Camping De Tovertuin

Water fun is part of a holiday, and De Tovertuin understands that all too well. Indoor pool Plons is covered and completely in the Woezel & Pip atmosphere. It feels like a beach day, but without the hassle of wind or cold. There are two pools: a larger splash pool that is no deeper than one metre and a toddler pool where the little ones can splash around safely.

In the splash pool, something new is always happening. Fountains, play elements and surprises provide that typical “one more time!” enthusiasm. Charlie sprays you wet with a garden hose, and Mole occasionally tips over a bucket, short sum: scream, laugh, run and back again. It's relaxed for you, too: there are seats, changing rooms, lockers, and everything feels uncluttered. Children up to 12 years old swim under supervision, and swimming straps are mandatory without a diploma. Fine idea, especially with little ones.

Here, everything is about experiencing together, without having to plan all the time. As a resident guest, you have unlimited access to Avonturenpark De Tovertuin. That makes this place soó special: you stay at a resort or campsite and have a complete theme park next door. More than 25 attractions and shows await you, especially for families with children up to 10 years.

Everywhere, Woezel, Pip and their friends show up for hugs, pictures’s and happy encounters. Every day at 3:30 p.m., the Friends Parade drives through the park: one of those moments when your child suddenly points into the distance and lights up completely. And if the weather turns? Then just go to Friendland: 3,000 m² of indoor play fun, including an impressive Speelfort, climbing zones and a ball pit. The fun always goes on.

Also nice: everything is made with families in mind. For small children, there are quiet attractions and gentle play areas. And practical convenience is there too: wagon rides are scattered throughout the park, and you can use them for free. That saves lugging én saves discussion when a stuffed animal, coat and mug suddenly have to come along.

Eating and drinking are not quick snacks here, but part of the experience. At Family Bistro Klieder, you eat àla carte, with a children's menu for the little ones. Extra fun: during dinner, the Magic Garden friends can stop by for a hug and photo. And for a fun hour together, there's the Magic Garden Bowling Alley with six lanes in Woezel & Pip style. Thanks to child gates, even your youngest fan can throw a strike.

The location is a big bonus: The Tovertuin is located in the heart of Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide, a protected Natura 2000 area. Heathlands, fairytale forests and fens alternate, perfect for a walk with a scavenger hunt feel or a bike ride with the whole family. Extra convenient: you can rent bikes at the resort, including children's bikes and seats.

Fancy a day in the city? Antwerp is a short drive away and is ideal for a terrace, a stroll along pretty streets and an outing that remains fun even for children. Closer by are Bergen op Zoom, Roosendaal and Breda, among others, for shopping, markets and ice cream in a cosy square. And for a practical (but secretly fun) shopping day, Designer Outlet Roosendaal is a well-known draw in the region.

In short, you're right here in the middle of greenery, with a theme park next to your bed and plenty of outings nearby. That's exactly the kind of holiday your child will be talking about for weeks.
