Can your kids hardly sit still and do you like a bit of action yourself? According to new travel trends, active outdoor holidays are more popular than ever since the lockdown after the coronavirus outbreak. These destinations offer plenty of opportunities to be active in nature with the whole family.

Is an active holiday close to home? Get in the car with the whole family for an adventurous family holiday with our southern neighbours. The Ardennes is the ideal destination for children and parents who love a bit of adrenaline. The mountains, forests and rivers are perfect for adventurous activities. Whether you want to go rafting, rock climbing, abseiling or mountain biking... the Ardennes has it all! A visit to the caves of Han or the amusement park Plopsa Coo is also fun for young and old.

Austria is also a paradise for outdoor lovers. Choose, for example, a holiday in child-friendly Tyrol, which is bursting with climbing and adventure parks. Besides hiking and mountain biking in the mountains, the beautiful mountain lakes in Austria guarantee a wide range of water activities. And of course, in winter, you can enjoy endless skiing fun with the whole family. Want to experience culture with the kids? Then you can visit the various museums, castles and mines in Tyrol.

A holiday in Slovenia means a holiday full of activities in spectacular nature. In this green paradise, there is a lot to see and do in a small area, so you don't have to travel long distances with the children. Go hiking in the Julian Alps, raft on the Soča river or search for waterfalls. Also in the vicinity of the popular Lake Bled there are plenty of great attractions for children, such as a climbing forest and toboggan run. Chances are that the whole family will fall in love with Slovenia.

Going on a family holiday with small children? Then it can be quite a challenge to find a suitable holiday destination. Fortunately, these child-friendly destinations also have plenty to offer the little ones.

Don't feel like boarding a plane with young children? Opt for a holiday with our eastern neighbours and you'll be spared a long car journey with the little ones in the back seat. In the Sauerland, you can enjoy plenty of snow in Winterberg in winter. But also a summer holiday in "the land of a thousand mountains" guarantees fun for the whole family. The highlight for small children is a visit to Panoramapark Wildpark with a slide paradise, play castle and animal enclosures.

Denmark is also close to home and is the perfect destination for family holidays with small children. It is not for nothing that the country has been proclaimed the most child-friendly holiday destination. If you go to Denmark with your children, a visit to Legoland Billund should of course not be missed. But there is much more for young visitors to experience, such as building sandcastles on one of the many beaches or walking in the shoes of a Viking in the Ribe VikingeCenter. Denmark can rightly call itself a children's paradise.

Do you have children who love animals? Then go and stay with the farmer! Holidaying on a farm is a real treat for small children. In the Netherlands, you will find many nice addresses where you and your children can experience farm life in a relaxed way. While you sit back and enjoy the outdoor life, your offspring will have a great time cuddling and feeding the animals. They won't get bored easily in the countryside!

All-inclusive family holidays? Get on a plane to Turkey! The king of all-inclusive holidays.

Going to Spain with the kids? Good idea! Take a holiday in Ibiza, for example, in an all-inclusive resort with a kids' club. Do you doubt whether Ibiza is suitable for a family holiday? No need to! Ibiza is much more than a party island. Also for families with children, a holiday on this Spanish island is really a party. You will find many azure bays where the sea slopes very slowly. Ideal for children! Moreover, there are enough child-friendly restaurants and beach clubs on the island. So off to Ibiza!

In the autumn to the sun? Then book a ticket to Curaçao! This sun-sure island in the Caribbean is the place to be all year round. Families are welcomed with open arms on the child-friendly beaches. The kids can snorkel endlessly in the clear blue sea or romp around on the pearly white beach. Fancy an outing? Go on a safari in Christoffel National Park to discover beautiful nature. And after an active day, you can relax with the whole family at your all-inclusive resort.

Did you enjoy your family staycation so much that you want to go on holiday in your own country again next year? In the Netherlands, there is plenty to discover with the children. How about these fun destinations for family holidays?

Are your kids' real water rats? Then set your navigation to Friesland. On the Frisian lakes and the mudflats, endless water fun awaits: from sleeping and sailing to supping and sea-rafting. In addition, this province has plenty of kid-friendly museums and activities, such as the Blotefootpad at the Drents-Friese Wold, AquaZoo Friesland and Nature Museum Fryslân in Leeuwarden. In short, Friesland has a lot to offer children.

There on the coast, the Zeeland coast... children will have a great time building sandcastles and swimming. In Zeeland, the sea is always nearby. But this province has a lot more in store for children. For example, a visit to Delta Park Neeltje Jans is fun and educational at the same time. And put pirate park Arsenaal in Vlissingen and a seal safari on the schedule. Once in Zeeland, the kids will never want to go home again. And you won't either!

On a city trip with the whole family? Then head for Arnhem. With attractions such as the Dutch Open Air Museum and Burgers' Zoo, the Gelderland capital is extremely suitable for children. A trip to the Apenheul or Julianatoren is also easily arranged. Moreover, the city is an excellent starting point for a voyage of discovery through the Veluwe. Go wildlife spotting, fly a kite on the Ginkelse Heath or visit a climbing forest. There is plenty for young and old to experience in the largest nature reserve in our country.
