ages.
At De Drentse Koe, children can enjoy active play, while adults can relax and catch up or join in with activities in their own way.
