Why De Drentse Koe is a good choice for families from Steenwijk
When planning a family get-together, you want everyone to have a good time. Children want to explore and stay active, while adults want to relax, catch up and perhaps join in with some activities themselves.
De Drentse Koe is suitable for all kinds of groups, from families with young children to larger gatherings with grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and friends.
For groups of all sizes
Whether you’re coming with a small group or a large gathering, there are different options to choose from. At De Drentse Koe, we’ll take your group size, preferred package and plans for the day into account.
Having your own group room gives everyone a place to relax and keeps the day organised. You can gather there at the start, enjoy food and drinks together, and return whenever you need a break.
For all ages
A family get-together works best when there’s a choice of activities. Not everyone has to do the same thing. Children can play, adults can sit back or join in, and older family members can relax and watch.
This creates a day with time to enjoy each other’s company, relax and take part in activities.
Indoor and Outdoor Play
The weather doesn’t have to spoil the day.
In good weather, you can make the most of the outdoor areas. If it’s rainy or cold, there’s still plenty to do indoors.
Food and drinks
Organising a family get-together is easier when food and drinks are taken care of. Options include coffee, tea, cake, lunch, pancakes, chips or a buffet.
We’ll take care of the essentials so you can relax and enjoy spending time together.
