Europe's biggest playground

Linnaeushof does not have long queues or rollercoasters. Europe’s biggest playground lets children play ‘for real’. Being active and using your imagination are the main things. Your children will have the time of their lives on the climbing gear, pedal boats, trampolines and slides. The disabled and wheelchair users are equally welcome, since some of the playground equipment has been modified especially for them.

Great in sunshine and rain

From May through September the water playground is open if the weather is good, so children can play around with water. But there is plenty to do when it rains, too, since there is an indoor playground with air carts, mini cars and a playground street

For the very smallest

Linnaeushof is a great place for the smallest ones, too. There is a separate playground for toddlers and preschoolers where they won’t get run down by bigger children. Dreumesland is a safe place for little ones.
