- Best amusement park for young children!!
Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Amusement & Theme Parks • Rides & Activities • Playgrounds

Our kids (2,6 and 7 years old) enjoyed this park to the maximum! All games are suitable for their age. Also the fairy tales mini village, that was so much fun. We needed around 3 hours to finish the whole park (the weather was a bit rainy, so we were almost the only visitors , with a couple of other families , so on normal days, the park would certainly need 4 hours to finish). The staff was so nice. So much recommended for families with younger children. See more..

4.5 Snouck Van Loosen park (65 reviews)
- End 19th century version of social housing project
Parks

The concept of the last Snouck van Loosen family member seems to have been: working class people could also live in a park-like environment. In contrast to similar social housing projects in earlier centuries known as 'hofjes' (small courts) this one includes a park and houses that look like villas (housing several families). Very pleasant to walk around (not far from the railway station). See more..

4.5 Haarlemmerhout (51 reviews)
- Harlem in Netherlands lovely place to be
Spent 1-2 hours Parks

It’s a small beautiful place. Not far from Amsterdam, it will take you 20-25 min by train or car . Haarlem is also notable for the fact that it is located very close to the main tourist places and cities of Holland: from Schiphol, Kekenhof, Leiden, The Hague, the North Sea. For this reason, in my opinion, staying in Haarlem during a trip to Holland is a good idea.And if you do not mind drinking a glass of real Dutch beer, be sure to visit Jopenkerk, a brewery located in the building of the former church. Your eyes and taste buds will thank you! :) See more..

5.0 De Nollen (13 reviews)
- Magnificent monumental sculptures of international stature
Wednesday: Spent 2-3 hours Parks

Project "De Nollen" is a 15 hectare dune area near Den Helder that features huge metal sculptures by the Dutch artist R.W. van de Wint (1942-2006). The sculpture park is currently being developed to improve various facilities, but it is open to visitors. Van de Wint's two sons, Ruud and Gijs, are in charge of maintaining and promoting the art space. The rough, mostly rust-brown art objects are anchored in, and sometimes impressively fuse with, WWII bunkers. They merge beautifully with the unadorned dune landscape. Wandering around, the visitor continually discovers unexpected perspectives on the sculptures, some of which are reflected in artificial ponds. Several objects can, under the guidance of a volunteer, be entered -- revealing interiors with colourfully abstract paintings and natural light-play. One of them is, intriguingly, accessed via an underground tunnel, lit by candles. There are a few parking places next to De Nollen. Train station Den Helder Zuid is located right opposite. In the reception area one can enjoy a coffee or a small snack. It also can be hired for small-scale events. You are advised to check De Nollen's website for opening times. In fact, it will be worth your while to phone ahead to make sure a guide can show you the interiors of some of the sculptures that are locked. The project also hosts a museum, in which Ruud van de Wint's paintings and drawings will be on display -- but this museum is still under construction. Whoever gasped in admiration at Ernst Veen's TV series "Gardens of Wonder," about the best private sculpture parks across the globe, will not want to miss this gem. It deserves to become world-famous -- so take advantage of visiting before vast crowds will detract from the joy of being able to explore and contemplate at your leisure. See more..

4.5 De Braak (12 reviews)
- Hidden Wildlife Garden
Spent 1-2 hours Parks

Nice park for walking as it has a lot of big trees, clean path and not so many visitor. It's probably because the location is behind the houses along "Amsterdamseweg". Each entrance of the park is marked by a big square board with the name of the park. It's better you're not alone in this park in the afternoon as I saw some groups men smoking hash and use drugs.
