EuroParcs Noordwijkse Duinen

If your Instagram account is in need of an influencer-style picture of you surrounded by colourful tulips, head to Keukenhof HOLLAND (15 minutes’ drive), where you can lose yourself among vast fields of vibrant bulbs. Tulip season runs late March to late May – so not quite a case of ‘blink and you’ll miss it’, but close enough, so plan accordingly. From a thrilling roller coaster to bumper cars, Duinrell theme park (20 minutes) has rides for all ages (and all levels of courage). And that’s without even taking into account the Tiki Pool, a watery landscape with 21 twisting slides, including the Cyclone, where daring bathers can reach speeds of 60km/h. For year-round attractions, Haarlem (half an hour) delivers in a big way. The city has several interesting sights, starting with the collection of Old Masters at the Frans Hals Museum, the science displays at the Teylers Museum and the 18th-century Molen De Adriaan windmill on the river Spaarne.
