De Schatberg

FEC Sevenum (10 minutes’ walk) is a large indoor activity centre with a bowling alley, laser tag, escape rooms and a miniature golf course inspired by America’s Route 66. If you want to take the entertainment outdoors, head to Toverland (five minutes’ drive), with roller coasters and thrill rides. If you’re into beer, at the Hertog-Jan brewery (25 minutes) you can go on a tour of the facilities (including the large copper brewing kettles) and the maturation cellar – not forgetting the chance to taste the golden nectar, of course. At the Castle Gardens in Arcen (25 minutes), themed green areas spread around a 17th-century moated mansion. They include a bamboo forest, colourful dahlia and rhododendron gardens and a formal Italian-style garden with a pool. When the kids have had enough of staring at greenery, head to the Mountain Garden area, which comes with a miniature golf course.
