A mini-break for the whole family

Oisterwijk in view? Then you can get into the holiday mood right away! You can check in without any hassle into a comfortable lodge at Landal Klein Oisterwijk holiday park and enjoy the rest of the afternoon in the park. If the weather is nice, you won’t be able to keep the kids away from the swimming lake where they can take a dip in the natural water. Or maybe you would like to try a round of mini golf?

You don’t need to leave the park or even your lodge for an evening meal, but the attractive centre of Oisterwijk is just around the corner. You can rent bicycles on site for a lovely ride through the woods. In less than 10 minutes you will already be on one of the lively terraces at De Lind.

If you’re not tired out by the walk, the OERRR nature playground is next to the Groot Speijck terrace. Pump up water into the stream, climb across a rope bridge and try to keep your balance on the tree trunks

After an active day in the fresh air it will be good to get back to your holiday home. If you don’t have the energy to cook, how about a gourmet meal at De Drie Vennen Restaurant in the park, with its large patio, beach bar and (water) playground.

Tilburg is a leading city of creativity and experimentation, and you can experience that to the full in its museums. Time for a bit of ‘eeny meeny, miny, moe’, where the children can assume the role of archaeologist in the Brabant Natural History Museum or discover the world of music in the Kessels Museum. Another way to have fun together is to immerse yourselves in the history of Tilburg in an interactive way in the TextielMuseum. You can discover here how the machines in the old factory worked, and children from the age of 5 can take part in the TextielLab workshops.

The former workshops of Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch Railways) are located on the outskirts of the city centre. The general public were not allowed here for many years, which gave it the nickname ‘Forbidden City.’ Nowadays you can admire everything in the old warehouses and railway sheds.

If you want something to eat first, you can do so in style at the Eetbar De Eetwagon café where you can take your seat in  a railway carriage. After that you can walk past colourful murals and take a look inside the LocHal, where you will now find the most unusual library in the Netherlands in a place where trains used to be parked.

You can walk from the Spoorzone (Railway Zone) to the Spoorpark; a playground for all ages. Take a look at the water playground and the urban sports park. A great way to round this off is the 37-metre high Kempentoren tower. For 2 euros you can take the stairs to the top and enjoy panoramic views of Tilburg and its surroundings. Maybe you can see Oisterwijk in the woods on the horizon. Have a good look round and take home your memories of a weekend full of experiences.
