Experience of the stay
Planned to fully enjoy Huis Ten Bosch on the day of our stay, arriving around 10 AM when the park opened.
Even though check-in was at 3 PM, we were able to park in the hotel's parking area (paid) beforehand. The parking was close to the hotel, just a few minutes' walk, making it comfortable. We could also drop off our luggage early in the morning, and the staff kindly checked if the room size was suitable for us, which was nice.
There was a private entry to the park from the hotel that allowed us to enter the park within a few minutes. Re-entry was also possible, so we returned to check in at 3 PM to rest and then went back to the park at 5 PM.
The large bath area opens at 4 PM, so post-check-in breaks were fulfilling. We could have the two kids sleep with us, and the minimum space was not a concern.
The shower in the room had either a mist type or a somewhat straight water flow, which was disappointing. The shower in the large bath area also had a straight flow, and it would have been better if it had a softer, more dispersive spray.
It was a hot day, and we got sweaty in the park. I checked if I could do laundry at the hotel since we went into the park twice; however, they could only hold it in the evening and return it at checkout, which didn’t work out for us.
I opted for the breakfast buffet based on other reviews, but personally, I found the choices limited and didn’t feel satisfied for the price, although there were plenty of sweets, like soft serve ice cream, which the kids enjoyed.
While some buildings showed their age, it was the perfect place to enjoy Huis Ten Bosch, creating lovely memories.
Experiences during the trip
Enjoyed a full day at Huis Ten Bosch.
【Positives】
Traveling by bus and boat cruiser was enjoyable as we could appreciate the scenery, take restful breaks to recharge our energy, and just relax. I highly recommend taking these modes of transport. The view from the tower was fantastic, and I suggest climbing it.
Having the Huis Ten Bosch app was useful as it displayed our location on the map, allowing us to quickly understand where we were and how to get to different places.
【Points for Improvement】
We walked quite a lot (20,000 steps), so athletic shoes would have been advisable. Next time, I’d like to rent a four-person bicycle for more fun. Visiting during flower season is recommended; June was quite barren with no flowers.
It was too hot; towels and a mini fan were essential. A parasol would have been greatly appreciated as well. I missed seeing the Huis Ten Bosch Opera Company, so I hope to catch it next time.
【Others】
Rode the three-story carousel and sat on the top floor. It was much slower than expected, so it wasn’t scary at all. The plane in the Miffy area had a short ride time, but the buttons controlled the altitude, and it surprisingly went quite high, which was scary.
