Nestled beside the Zuiderzee Museum, Sprookjeswonderland is the Netherlands' most enchanting fairytale park — a lush woodland of 100 storybook scenes beloved by Dutch families for generations. A private guide turns it into a storytelling journey.
What to expect
Wind through shaded woodland paths past Hansel & Gretel's cottage, Sleeping Beauty's castle, and a working miniature steam railway, all set in manicured Dutch gardens. A costumed storyteller meets your group and narrates each scene in English with theatrical flair, weaving in the Dutch literary tradition behind each fairy tale. The park is genuinely beautiful for adults — beautifully landscaped with heritage rose gardens and lily ponds. Finish with Dutch poffertjes (mini pancakes) at the park's classic terrace café.

Opens at 10:00; allow 2 hours. Directly adjacent to the Zuiderzee Museum — combine both for a full-day ashore. Pre-book admission online; arrange private storytelling by contacting the park directly. A 10-minute walk from the cruise pier.
