About Children’s farm Het Nijmanshofje

Welcome to a delightful haven where children can connect with nature and experience the joy of interacting with animals. Our cozy petting zoo is designed to provide a memorable experience for families and children of all ages. Here, kids can engage directly with a variety of friendly animals, from fluffy rabbits to gentle ponies, all in a safe and supervised environment. One of the highlights of our zoo is the cuddle corner, where children can snuggle with our furry friends, fostering a sense of compassion and nurturing. This hands-on experience is not only fun but also educational, as it teaches children about animal care and responsibility in a playful manner.

In addition to cuddling with animals, visitors can participate in engaging activities such as feeding ducks, where kids learn about the dietary needs of different animals while enjoying the simple pleasure of watching them happily waddle and quack. Our dedicated staff is always on hand to guide the children, ensuring they understand how to interact with the animals safely and respectfully. Furthermore, children can take part in brushing the ponies, which helps them develop a bond with these gentle creatures while learning about grooming and the importance of animal hygiene. For those who are eager to lend a hand, there are also opportunities to help with cleaning the rabbit hutches, giving kids a sense of responsibility and accomplishment as they contribute to the well-being of their animal friends.

Beyond the animal interactions, our petting zoo features a vibrant playground area, offering children the chance to unleash their energy and creativity. With slides, swings, and climbing structures, the playground provides the perfect balance to their educational experiences, allowing kids to run, jump, and play freely. This combination of learning and play creates a holistic environment where children can thrive, develop social skills, and make lasting memories with family and friends. We believe that outdoor activities and direct interactions with animals are essential for a child's development, fostering a love for nature and promoting physical activity in a fun and engaging way.

As a family-friendly destination, we are committed to providing an enriching experience for every visitor. Our mission is to create a welcoming atmosphere where children can explore, learn, and grow while cultivating a deep appreciation for the animal kingdom.
