From the 1st of December, 2022, till the 8th of January, 2023, we will have a super cool ice-skating rink on the terrace of Humphrey’s Thorn! Slip and slide all day long before finishing off with a delicious Christmas menu!

Whether you’re a park guest or not, everyone is welcome to come skate. Enjoy 2 hours of pure ice-skating bliss for just € 10.00. A pair of skates is included in the price, as it is not permitted to use your own. Head on over to the outside bar if you need a break, a hot cup of chocolate, or some traditional Dutch “Snert”.

Santa visiting the park on a sleigh

Santa himself is coming to visit us at the park this winter! He will be riding his sleigh around on the 23rd and 24th of December. Be sure to look out for him as he rides his sleigh through the park, spreading joy wherever he goes.

The sleigh, without Santa, will return on the 28th and 30th of December, and then you can go for a magical ride yourself... if you have behaved this year, of course!
