If you live near Heerlen and want to go out for the day with the kids, without travelling too far or paying too much, then Kinderstad Heerlen is the answer.
Attractions
Kinderstad Heerlen is in fact an indoor amusement park and playground, located in a warehouse so large you could easily park a jumbo jet in it. Not really the place you'd expect a roller coaster and a water ride.
Furthermore, you'll find pedal boats, trampolines, a bouncy castle, a family slide, a climbing volcano (with a slide), two bumper cars, an equal number of carousels, and finally a two-storey adventure castle!
So there's plenty to do to fill an afternoon or even a whole day! There's ample seating throughout the ‘city’ and free Wi-Fi too.
Food and drink
In the cafeteria, you pay with tokens, which can be bought from a machine for €1.25 each. All refreshments – fries, snacks, drinks, and ice cream – cost just one token. Nice and easy, and cheaper than the chip shop. Unlike many other theme parks, Kinderstad Heerlen also allows you to bring your own food and drink.
Opening hours and admission
Kinderstad Heerlen is open 365 days a year from 10.00-18.00. Entry costs 9 euros per person – adults also pay the full admission price. Children up to 2 years old have free entry. Kinderstad Heerlen also offers options for children's parties and school trips.
Tip: keep an eye on discount sites like Groupon and Social Deal for discounts on admission and other great deals!
Location and parking
Kinderstad Heerlen is located close to the N281 exit and is therefore easily accessible by car. Parking is available in Kinderstad Heerlen's own car park for just one euro.
Are you coming by train? Then it's one kilometre, or about 12 minutes' walk, from the central station.
Finally
Certainly, with a discount voucher, Kinderstad Heerlen guarantees a fun and inexpensive day out for the whole family! This indoor amusement park is a real lifesaver, especially in cold or wet weather. It's also a perfect alternative for when other plans fall through!
Tip: a five-minute drive from Kinderstad Heerlen, just around the corner from Adrem Car Rental Heerlen, there's a McDonald's. A nice way to round off a fun day out!
