Looking for fun outings with kids in the Biesbosch Line? The petting zoo, a climbing park, the pancake boat.... We have put together a list of the best activities for children of all ages. In fine weather, but also in less fine weather.
De Pannekoekenbakker is quite an experience in itself! Enjoy, on a boat overlooking the Meuse, more than 200 (!) different pancakes. Children can choose for example a princess or pirate pancake. Afterwards they can use their tokens to pick out a present in the gourmet store. Happy faces guaranteed!
Kinderboerderij Floreffehoeve in Werkendam is good for a whole afternoon of fun. Besides the animals, there is also a playground where children can have a great time full of (running) bikes, go-karts, scooters, etc. Just relax with a bag of chips or an ice cream, and on you go! (O)pa and (o)ma can sit comfortably on a bench with a cup of coffee or tea.
Children can have a blast at Slot Loevestein. They can dress up as a damsel or knight, escape from Hugo de Groot's book chest, and explore the castle with their own key.
Slot Loevestein is part of the fortified town triangle. All locations in the fortified town triangle are connected by water. From Woudrichem you can take the foot ferry or the large ferry to Loevestein. This boat trip alone is worth it!
Enjoy climbing and scrambling at their own level: that's possible at Klimpark Biesbosch. With 7 courses and 75 obstacles on an island, children can be active in nature on the edge of the Biesbosch. Safe and sound, they choose the route that suits their level. There is also more than 400 meters of zipline. For the kids there is a special children's zipline course.
Children can totally expend their energy in the subtropical swimming paradise at De Kurenpolder. Features include a slide up to 100 meters long, rapids, bubbling bench and jacuzzi. Every Friday there is disco swimming and the music and lights go on.
In the summer there is also plenty to do outside, such as play equipment to clamber around in or the skate park where the toughest stunts are performed. They can also jump on trampolines and play table tennis.
Starting in April, Kasteel Dussen is open every Sunday to visit on your own or book a guided tour. There are also regular events. You can find an overview of all activities in Kasteel Dussen 's calendar.
At number 29 of all cinemas in the Netherlands is "our" Hollywoud. Press the button and a server comes to take your order. Just during the movie! The popcorn is popped and is right in front of your nose. Without missing anything of the movie. A great outing for children.
From the Biesboschlinie, the Efteling is easily accessible. Depending on the starting point, you can be in Kaatsheuvel in as little as 20 minutes. Walk with your little one through the Fairytale Forest, dream away in the Droomvlucht or go on the super-fast roller coaster Max & Mortiz for the older kids.
Tie the laces, shake the muscles loose, take a deep breath, shoulders straight, chin up and ... scavenge away! This scavenger hunt runs for 1.5 hours and is super fun to do with kids. Ask someone on the street for help if you don't know an answer. Maybe you'll hear an exciting story from a real Woerkumer!

Tip: Inside the fortified town is the Fisheries Museum. Nice to take a look there. Children can make their own jump rope there.
Want to make it a sporty day on the water? Rent a canoe and explore the Biesbosch. Let children search for beavers and beaver tracks. Then moor the canoe to enjoy a picnic.
Tip: go on a quiet day, such as a study day. That way you can canoe at your own pace and there is no heavy boating traffic.
Because of the fifth anniversary of the municipality of Altena, we developed five new routes. One of them is the gnome route through the Almbos. Search along and find the gnome children's nuggets. This route lets children run, climb, search and guess. Nice and active and outdoors!
We also had a coloring page created. Click on the image to the right to download the coloring page.
Explore Biesbosch MuseumEiland through ten hotspots in an interactive way. Virtual guides Maas and Liam take you through the museum and show you how people used to work. From cane cutting to building a sinker. Afterwards, take the quiz to see what you learned.
You can do the tour with your own phone. If you don't have one, you can borrow an iPad.
Restaurants and lunch spots abound in the Biesbosch Line. Of course, we already mentioned De Pannekoekenbakker. What is also very nice is Brasserie de Laegt. There children can play in the playground, playroom and even at the petting zoo. At Bistro de Heerlijckheid there is also a small playground.
Parents and children are exhausted and fulfilled after a day at Biesbosch Line. Sleep literally ón the Biesbosch water in a AquaHome (children find this super fun, of course!). Prefer the mainland? Then camp at farm campsite De Speeltol where children can have fun in the on-site nature playground. Or camp in a hiker's hut in the middle of the Biesbosch. When the sun goes down, the beavers show themselves among the reeds in search of food and tree roots. If it's clear, you can see a huge starry sky.
