No need to stay clean here.
Outside, adventure awaits. Don’t forget your boots, because we give a get-dirty guarantee. Build huts in the hut-building field, splash around in the mud garden, race around on the go-karts or play a game of football on the sports field. The farm is one big party!
Feed the cows with the farmer.
Feed the cows together with farmer Willem or one of his farmhands. The daily programme tells you what time.
Our animals love visitors! The calves, the cows and the bull are curious about you. The goats and the sheep can’t wait to be stroked. And don’t forget to say hello to our piggies. And what is a farm without ponies? We also have donkeys, rabbits, chickens and more.
Raining? Then we carry on playing indoors.
Our indoor playground has a big tyre slide and a spiral slide, so there is plenty to do inside. There is also an indoor sandpit, a building corner and much more.
The big climbing tree, the dolls’ corner, a play mat with little tractors, a mini tractor corner and soft blocks: for small and bigger explorers. In the barns you can play in the hay and in the straw hut. And all over the farm there are little corners where you can keep yourself busy.
A Steenuil wishing story.
When you visit, don’t miss the big Steenuil story in our large picture books along the way! It is really beautiful, written and illustrated by Hanne van de Schoot. Read it together, pick a wishing stone from the wishing chest and take it to the wise old oak.
Nature, wonder and something special together.
Fancy something special? Then walk the EigenAARDigheden trail. Ask at the bar about the little suitcase and the contribution. Or take a look at Puur Aarde(n), with activities to connect with yourself and with nature. Hanne will tell you more.
On certain days you can join a meditation, mindfulness session, workshop or ceremony to connect with nature. The Puur Aarde(n) workshops are about truly connecting with mother earth and with your child. You always go home recharged!
Every season brings something lovely.
Campfire evenings and the farm in autumn colours, Sinterklaas and Christmas on the farm, lambs in spring and long summer days outside. In What’s on you’ll find the programme for the coming days. What’s on soon?
They play. You sit down for a bit.
Coffee, a cold drink or something to eat. Order from your table with the QR menu, or come to the bar; cash is welcome too.
Coming to play?
Wellies and a set of dry clothes? Good idea.
Before your visit
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking in advance: then you’re sure of a place. If you have an annual pass or a 10-visit card, you book your visit too.
Is it right for my child’s age?
It’s most fun for children up to about 10. The little ones have their own indoor corner with soft blocks, a play mat and a mini tractor corner; bigger children head for the go-karts, the trampolines and the hay. Older brothers and sisters are of course welcome: the children’s ticket applies from 1 to 12 years, babies under 1 are free.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Bringing your own food and drinks is not allowed. Do you have an allergy or special diet? Talk to us beforehand about what is possible.
Are pets allowed?
Pets are not allowed. Only official assistance dogs are welcome, registered in advance and by arrangement.
What guests say about their day
“The animals were their favourites! They also had a wonderful time playing indoors and outdoors!”
“A place where a child can be free and play everywhere.”
“The children thought feeding with the farmer was the very best activity.”

A warm welcome to our little owl’s nest.
We think it’s important that you and your family feel welcome and safe. We keep an eye on each other together. That makes it a lovely day, where we enjoy the ordinary things that are so special nowadays.
There are beautiful spots to quietly enjoy the view, the children or the countryside. And good food and drinks complete the Brabant farm experience.
Also welcome with your school class, with a group, or to stay the night at our campsite (pages in Dutch).
Warm regards, farmer Willem, sister Hanne and grandpa Wim, family and team.
