Spring break with kids in Ommen: 7 fun tips indoors and outdoors!

Carrousel Swimming Pool is always a great idea for a refreshing dip, and during spring break there are also extra fun activities on the schedule, such as Toddler Morning Bingo on 23 February, disco bingo on 25 February, or the music afternoon on 27 February.

Spring break, but still want to keep it nice and wintry for a bit? You can at De Kleine Wolf! The ice rink is transformed during this holiday into the setting for your very own Winter Games. Children can complete challenges, tick them off on a bingo card, and collect their own gold medal as a reward. How fun is that? Tickets start at €7.50. Tip: reserve in advance, because full = full.

Is the weather cold and gloomy? Then a museum is a top plan. In Ommen you can, for example, visit the National Pewter Figurines Museum or dive into history at the Historical Museum. Extra fun: you can easily combine it with lunch in the heart of Ommen in between. For current opening times and prices, check the museums’ websites: Historisch Museum & Tinnenfigurenmuseum

At Pluck you can sit down and paint ceramics. Ideal for a holiday morning or afternoon when you want something different from running around, rushing about and bouncing off the walls. You can choose between two time slots: start at 10:00 a.m. or start at 1:30 p.m. The workshop lasts 2.5 hours and the starting price is €19.50. Pluck provides instructions, materials, glazing and firing—and of course a tasty drink. Isn’t that the perfect outing?

Holiday time is the time to take over the bowling alley. Round up your family, friends or neighbors and go for those strikes! Extra fun: at Ommerland you can also do disco bowling. That’s available until 23 March on Wednesday evenings—so also during spring break. What a party!

Do you have little detectives at home—or are you secretly one yourself? Then this is highly recommended. At Rederij Peters you can choose an exciting Escape Room or a fun City Game through Ommen. And yes… you can of course just do both. After all, it’s holiday.

The Giga Rabbit Hole is already a party on its own, but during the holiday there are also extra fun theatre shows. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, Bultje is ready with a show full of adventure and fun. Tickets during holidays and weekends are €7.50 (admission free for adults and children aged 13 and up).
