With an area of no less than 40 hectares, Lelystad boasts the largest, most adventurous and educational play forest in the Netherlands. With over 140 pieces of playground equipment along and across the water, various walking and cycling routes and plenty of seating areas, picnic tables and facilities, the Belevenissenbos ensures that you can plan your day to suit you. Whether you fancy an active afternoon full of discoveries and adventure, or you prefer to sit back and enjoy the surroundings, nothing is too crazy!
More than a play forest
The vast area is especially suitable for those in the 6-16 age group. After all, this is the age when children learn to discover their surroundings and develop skills in knowing how to hold their own in their ´natural´ environment. The Experience Forest therefore offers them such a wonderful natural environment consisting of forest, water and meadow. Real nature, in other words! The educational aspect was designed by basing the design of the play areas on four themes: sport & exercise, water management, archaeology & prehistory and nature education.
