On 12 December, we officially opened the new play barn together with provincial executive Gert-Jan Schuinder. The new play barn includes a new food and drinks area and several new activities. Children can ride electric tractors, go roller skating, try fun bowling, dodge lasers on the laser course or bounce on the brand-new haystack-shaped bouncy castle.There is also a dedicated toddler play area, where toddlers can play safely while parents and carers enjoy a cup of coffee. A brand-new stage has also been built especially for the Lisa & Loetje show. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
