Family Fun Weekend

Zoo, coal mine, toboggan, indoor snow and a castle full of knights — two days your kids will not forget.

Parkstad and Valkenburg pack the highest density of family attractions in the Netherlands into twenty minutes of driving. This weekend alternates outdoor and indoor stops so the weather can do whatever it wants. Every stop has been chosen to work for both a 5-year-old and a 15-year-old.
