Parks & Nature
Great for long walks, or go here with kids to play soccer in the field or just to relax in the grass in summer. You might want to go feed the goats in the family oriented " Geitenboerderij" (Goat farm) http://www.geitenboerderij.nl/en/.
Here you can taste delicious ice cream made of goat milk. Or go eat traditional pancakes in the Boerderij Meerzicht.
