Day trips Netherlands

The museum is located in the midst of natural beauty. And you can enjoy it while strolling past the impressive sculptures in the sculpture garden or lounging in the grass. Inside the museum, you can admire masterpieces by great modern masters. Did you know that the Kröller-Müller Museum has the second-largest Van Gogh collection in the world? You will also find iconic works of art by Picasso and Mondrian, among others. You can discover art in a variety of fun interactive ways at the Kröller-Müller Museum. The museum offers interactive games for families, in addition to guided tours and audio tours.

The Veluwe is an ideal destination for a day out with the family. Here, your little ones can play to their heart's content. For example, in the sculpture garden. There you will find the artwork Jardin d'émail, an artificial garden which also makes a wonderful playground. But there are many other places in the sculpture garden where you can really let your hair down. Running, picnicking and taking selfies with the sculptures: it's all possible here.

There are also many fun activities for young and old to enjoy in the museum. How about a treasure hunt with challenging assignments and questions? Or the Museum Dice Game, which takes you through the museum with the roll of a dice? If you want to learn the techniques of the great masters, the Painting Game is the perfect activity for your family. On a digital canvas, you recreate the details of artworks from the museum collection under the guidance of the masters. For those looking for romance, there is the opportunity to go on a blind date with a work of art. So there is plenty to do on your day trips in the Netherlands. Check out all our family activities for your ideal day out.

Looking for a one day trip in the Netherlands during the spring break, May holidays, autumn break or Christmas holidays? The Veluwe is also a vibrant destination in the holiday periods. During the autumn holidays, you may even be lucky enough to experience the famous call of the red deer up close in the park. This is because in September, the males start looking for a female to mate with. So don't forget to bring your camera!
