Everything you want all in one place
As a family of four with two teenagers, Duinrell was the perfect choice for our summer holiday, offering a fantastic mix of activities and relaxing downtime.
Our journey from Calais was straightforward. Check-in was quick and easy, and our Duingalow was clean, spacious, and very comfortable.
The park itself is a great size. We loved how compact and easy it was to navigate, with everything just a short walk away. The amusement park was a huge hit, catering perfectly to both the thrill-seekers and the scaredy cat members of our family. Our thrill-seekers rated the Mad Mill, Dragonfly and Falcon rides as being on par with those in Florida, but with the huge advantage of almost no queues. We particularly enjoyed the freedom of popping in and out of the park for quick rides before lunch or dinner.
The Tiki Pool was a little more challenging due to its booking system, which meant you had to stick to your time slot. Once inside, it was incredibly noisy and very hot, but this was welcome when waiting in line for the slides. The rides were excellent and varied, and the lazy river was a fun way to relax. Despite feeling crowded on each visit, the variety of slides made it well worth it.
The town of Wassenaar is charming, with lots of lovely restaurants and pretty streets to explore. We rented bikes from Duinrell and had our favourite day riding 8km along a spectacular sand dune bike path to the beach. It was amazing to have a car-free route just for cyclists. The beach itself was stunning, with miles of golden-white sand and lots of beach cafes.
A 25-minute bus ride took us directly from Duinrell to The Hague, which we enjoyed exploring in the evening. We also took the bus to The Hague to catch a train to Amsterdam for a day trip. The train journey was about 50 minutes, and while the €120 return ticket for our family of four was a bit of a shock (note: under 12s travel for for free), the canal boat ride was a real highlight, and we were glad we spent the money.
