Holiday Park De IJsvogel

In 1684, Stadholder William III and Princess Mary bought a small castle in the middle of the Veluwe called the Oude Loo. After they had it transformed into a royal palace, and through changes made years later by Louis Napoleon, it is now a beautiful large palace that you can come and admire. As you listen to the audio narration, you'll cycle through the old residents Willem, Mary, and Wilhelmina. Learn about the Dutch royal house and its history. Take a walk through the beautiful imposing gardens, visit the stables, and admire this 17th-century architectural masterpiece. A real highlight is the Roof, from where you have a magnificent view of the gardens. It also hosts unique events such as performances and exhibitions.

At recreational lake Zeumeren, 6 km from the Kingfisher, many activities are organized for young and old. Combine a beach day with, for example, supping or water skiing. If you are not a water rat, you can have fun playing mini-golf or short golf. The kids can climb, search for gold and dig for treasures at the adventure park SchatEiland. While enjoying a drink, watch a beautiful sunset at Beachclub Zeumeren.

Step inside the Crafts Museum after a 10-minute drive and go back in time. The museum has as many as 160 crafts in the form of stores and fully equipped workshops. Every week an old craft comes to life for you to admire. One floor up you enter the world of toys. The toy museum has a large collection of antique toys to admire. There are moving trains, old-fashioned dolls, and a whole collection of stuffed bears. Do you remember Dinky Toys? Of course, that's not missing from the collection. And it doesn't have to stop at just looking. In the playroom, there are several old Dutch games to play.
