Oud Valkeveen

Friendly, safe and affordable amusement park for kids up to about 12yrs of age. Well maintained and pretty, in quite a pleasant nature reserve cum leafy residential area. There's a beach where you can swim or lounge a bit. The usual Dutch savory and sweet snacks are on sale at multiple vending points. Easy parking. Lines are usually absent or (on sunny weekend days) maybe 5-10 minutes so no problem.
Not a place to come to when it's really rainy. And if you're close to 2m tall (or more), watch out in the bumper cars and while walking around.

The park’s ambiance is enchanting! Lush greenery, beautiful lake in the middle surrounded by variety of rides. We enjoyed dragon track, swing, stork danger. Perfect place to spend a day with your kids. Travelling by private car is recommended as the nearest bus stop is 2.2 km away. You can book the tickets online from their website.

Amazing place for kids of all ages!

Nice and friendly atmosphere. Unfortunately a bit difficult to get there using public transport. The way there is beautiful but a bit unsafe because in some areas there are no pathways, so is risky with a kid. Other than that once you get there is great! I wish they would have some kind of shuttle service?

Have the greatest time possible with your little ones.

If you manage to get there in a on overcrowded day and with good weather... You'll have the greatest time for your money.

Kids 4-10 will have a fantastic time here... And their parents too!

The food is just ok, normal for a place like this.ñ and at a good price. My only complaint is the highest at the Barbecue Bar: Non existent. The waiters poking the meat with their dirty hands which they use for just anything else (like picking up money from customers) and they don't even seem to have a place to wash the hands.

Anyway... Great place.

Very nice place! The attractions are for younger kids, the place is clean, the atmosphere is all about the fun! We really enjoyed our time here!

Great place to enjoy with kids all ages. There is a playground for kids between 0-4. You can bring your own food for a picnic. Also the are restaurant and snack bar.

Really nice and appropriate for the times. Open space and room to avoid drukte. The kids have lots of fun and it's mostly active games.

Even on a rainy day nice playground inside, play area, cinema and we got the chance to see a theater play, kids enjoyed a lot.

B-day party for my Godchild's little boy. He enjoyed it. Half a day was too short. So, we need to come back a few times. Years ago we came here already with my nieces and nephews. It still is a wonderful place for children till 12 years old. :-D

Really nice children amusement park.
This is the type of park where very young kids can also enjoy many of the rides and slightly older children (7+ or so) can already walk around to enjoy the rides without direct supervision. Great young family entertainment.

Excellent fun for the family with plenty to keep kids between 3-7 very busy. Nice cosy beach and plenty of space to picnic. Well worth it

Great place for families with small kids!

6 stars, one of the best attractions we have done. We spent the whole day there, with 3 kids 5 - 6.5 years old, from 10 am till the park was closed at 5 pm. We were a little concerned by the fee negative reviews, yet were happy to find out that the place is great.

We were there on a Sat, end of August, and while there were many people in the park, it didn't feel too crowded. A few attractions had a waiting time of ~30 minutes during peak times, yet many others had no waiting time at all. For the first ~1.5 hours there was no waiting time at all.

A few of the attractions that were closed in the morning, were opened in the afternoon.

There was a decent number of attractions that required jumping and climbing so it ended up being quite an active day (vs. just sitting in a ride; no worries, no shortage of such attractions as well :) ).

Parking is free and near the entrance. The drive to the park goes through a beautiful area as well.

Area for improvement: the website allows payments only via a local payment card. Tourists must purchase tickets at the entrance (there is also a machine there), which is both more time consuming and more expensive (€2 more / ticket).

Great place for the whole family. The queues were not too long despite the perfect weather. There is also a beach with access to the Markermeer.

Amazing place. Most apt for families with kids( up to 8 years). We could spend the whole day. The place has a lake where kids can walk and play in the water. The lake is shallow and has boundary markings.
The park is big in area and has a playing area for kids of every age.
My kid liked paddle boating, dragon ride and of course the lake🙂

My suggestion is to bring your own food. The lunch menu at the location is minimal but has several snacks options.

The place has ample parking spots and 4 electric charge points.

Very good and cosy, splendid lake views! Will come back to it again for sure

Ideal place for kids and families. Lots of games for all ages and almost everything is included in the entrance ticket

A pleasing playground indoor and outdoor. Really fun for the kids. They have mini beach as well.

Amazing for kids of 4 yo. She had loads of fun everywhere… beach, sand toys, water.
With very little healthy food, they slow you to picnic. Al very cleaned and people very friendly. Def going back!

Great place for younger kids.

Proper little gem with a "beach" on the Gooimeer for those wanting to swim. Plenty of activities and rides to keep the kids busy for the whole day and not too expensive. Several charging spots for EV's too which always helps.
