Vakantieoord De Bronzen Emmer

Guests ought to be sure to wander along to the scenic village of Meppen (two minutes’ drive, or a 10-minute walk) shortly after arrival. It’s famed for its thatched farmhouses and tall oaks, and is an altogether far too pretty sight to miss out on. On farther flung adventures, trips to Emmen (25 minutes) come highly recommended for strolls among famed dolmens, visits to the World War II museum and traipses about Wildlands Adventure Zoo. And if that gets interests in the animal kingdom piqued, it’s 15 minutes from base to the tiny Zoo Bizar and its bats, lizards and spiders. That should prove a winner with the younger set, so keep them on side with trips to gnome-themed indoor and outdoor play park Kabouterland (25 minutes), Slagharen theme park and waterpark (also 25 minutes), and the Drouwenerzand amusement park (30 minutes). If something more educational is desirable, start with explores of Hunebedcentrum archaeological museum and Kamp Westerbork concentration camp memorial and museum (both 25 minutes away), and move on to visits to Planetron planetarium and observatory, and the Drents Museum, both within half an hour.
