Deep dive: choosing between Julianatoren, Apenheul & Klimbos

Julianatoren: gentle thrills and classic family fun

• Expect approachable rides and cheerful theming designed with children in mind.
• Great when you want a predictable, play-filled day where younger kids set the pace.
• Ideal for a relaxed schedule: arrive after a slow breakfast, take midday breaks, and head back to the campsite for dinner.

Pair it with: an easy evening on our car-free field where you can keep an eye on children as they play. Explore the on-site Jeu de Boules court or let the kids enjoy the playground features like the sandpit and eight-person swing.

Apenheul: animal encounters and discovery

• A primate-focused park known for immersive paths and naturalistic environments.
• Perfect for kids who ask “why?” every five minutes—plenty to observe and talk about together.
• You’ll walk, pause, and explore at your own rhythm, making it a satisfying mid-energy day.

Pair it with: a cozy, well-equipped base back at De Reebok. Our modern sanitary building has separate ladies’ and gents’ areas, multiple toilets and showers, family-friendly features like baby facilities, and even underfloor heating for comfort after an active day. See all details in Faciliteiten.

Klimbos (Garderen): elevate your day—literally

• Think tree-top routes, rope bridges, and controlled ziplines that challenge balance and confidence.
• Suits families with adventurous kids, teens, and adults who like a physical challenge.
• A great choice when you want everyone to burn energy and come back glowing with achievement.

Pair it with: a smooth reset at your pitch—every pitch at De Reebok has 10-amp electricity, its own water tap and drain, good Wi‑Fi by your caravan, and an artificial grass area under the awning for clean, comfy setup. Learn more in Camping.

When to pick which?

• Choose Julianatoren if: you have toddlers or early primary-schoolers and want a carefree, ride-filled day without pushing stamina.
• Choose Apenheul if: your family loves animals, enjoys slow exploration, and wants a nature-rich experience with plenty to talk about.
• Choose Klimbos if: you’re an active crew seeking a hands-on challenge that rewards teamwork and confidence.

Pro tip: Planning a longer stay? Rotate through all three—each delivers a different flavour of Veluwe adventure. For quieter days, consider nearby museums or the Veluws Zandsculpturen Festijn, also popular in the area.
