EuroParcs De Zanding

Bundle everyone in the car and head over to the city of Arnhem (25 minutes’ drive), where there are vintage trinkets and boutique finds up for grabs, as well as a whole host of other activities… grab a bite to eat along the scenic Rijnkade (25 minutes), pack a picnic for pretty Park Sonsbeek (20 minutes) or pick from the city's museums. These include the Netherlands Open Air Museum (20 minutes), which recreates life in Holland over the years, and the war-themed Arnhems Oorlogsmuseum (10 minutes). Of course, there’s Burgers' Zoo (20 minutes) too, with its rainforest, desert and underwater settings. Introducing Apeldoorn (half an hour) too… pretend like you’re royalty at Paleis Het Loo (half an hour), witness the free-roaming monkeys at Apenheul (25 minutes) or tick off the theme park thrills at Julianatoren Apeldoorn (half an hour). A slightly different landscape for hiking, biking or horse riding? Try the amazing shifting sand dunes at Kootwijkerzand (20 minutes). While you’re there, Radio Kootwijk (half an hour) is only a little further on, and a dramatic abandoned piece of architecture that was an early radio station.
