A family celebration with space for everyone
A family day is often more than just a day out. You may be celebrating a birthday, anniversary or another family occasion. In that case, you want a place where everyone can enjoy themselves.
At De Drentse Koe, the family can start the day together in a private group room. Afterwards, children can play, adults can sit and relax, and anyone who wants to can join in a game or head outside.
This makes for an enjoyable family day without the need for a fixed schedule.
For all ages
A family day works well when there is something for everyone. Younger children can play, while older children can explore. Adults can relax, catch up or join in.
This keeps the day enjoyable for all ages.
For small and large families
Are you coming with a small family group or a larger group? We will work with you to find the right package, private group room and practical arrangements for the day.
When making your enquiry, let us know how many adults and children will be coming. This helps us advise you on the best options.
Together, but without having to do everything at the same time
Not everyone has to do the same activity at the same time. Children can play while adults enjoy a drink. In between, the group can come back together for food, drinks or a chance to relax.
This keeps the day relaxed and easy for everyone.
