9:30 Start the day in nature
Start that nicely in nature at the Biesboschcentrum Dordrecht. Go on a beaver scavenger hunt with the little ones along the beaver route and learn in a playful way, in the Biesboschcentrum, everything about the animals and plants that live in this nature reserve. Take off your shoes for the barefoot path and enjoy something tasty at the picnic tables. For the slightly older children you can also go sailing with a canoe or whisper boat , or climb in the climbing forest !
13:00 Time for a tasty lunch
After all that adventure, it's time to relax. Settle down at Villa Augustus , where the children can run around, explore the vegetable garden or climb on the tractor. In the meantime, you can enjoy a delicious lunch from your own garden, served on the atmospheric terrace.
14:30 Ready for a bit of culture
After lunch it is time to dive into the city and soak up some culture . Choose from one of the child-friendly museums . Both the Dordrechts Museum , Huis Van Gijn and the Hof van Nederland offer fun children's activities and interactive exhibitions. From treasure hunts to dressing up and even a ball pit!
16:00 Let off steam in the playground
After visiting the museum, it is time to play. In the Park Merwestein or Wantijpark, children can enjoy themselves on the playground equipment.
Is it a summer day? Then the Paddenstoel – a small water playground – is open for extra water fun. Still have energy left? At Het Magazijn , parents can have a drink in the cozy courtyard, while the children climb and clamber in the tree house.
