Discover the Dutch national parks with your children
There is plenty of nature to explore in the Netherlands and the many national parks are well worth a visit. In the woodlands, moors, sand drifts and at the lakes, you can discover various plants and many animal inhabitants with your children.
Visit De Hoge Veluwe National Park and go on an autumnal hiking or cycling tour. With a bit of luck, you might even spot the region's Big Five: Highland cattle, red deer, wild boar, roe deer and foxes.
Or explore the Dwingelderveld National Park together, which is grazed by two large flocks of sheep. You can also observe numerous bird species here: from small woodpeckers to large buzzards. The park is also home to snakes such as adders and smooth snakes, although they are rarely seen.
Autumn transforms nature into a colorful spectacle, giving hiking and cycling tours through the countryside a very special atmosphere and making children's eyes light up. As all EuroParcs vacation parks are located in the countryside, you will find the perfect accommodation for your family vacation in nature.
Book your holiday home in the nature
Wake up in a cozy holiday home, get fresh bread rolls from the park store and enjoy a delicious breakfast with your family while you look out into the colorful nature and plan your day. Book your accommodation near National Park De Hoge Veluwe (province of Gelderland) or National Park Dwingelderveld (province of Drenthe) now and enjoy a relaxing fall vacation with your family at EuroParcs.
Go on a city trip to the Netherlands
If you'd rather explore a few cities during your autumn vacation, we recommend Utrecht, Alkmaar and, of course, Amsterdam.
In Amsterdam, you can take an exciting canal cruise and enjoy delicious pancakes in a typical pannenkoekenhuis. Afterwards, your children can do their own experiments at the NEMO Science Museum or you can watch world-famous stars in life-size at Madame Tussauds Amsterdam together.
In Alkmaar, everything revolves around cheese. Here you can sample a wide variety of cheeses and even watch traditional cheese carriers put on a show at the cheese market.
Utrecht, on the other hand, offers families exciting excursion destinations such as the Nijntje Museum, Ouwehands Zoo with its pandas, elephants and monkeys or De Haar Castle, which can be visited on a guided tour.
Visit a theme park in the fall
Theme parks are not just a highlight in summer - quite the opposite! Due to the lower temperatures, it is usually emptier in the fall, which means you don't have to stand in the queue for as long before you can ride a roller coaster.
In October, Walibi Holland transforms into a horror paradise: Fright Nights! The amusement park is completely transformed into a Halloween paradise. Come and experience an autumn holiday to remember. Around the corner from Walibi Holland, you will find EuroParcs Zuiderzee, where you can comfortably relax again after an evening of excitement.
Visit the Efteling theme park with your children during a vacation at EuroParcs Kaatsheuvel and experience a day full of fun and adventure. Be enchanted by the shows, take photos with the fairytale Efteling residents or dare to ride one of the exciting roller coasters.
Or discover the six enchanting worlds of Toverland theme park together, which is located near EuroParcs Maasduinen. Here you will find fast-paced roller coasters of all kinds, adventurous water fun and numerous attractions for younger guests.
Combine your autumn vacation with a trip to one of these theme parks and experience a family adventure together.

Fly a kite together
Flying a kite is simply part of the fall season. Depending on the weather conditions, you can theoretically fly your kite anywhere, but if you want to make sure you have enough wind, you can spend your fall vacation near the sea.
Here you can have fun with the kite all day long, dig in the sand with your kids or play catch together. Afterwards, find a cozy spot in the beach bar and enjoy a hot chocolate or a steaming cup of tea - the perfect way to end an autumn day.
Discover EuroParcs Noordwijkse Duinen, which is located on the South Holland coast in the middle of the dunes. It is only three kilometers from the vacation park to the beach and other excursion destinations such as the city of Haarlem are also not far away.
Or book a holiday home at EuroParcs Texel the Wadden Sea island of Texel, where you can also visit the seals at the Ecomare sanctuary after flying a kite.
Make use of the holiday park's facilities
Our child-friendly vacation parks are equipped with numerous facilities, which is particularly practical when it´s raining and you need a quick alternative to the originally planned activity.
EuroParcs Zuiderzee is particularly suitable for families with children. Here they can let off steam in the indoor pool or on the indoor playground, in the evening you can have a small family competition on the bowling alley and on the way back to your accommodation you can walk past the alpaca meadow and say hello to the animals.
But you can also have lots of fun in your holiday home itself in the fall: collect some colorful leaves and chestnuts in the vacation park or along the way and have a creative romp with them. Show your children how to make chestnut figures or let them paint the collected leaves.
