Looking for beavers!

Put on your boots and set off on an adventure in the Biesbosch! There’s plenty to do at the Biesbosch Center. Go on the beaver scavenger hunt, build your own beaver lodge, or scramble through the climbing forest. Take a nice walk or bike ride and stop by the Zuileshoeve along the way. With a little luck, you might spot some rare birds.

Nice weather? Rent an electric boat, canoe, or SUP and paddle through the quiet creeks of the Biesbosch. Bring a picnic or grab a tasty treat at Brasserie Biezz. And at the Merwelanden, kids can have a great time playing in the playground.

Learn all about climate, water, and sustainability

Next to the playground in Weizigtpark lies Weizigt: a green space in the heart of Dordrecht where there’s plenty to discover. Admission is free. On the grounds, you’ll find a sustainable urban farm, the Aquarama with a fun exhibition about water, beautiful gardens, a climate greenhouse, and an apiary.

Weizigt is a fun and educational place where children can learn more about nature and sustainability through play. It’s a perfect outing for the whole family.
