Morning
The adventure starts with a trip back a hundred years. It happens at the Boerenbondsmuseum in Gemert. Visit the craftspeople and lend a hand yourself.

Then check in at In de Hei in Mariahout. That means two lovely nights in a cosy cabin or glamping tent. Who will be the first to spot an alpaca?
Evening
For a relaxed dinner nearby, KOKS in Gemert is a great choice.
Dag 2

No need to rush, there is plenty to do on site. You might even go on an alpaca walk this morning.

In Helmond you will find kidsproof museums and the indoor playgrounds FunZone or We Jump.

Frequently asked questions
This is a ready-made plan for 3 days in the Land van de Peel with kids. Each day is split into a morning and an afternoon. You get to know museums, animals and nature. You do not have to arrange anything yourself. Follow the route day by day, or pick the parts that suit your family.
Of course. If you only have a weekend, pick the highlights of day 1 and day 3. Think of the Boerenbondsmuseum and Museum Klok & Peel. Looking for loose tips with kids instead of a fixed program? Browse our things to do with kids for more inspiration.
Yes, there is always an alternative close by. Is it raining on day 2? Swap the barefoot path for a kidsproof museum or an indoor playground in Helmond. On day 3 you can also head indoors at Museum Klok & Peel. That way a rain shower will not spoil your family trip.
No, that is exactly the idea. The Land van de Peel is close by, yet it feels like a real holiday. Farms, nature and museums are all within half an hour of each other. So you do not need to travel far for a complete family trip.
Along the way you will meet all kinds of animals. Walk with the alpacas and spot cows and calves at the farm. Look for the hidden piglets along the Biggetjesroute. You even sleep close to the alpacas of In de Hei. For animal lovers, this program is full of nice surprises.
