The day fills up quickly: in addition to charming parks, playgrounds, fun museums, and kid-friendly restaurants and cafes, you can also enjoy exploring De Biesbosch National Park with your children.
Start your day surrounded by nature at the Biesbosch Center in Dordrecht. Take the little ones on a beaver scavenger hunt along the beaver trail and learn all about the animals and plants that live in this nature reserve in a fun way at the Biesbosch Center. Take off your shoes for the barefoot trail and enjoy a snack at the picnic tables. For older children, you can also go canoeing or take an electric boat from here, or climb in the climbing forest!
After all that adventure, it’s time to relax for a bit. Settle in atVilla Augustus, where the kids can run around, explore the vegetable garden, or climb on the tractor. Meanwhile, you can enjoy a delicious lunch made with produce from our own garden, served on the charming terrace.
