Main activity : The biggest park of the Netherlands
De Hoge Veluwe Park

or Houtkampweg 13, Hoenderlo
more info : www.hogeveluwe.nl
A gigantic park with bicycle path everywhere. You will enjoy a wide variety of scenery, including pines dry landscape and oak forests. The park is well-know for its "white bikes program" : you can borrow a bike in the key locations of the park. If you are an early-bird, you should be able to find even bikes with child seat (front or back) and child bikes. If not, you may even get no bike at all. In that case, pay the extra fee and drive to the bezoekers' centrum where there are always bikes left. A good strap for your pick-nick bag can also be useful not to loose it on your way.
Main activity : The biggest collection of Van Gogh paintings
The Kröller-Müller museum

The personal collection of Helen Kröller-Museum show-cased in a made-to-measure museum and garden. You can leave your belongings and pick-nick bags at the cloakroom and even borrow a buggie for your little ones. The tour inside is very interesting ; the tour outside is also worth-wile.
There is a enigma-puzzle for kids available at the museum, but only in Dutch.

Weather permitting, opt for a pick-nick. Everywhere in the park is perfect for it. If the weather gets terrible, the only solution to our knowledge which offer a decent lunch in a peaceful environment. Alternative is the snack next to the playground close to the Bezoeker Centrum (not our favorite)
This trip is worth 2 visits : we have not yet visited the Hubertus House from the famous architect Berlage nor the "Underground museum" ; both are supposed to be interesting. Further post to come ;-)
