The park was founded in 1956 and originally began as a simple tea garden with a playground.
It is built on a location historically known for its naturally occurring sand drifts (stuifzand), which are rare in this part of the Netherlands.
The all-inclusive formula was introduced to simplify the visitor experience and reduce queues at payment points.
Several of the park's attractions are specifically designed to be operated manually by children or through simple mechanical interactions.
The park borders the Drouwenerzand nature reserve, managed by Het Drentse Landschap, which is one of the last active sand drift areas in the country.
Drouwenerzand Attractiepark is a regional amusement park in Drouwen, Netherlands, designed specifically for children and families. It is known for its all-inclusive concept, where food and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the admission price. The park features a variety of attractions including rollercoasters, a haunted house, a carousel, and several water-based play areas. It is situated on the edge of the Drouwenerzand nature reserve, a landscape characterized by shifting sand dunes. The park focuses on accessibility for younger visitors, with many rides having lower height requirements than typical large-scale theme parks. On-site facilities include multiple dining kiosks serving snacks like French fries, fruit, and soft-serve ice cream. The site also operates an adjoining holiday park for multi-day stays. It remains an active attraction as of June 2026.
The elevated viewing points near the park entrance that overlook both the colorful ride landscape and the forested dunes beyond.
Bring your own refillable water bottles, though snacks and drinks are included, the park can get busy at midday.
Visit the sand dunes in the adjacent Drouwenerzand nature reserve before or after the park to experience the local landscape.
Check the ride height restrictions on the official website before arrival to ensure your children can access their preferred attractions.
Don't ignore the park's specific guidelines regarding outside food, though the all-inclusive model makes outside snacks largely unnecessary.
The park is seasonal, typically opening from late March until late October, and often closed on specific weekdays during the low season.
