Open all year round
Maastricht City Farm
Great little farm, the children can stroke the rabbits and hares, feed all the animals, pony rides. There's a playground, cute cafe and a farm shop. It's free but they ask for donations.
Pietershiem, Lanaken
Open all year round. It has a huge playground, a small farm, a country house, a castle ruin and lovely walks. It's also on the edge of Belgium's only national park. There's more than one car park so check the map before you go.
Indoor play Maastricht
Indoor play Kerkrade
There is a lot for the children to do. It does get busy on a weekend but if you go later in the afternoon it's usually quieter. Also recently a nice family restaurant opened here.
