DREAM, DARE OR DO WITH YOUR FAMILY
JUMPING AND TUMBLING Forget that old trampoline in the back garden. At Bounz, trampolines have been lifted into an art form. Or even better: into a creative and social way of exercising. The Bounz Arena at the Performance Factory is made up of 32 linked trampolines and a tumble course. With options like Fit & Fun, Dodgeball, Training or Free Jumping, the possibilities are endless.

PLAY PARADISE Even the smallest children won’t keep you busy at the indoor playground Ballorig. This spacious play paradise has a separate space for toddlers, including a safe ball basin . On the same terrain you will find more action for the young and older, like glow-in-the-dark golf, Starworld paintball and lasergame and the Arqueclimbing centre.

HISTORIC RAILWAY JOURNEY On this train there is no rush and the motto is: the more, the merrier. The current travel-stress is far away from the enjoyable serenity at the trains of the Museum Buurt Spoorweg in Haaksbergen. A visit is literally a journey back in time. The historical steam trains, meticulously maintained by volunteers, go back and forth between the museum’s locations in Haaksbergen and Boekelo. The museum guarantees everyone a first-class trip. Watch for special activities.

BOULEVARD OF FUN You are looking for entertainment, but not everyone likes the same activities? Go to Go Planet Parc! A boulevard of fun where you can skate, dive, go to the cinema, bowl, play indoor soccer, drive (e-)karts, go lasertagging, set a high score in escape room Space Exit or experience virtual reality racing. You can catch a breath at one of the many restaurants.

A WATER FANATICS’ DREAM Treasure diving, waterslide race, water football: Aquadrome is more than just a swimming pool. Of course you are free to swim some laps, but the temptation of waterslides and activities is irresistible. Will you be the next ‘bommetje’ (water splash) champion? You can take a break at the Aqua Café.

CLIMBING FOREST There’s woods and forests, and there is ’t Klauterwoud’ (lt. Climbing Forest). On the estate of Hof Espelo, at the edge of the city of Enschede a play-forest has been created for hours of fun. A collection of tree trunks are waiting to be clambered and tree house builders in the making will find anything their mind can imagine. Or you can play hide and seek in the shrubbery. If you are really adventurous: try and find the tree chair and crown yourself king of the forest!

DISCOVER AND CREATE The family museum of Twente; that is De Museumfabriek (Museum factory). In the 'Wunderkammer’ you will follow the trail of explorers, experience the magic of white, learn how robots resemble animals or explore the stars in the sky. In the ‘Makerspace’ you can make your own creations by using a 3D printer, laser cutter and other machines. Check the calendar for cool workshops and lectures.
