Tickets for trips
Fancy a day out? As a EuroParcs guest, it is possible to order tickets for various museums, amusement parks or zoos at a discount.
National Park De Hoge Veluwe
Welcome to Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe, the largest national park in the Netherlands! The purple moors, vast forests and sand drifts invite you to explore on foot or on the (free) white bicycles available in the park. Take a look at the Jachthuis Sint Hubertus and enjoy the works of art in the Kröller-Müller Museum with the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world. Keep your eyes open, you might just spot a wild boar, red deer or mouflon.
Huis Zypendaal
In popular speech it is called a castle, but actually Huis Zypendaal is a country house that was built in 1762-1764 for the Brantsen family. The family lived there until 1926 and the interior still largely dates from that time. The park and garden were laid out in the French style and the English landscape style. Both the house and the surrounding gardens can be visited.
Loenen Waterfall
Be amazed by rolling fields and a real waterfall in nature reserve the Loenense Enk. With a drop of 15 meters the Loenense Waterfall is the largest waterfall in the Netherlands. This so-called stepped waterfall can be combined with nice walks in the area such as the varied walking route Vrijenberg.

National Park the Hoge Veluwe
National Park the Hoge Veluwe
The vast heathlands and forests of the Hoge Veluwe National Park are literally around the corner from your cottage at EuroParcs De Zanding. So get on your (white) bike or put on your walking shoes to explore this special nature reserve. After all, National Park de Hoge Veluwe is not only the largest national park in the Netherlands, in the middle of the park you will also find the Kröller-Müller Museum with the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world! Immense sand drifts await you in the Kootwijkerzand which is called "the Sahara of the Low Countries. Just like Radio Kootwijk; a striking building that graces the horizon and served as a transmitter mast a century ago.
Cozy towns and family outings
Cozy towns and family outings
There is also plenty to do for children in the area. EuroParcs De Zanding is located near Apeldoorn where you can imagine yourself a prince or princess at Paleis het Loo, watch monkeys at Apenheul or have an adventurous day at Children's Amusement Park Julianatoren. For vintage stores and boutiques, a visit to the beautiful city of Arnhem is highly recommended. Grab a bite to eat on the Rijnkade, have a picnic in Park Sonsbeek or walk into one of the city's museums such as the Open Air Museum and the Arnhem War Museum. Weather or no weather; in Burgers' Zoo in Arnhem you walk alternately through a tropical rainforest, in a sweltering desert or through a colorful underwater world.
