The 11 luxury Safari Tents are on a large field adjacent to the adventure forest. In the middle of the field your mini-farmers can entertain themselves splashing around at the water playground or bouncing around at the playground while you relax in a chair watching.

At the edge of the Drents-Friese Wold is a great adventure and climbing park. All routes start from the central tower at 5.5 meters high and there is a variety of climbing obstacles ranging from 4 meters to 14 meters in height. This climbing park is suitable for everyone over 1 meter 40 centimeters tall.
Nature
The name says it all: here you see mostly animals that live in and around water. There are penguins, seals, tapirs and capybaras, among others. Water inhabitants such as carp, windes and sea bears are also not lacking. But plenty of animals live on land too, which you can admire from a short distance away. Ring-tailed lemurs even roam freely among the visitors.
Nature
A short distance from the farm you will find the Oranjewoud nature reserve. In this historic forest park you will find stately country houses. If you climb the Belvédère watchtower, you have a beautiful view over the forest.
Nature
When you experience it from the water by canoe or silent electrical boat this park is probably best described as an amazing large green maze of reeds. Trees, the water, the birds… a magnificent nature reserve.
Nature
Not even 30 km form the farm, you will find the ‘Orchideeënhoeve’ (orchid farm), where you can spot flamingos, have lunch in the flower garden, take selfies by the waterfall or admire beautiful tropical butterflies.
Culture
The Frisian Museum of Natural History dates from 1923 and is a unique day out! The permanent exhibition is intended for visitors from 8 till 88. The presentation is in the style of storytelling like a novel, and the museum is a collection of short stories. One of these short stories for example tells all about teeth. This is done in a theatre-like presentation. The teeth are presented in a real dental practice, there’s a waiting room and once it’s your turn you have to sit down in a real dental chair. Another presentation tells the story of poo. Everything you always wanted to know about poo but were too afraid to ask is explained in a realistic toilet unit with water closets as showcases!
Culture
The idyllic village of Giethoorn is also known as Dutch Venice. 170 small wooden bridges invite you for a scenic tour on foot of the village, but it is best experienced by taking an organised boat tour or canoe.
Culture
Typical for Friesland, of course, are its windmills. Did you know that there are as many as 124 mills in Friesland. From Polder mills to Wheat and Husk mills. Very many mills can also be visited and are still in use.
