Playground Klein Zwitserland

One of the oldest playgrounds in the Netherlands, and still a blast for children up to 12 years old. Think zip lines, wooden towers, climbing frames, and even a toddler corner. Everything is outdoors, nestled among the trees — old-fashioned fun. There’s an entrance fee, but you can easily spend half a day there. A 15-minute drive and great for kids aged 2 to 12 and grandparents.
