Children’s activities in Drenthe

The province of Drenthe is the coolest playground in the Netherlands. Leave your iPads and computer games at home; your children will be able to go on amazing adventures, not behind a screen, but out in nature: climbing and romping through the woods, going out with the local shepherd, visiting the gnomes, or spotting wild animals at WILDLANDS Adventure Zoo in Emmen. For both children and parents alike, every day is a celebration when you’re in Drenthe!

 

WILDLANDS Adventure Zoo

Go on an expedition at WILDLANDS Adventure Zoo! Explore the jungle by boat or on foot and meet the elephant family.  Or spot rhinos and giraffes up close during a truck safari across the savannah.
