these are the best outings

Den Bosch: city of those delicious Bossche bollen. But once you’ve tasted it, there’s a lot more to see and do. We have listed the best outings in ‘s-Hertogenbosch with children for you.

Heeswijk Castle

Is your child a true knight or little princess? Then visit one of the most beautiful castles in our country, near Den Bosch. At Castle Heeswijk you follow a treasure hunt every day, where you find out whether the castle is ready for the sleepover of Lodewijk the Fourteenth, the Sun King. Try on a real knight helmet, climb the towers and dress up as a princess.

North Brabant Museum

In this museum you will learn everything about the art, history and culture of North Brabant. Also great for children, because fun activities are regularly organized for the young visitors. Think of a scavenger hunt where they go on safari and have to find the animals hidden in the paintings. Drawings are also made and puzzles have to be solved. Extra nice: a visit to this museum is a dirt cheap outing, because children up to the age of 18 are free.

Verkade factory

Less than a 5-minute walk from Den Bosch Central Station, you will find the old Verkade biscuit factory. Nowadays, all kinds of nice theater, film, dance and cabaret performances are given and you can enjoy good food. Being so close to the station, it’s a great outing to get to by train. Look here for the range of the Kinderkunstfabriek with performances for children of 2 years and older.

Sportiom . Sports Center

Whether you visit Den Bosch in the summer or in the winter, it is always fun in Sportiom. Here you will find a subtropical swimming paradise with a wave pool, fast slides and an adventurous wild water river. But if you prefer to skate, then you tie your irons at IceFun and slide uphill and down again via caves and a skating slope. Sometimes it even really snows!

chocolate loca

If you are in Den Bosch, you should of course taste a Bossche bol. At Choca Loca you can follow a workshop to learn everything about this delicacy. And of course you can also make one yourself and take it home (if it’s not already gone…)

Play paradise Ballorig

If you don’t feel like trudging through the city, then you can just go to Ballorig with the whole family. This indoor playground is no less than two thousand square meters and you can also play laser tag. There is a separate play area for children up to four years old. Wherever they indulge themselves: they are of no use here.

pancake boat

See the city from the water and book a trip on the pancake boat. During this pleasant cruise you can eat unlimited pancakes and you will hear all about the city. Children are also allowed to sail a bit with the captain.

Bossche Sugar Daddy

Okay, it’s not healthy, but tasty! At this nice shop in the Tweede Korenstraatje in Den Bosch you imagine yourself in a sweet paradise. For years they have been selling delicious licorice, candy canes Oeteldonk frogs.
