Center Parcs Het Meerdal

Just returned from our trip and I wanted to say how much of a fab time we had. We hadn’t been to center parcs in years and took the risk going abroad because it was so much cheaper than the uk and omg it was amazing. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. It’s easily walkable no matter where you are in the parc. The activities were great. Esp the safari car! We did pony riding which was lovely and the high adventure which was great fun. They weren’t strict on times either so we probably got longer than expected but can’t complain about that. The swimming pool is amazing! You could be in there for hours. We literally lost track of time. We didn’t eat much there as it was expensive and we had a car so we took the trip to the nearest town Horst to the Lidl to do the shop (tip you need a parking permit for the car park there but go in the shop opposite and you’ll see the parking permit behind the counter, it was €1:75) we did a few day trips out including toverland down the road, is expensive but it’s a full day out. Our 5&3yr old could go on lots - if you’ve got younger kids and need a pram you can hire one which we wished we’d done sooner as it’s a lot of walking at toverland. We did a few outside pools including a trip to roermand and onto family pool de bosberg up the road. We flew to Eindhoven and hired a car which took 40 mins to the park. Once out of the city the roads are so easy to navigate. Oh and if you’re going in summer bring mosquito repellent!!! All in all we can’t wait to come back or give center parcs abroad another go! *also a lot of places sometimes don’t take cash so don’t bring all your money in one form!
