Overall, the park is enjoyable and offers a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is nice, and it’s a good place to spend time. Pros: The zoo is fantastic! There’s a wide variety of animals, and you can even interact with some of them, which makes it great for families and animal lovers. Cons: - Games: The selection of games is limited, with only a few options, so it feels a bit lacking in activities. - Food and Drinks: Unfortunately, the food could use some improvement. It lacks flavor, and the juice tastes like it’s mostly water. - The coffee was disappointing as well.

I’ve read so mixed reviews until now. My kids are 12 and 9 years old, and they loved the place. They went in all the attractions, enjoyed to the most. We could see the panther, lions, tigers and kids we amazed. As a parent I do agree with some people about how small the animal’s enclosure are and that they don’t look that lively. There’s free food and it was not hard to find - it was on the map of the park. The free food is ok and there’s also free drinks, which was really nice on a hot day! The attractions could receive more attention. There many rusts spots, in some places I was almost concerned of the quality of the material. My kids loved and want to go back there and we might go back. Ah there enough places with shade and cover for rain if needed.

This is one of the best value parks I have ever seen. For 25 euros we could stay there all day from 10-5, eat as much as we like and also drink. The zoo parts are very well maintained and the animals look healthy and happy. There are some incredible rides for the kids (all included), and adults! Very relaxed atmosphere, I highly recommend a visit.

I am shocked by how animals can still be treated like this in 2025. Wild animals exposed to noise, close to people and causing them A LOT of stress. Their environment is ridiculously SMALL for what’s truly in their nature. I actively disencourage people to come here. Too little people are aware of what is actually going, even behind the scenes. I didn’t see food, camels were eating some grass on the stones. Not shaved correctly, in a cruel state of health. I hope that animal welfare associations can have an impact on the continuity of this park. Some animals are even inside in such a small, cold cage. On the picture here below we dont see them, they hid. But very saddening.

Get your tickets via social deals. Lovely place to visit on summer day. Would definitely go back again. I didn't like that I couldn't find lockers anywhere / it was wasp season and there weren't any wasp traps set up, the level was a bit intense. But besides that great small theme park/zoo/gardens/ water play

Not recommended: beautiful park that is overcrowded when the weather is nice and serious food safety deficiencies. Landscape park and gardens are very beautiful, nice to watch the animals. However, many animals are kept in (too) small enclosures; out of date as far as I'm concerned. A bird in a closed part of the park has a broken beak that has been duct taped together; this should of course be solved more animal-friendly. The park is not at all designed to handle the high numbers of visitors: enormous queues that Efteling does not even have. This undercapacity also undermines the all-you-can-eat concept: waiting 45 minutes for a small bowl of (over)cooked pasta is no exception. Slush puppy machines are defective, empty, or contain syrup that is too warm or ice mass that is too frozen. Most bizarre is the staff at Villa Toscane who repeatedly (!) drops sandwiches on the floor and then without batting an eyelid puts them back on the pile of food offered. Toilets are not cleaned for hours: poop is on the walls. If you ask the staff for toilet paper, they don't understand you or they can't help you. Staff at at least two attractions do not speak Dutch, English or German and do not know what to do during a disruption. Water park 'Pirate Splash' is not open in May, even when it is 26°C (this is stated on the website if you search carefully). And please note: charging your electric car here is not an option: the available charging station is “reserved for the management of Mondo Verde”.

A beautiful park, well maintained, great gardens and combinations to see and to enjoy. The concept is great, many places to sit down and eat or drink something included in your ticket.

Solid 3 stars overall, rooms are decent size with nice modern sink and wooden paneling, a desk, a couch. Sliding door between toilet and shower is a weird but I guess it works. Beds are a little lumpy and walls are thin, but it’s very convenient for a ski weekend. The restaurants are quite good downstairs, and you have instant access to the slopes!

If you book a room at a genuinely good price and your focus is 100% on the snow activities, accepting the room as a purely functional (and somewhat lacking) place to sleep and shower, then it serves its purpose. The convenience to the slopes is truly unmatched. However, if room comfort, a good night's sleep, or climate control are priorities for you, the current state of the rooms is a bit disappointing and needs improvements. Book for the snow, manage your expectations for the room, and aim for a bargain price. You will have a nice trip ;-)

The location is excellent, offering very convenient access to the ski slopes. Sitting in the bar and bistro areas to enjoy food and drinks is pleasant, as you can comfortably watch the skiers. The snacks here are tasty. We paid €17 per person for breakfast, but the variety was very poor. On multiple days, I noticed that the cucumbers were not washed properly, with soil visible on their skins—this was quite careless. However, the part that disappointed me the most was the condition of the rooms. When we arrived, the heating system in the hotel was completely non-functional due to a technical issue. Although they provided a heater after we called to report it—which was nice—the overall cleanliness of the rooms was unacceptable. Upon entering the room for the first time, there were clearly visible layers of dust on the floor. Cleaning was scheduled only once every three days, and after returning to the room on the third day, we found that we couldn’t enter because the cleaning staff had inserted the “Do Not Disturb” sign into the card slot. This required us to go back to the reception to get a new key. Once we managed to enter the room, we found the beds had been made, but the floors were still untouched. Worse, while the duvet was being arranged, additional dust from under the beds had been stirred up and scattered around the room. I called reception again to report this, and they promised to send someone to clean, but even by the next day, no one showed up. Another major issue was the extremely thin walls. We could hear everything from the neighboring rooms, including conversations.

While the location is very good next to the indoor ski area, the rooms are awful. Beds are noisy, toilet/shower combination is not practical, no proper heating in the rooms, cleaning in every 3 days, tasteless scrambled egg every morning. In short, the hotel itself is creating a very bad experience. Update: it is getting weirder everyday, the hotel room is full of dirt just after cleaning, dirtier than before. Update 2: reception and ski center are very much disconnected. The reception sells the wrong tickets (as they don't fully understand the ski center) and you are to blame for buying the wrong tickets.

We booked for 2 ppl and a kid. said the kid was for free. Came to the reception and had to pay amost 45€ extra. The girl in the reception asked ”and where is she gonna sleep?!” instead of informing us. Really bad and not recommended, this hotel really charges extra for nothing!

The flexibility of the hotel is the worst I have ever experienced in my life. I made an error in my booking and booked a night from Tuesday to Wednesday instead from Monday to Tuesday. I discovered this during check-in in Monday at 15:20 (official check-in is 15:00). I asked what are the options, i.e. if it's possible to shift my booking by one day to the front. This was denied with the reason that a room needs to be cancelled 24 hours prior they check-in day. The hotel insisted to pay the wrongly booked night for 126€ (the breakfast was taken off as a "gesture if good will") and offered me to book an additional night for 142€, since they have rooms available. This is from customer friendliness and service point of view a clear desaster. I would have even accepted a penalty of 20€ for the effort of late cancellation. Errors can happen everywhere, I admitted my error and the flexibility offered was zero. It looks more like a rip-off, since the guest in need needs to stay somewhere and this would have been a good opportunity for selling two rooms. I am sorry that I have to give my first bad review ever, but it's the truth.

I really loved this Hotel I came here for 1 day but I really liked it, it is located in a very nice place and it has very good Skypark/Indor Snowcenter where you can sky even wenn you don’t know you can lern with a trainer. I really enjoyed staying here.

Beautiful place to go for a walk or a longer hike!

Large moorland with swamp surrounded by a beautiful forest. Take good shoes; many paths are sandy. In the middle there's a nice (sandy) sitting area to overlook the moorland. Free parking at a supermarket nearby. If you feel uncomfortable walking alone in a large secluded area know that during midday there usually are quite a few people out and about here, especially in the weekend.

Thr Brunssumerheide, located in the province of Limburg in the Netherlands, is a picturesque and extensive nature reserve known for its scenic landscapes and diverse wildlife. This area is part of the larger Parkstad Limburg region and offers a serene escape for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and bird watchers. The reserve is characterized by its varying landscapes, ranging from heathlands and sand dunes to dense forests and small ponds. This variety not only provides a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna but also makes it an attractive spot for outdoor activities. Walking and cycling paths meander through the area, making it accessible for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. One of the most notable features of Brunssumerheide is its heathlands, which are particularly stunning during late summer when the heather is in full bloom, covering the landscape in a blanket of purple. This natural spectacle attracts photographers and nature lovers from all over the country. In addition to its natural beauty, the area is rich in biodiversity. It is home to various bird species, including some rare ones, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers. Mammals like rabbits, foxes, and deer can also be spotted, especially during the quieter hours of the day. For families, Brunssumerheide offers a peaceful setting for leisurely walks and picnics. The well-marked trails and information boards throughout the reserve provide insights into the local ecology and history of the area. Despite its tranquil setting, Brunssumerheide is not without its challenges. Conservation efforts are ongoing to maintain the heathland habitats and protect the native species. This includes managing the growth of trees and shrubs that can otherwise dominate the heather and managing the population of grazers like sheep and goats that help maintain the landscape. Thr Brunssumerheide is a gem in the Netherlands' natural landscape, offering a blend of scenic beauty, rich biodiversity, and opportunities for outdoor activities. Its conservation is crucial for preserving this unique ecosystem, making it a valuable resource for both environmental education and recreation.

Fantastic area, beautiful nature and hills. Full of moors, tress and walking paths. Pretty popular with strollers.

A very good hotel. Great value for the quality of services. Nice and helpful staff. Free drum washing machines and driers. Sometimes rooms and wardrobes are dusty.

A forest with some beautiful heather specially florissant in August . With luck people can meet the shepherd with his flock of sheep.

Lovely open heathland and very enjoyable despite the heavy rain showers

chaotic parking search and park ticket sales on the first day, shuttle bus situation not ideal, festival is not organized sustainably, too much plastic waste, great lineup, friendly people and service, good organization at the festival location Megaland,campsite hygiene overloaded, few washing facilities and water points

crazy party days

(Translated by Google) Theater Landgraaf is a small and cozy theater that you can find in a small church or small church in the relevant town. It can accommodate approximately 150 spectators.

It was closed when we got there, but it didn't look inviting at all. Maybe it is interesting, but it seemed as if there wasn't a great deal to see. The area around it might be nice for walks.

I would recommend to choose another castle or save your money. It's in a nice area, close to a very nice forest and very easy to reach by car. Doei

Historic place with ruins, park and brasserie. Last night movie evening in this great setting.

Awesome place to visit and have a party.

Very nice castle which is currently rebuild

great place

(Translated by Google) Very little remains of the medieval castle. In fact, only a small section of the castle itself and a building that stood outside the castle but was part of it. The remains are currently being restored. The very ambitious restoration plans of a few years ago have been revised to a somewhat simpler plan. There is a garden on the castle grounds that is definitely worth a visit. Coffee is available in the adjacent canteen. Parking is no problem at all. (Original) Er is nog maar weinig over van het middeleeuwse kasteel. Eigenlijk alleen een stukje van het kasteel zelf en een gebouw dat buiten het kasteel stond maar er wel bij hoorde. Op dit moment worden de resten gerestaureerd. De zeer ambitieuze restauratie plannen van een paar jaar geleden zijn bijgesteld naar een ietwat eenvoudiger restauratieplan. Er is op het kasteel terrein een tuin die de moeite van het bekijken zeker waard is. Koffie verkrijgbaar in de aangrenzende kantine. Parkeren vormt geen enkel probleem.
