Texel is one big playground for children! Here they can enjoy strolling on the beach or exploring the Texel forest.

Playing around

Children can be wonderfully active on Texel! At Klimpark Texel in De Cocksdorp, they can climb and clamber around. The little ones can have more fun in the Children's Play Paradise at holiday park De Krim. There are miniature golf courses in various places on the island and there is an indoor swimming pool in De Koog. In summer, the outdoor pool Molenkoog in Den Burg is open. And have you heard of the Sommeltjes? Those mysterious creatures dancing in the moonlight. Maybe you will meet them on the Sommeltjespad....

Boat trip

If you go to Texel, a boat trip is highly recommended! Take a trip on a shrimp cutter or a round-trip boat. There are various options for this in Oudeschild and near De Cocksdorp.

In bad weather

Even when the weather is not so good, there is plenty to do on Texel. How about a visit to Ecomare? Stand eye to eye with the seals that stay there or take a look at the seabirds. The Water Hall offers plenty of challenges and fun facts about the Wadden area and the North Sea. There are also other museums that are fun for children! Think about the lighthouse, Kaap Skil, Maritiem- en Juttersmuseum Flora and Texel heritage museum Waelstee.
