If you’re looking for a fun and easy getaway with kids (especially under 10), Dierenbos is honestly a great option. We stayed there for three days as a family, and it was just relaxed and enjoyable from the start. The staff at reception were super friendly and helpful. Most of them are quite young, but they already know what they’re doing and make you feel really welcome. As soon as you walk into the reception area, you’ll see a little restaurant, an indoor playground, and a swimming pool. The playground was a hit with our kids. The pool isn’t huge, but it’s perfect for little ones. It has a bubble bath, one big slide, and a smaller one, which kept our kids busy and happy. We stayed in one of the cottages, which was clean, comfortable, and had good heating and air conditioning. It was big enough for all six of us, and they didn’t charge us anything for our two-year-old, which was a nice surprise. They even added a baby bed for free, no hassle. You can also park your car close to your cottage, which is really helpful when you’ve got little kids and a bunch of stuff to carry. There are animals around the park, not a ton, but just enough to keep the kids excited. One of the best parts was the animal care activity. Our kids got to feed and pet donkeys and rabbits. They absolutely loved it. It’s the kind of thing they always hope to do at a petting zoo, but never actually get the chance. So this was a big deal for them. There are other activities too, like pony rides and fishing. If you’re staying for more than a day, it’s worth joining in. Also, as a guest at Dierenbos, you get free entry to Eindhoven Zoo, Beekse Bergen Safari Park, and Speelland. That’s a huge bonus. We visited all of them and they were amazing. I’ve left reviews for those separately too. If you prefer being near the water, there are cottages by the lake. And if you’re into camping, you can do that here as well. We went with the cottage, which suited us perfectly, but it’s nice that there are options. All in all, it was a really good experience. The place is very relaxed and ideal for families with younger kids. If you’re thinking of taking a short break somewhere that’s not too far, not too expensive, and still packed with fun stuff for kids, I’d definitely say check it out. Big thanks to Dierenbos for making it such a...

She even don't wanted to check the code or to read the email .||Her atitude don't changed even when we told to her that there was to late to make a other reservation some where else ...
