Veenpark

had great family day. Park is awesome. Delicious lunch. Very well cared for. At the end a drink with a delicious snack. It was a top day

Very promising, but unfortunately still closed. Opens April 6, although the website said the park was open.

Beautiful open-air museum. Gives a good picture of life in the peat colonies in Drenthe. We have easily spent a day here and will definitely come back again.

Nice park, the life of the past, beautifully presented.

Fun and educational, needs some maintenance here and there.

Back in time. Nice park where you really get you back in the old days.

Great fun with a 2 and 6 year old. At the pancake restaurant they seemed to be able to bake only 2 at the same time, but at least not a warmed meal like in Amersfoort Zoo. Furthermore, good insight into the history of the area on the basis of a storyline

It is a nice place if he wants a day out with the family and children you can easily go there for a day, it's great fun.

Beautiful peat park with old sod huts, but also houses, shops from later periods. Excursion with peat train possible. The harmonium museum with its large collection of organs is special

Great park. Nice for a day trip. People were neat. Guests a little less. Many cheeky and / or grumpy people. Or people screaming loudly at their children. Furthermore, very nice.

Large set up park I thought it was a bit outdated and the food was quite expensive. I loved the harmonium museum

Nice set up. There is still some maintenance to be done.

Had a nice day. Peat area fun with the train. Wonderfully walked and viewed everything. Harmonium museum not visited.

Nice park but may do something about maintenance of the houses.

Interesting museum unfortunately a bit expensive and signage / description only in dutch

It is a beautiful park with a lot of potential, but you see that there is not enough money for maintenance. Too bad, with a little more maintenance really recommended !!

I thought it was a very nice park, just a pity that the candy store only opened at 11.00

Nice to have once seen how people used to live and work

There is a lot to see and see, see their website for info. The houses were very dusty inside and could use some maintenance.

I personally think the entrance price is on the high side for what to do.

Nice park, plenty to see. It was very quiet on the last day of the season, so we could look around everywhere.

Price is disappointing for what you get for it. 16 pp is too much. Fortunately through groupon we got it for half the price.

We liked it. The entrance fee we find ok, as two train rides and a boat trip are included. The one train ride was 3/4 hour through the moor and was very interesting. The people who think it's not well-groomed are probably the ones who work their lawn every Saturday with nail scissors . There is a star deduction because nothing is translated into German and the really exaggerated high drinks and food.

It was ok if you cared about it. Traveling by train is very fun and the small performances in the village are also very nice. Unfortunately, we didn't understand a word of the moor digging but it all explained itself.

The park is in appalling condition, which has nothing to do with the current situation regarding the corona virus. It is clear that people have been trying to survive here for years and do not bother to invest the money they earn. They don't bother to keep the park 'fresh' anyway, because there is ordinary rubbish such as waste material and wooden pallets or pieces of steel in various places. The terrace at the pancake house has disappeared into a sinkhole. There is also a footpath where half of the pavement is no longer present and your ankles are no longer sure. The old houses are slowly sinking, blurring or rotting, these are a few examples. With a good investor and a management willing to go for it, this park can flourish again, now that it is quickly bleeding to death.

Nice park with a look back how it used to be in the time of the peat excavation

Lots to see and learn about different eras and a mini excursion about the origin of the peat: D

Very interesting, just a pity that it was so busy. Hospitality does NOT deserve enough .. staff members do their utmost, but there is no structure at all.

Nicely designed park with nice interesting shops and crafts. Not very big, but fun to experience for young and old.

We had a great day during the compass days (30-07-2020). There were fun activities for the children. Including stacking peat, extinguishing peat fire, lessons from a teacher in traditional costume in the old school. Tour by train and by boat and much more. The volunteers involve the children and tell their story enthusiastically and fun. Really recommended.

Nice memory of childhood only the entrance is much too expensive for families

Much to see and experience thanks to the volunteers.

Gives a good picture about peat with nice attractions

I used to be very happy with this park as a child, but with my children it was very disappointing the last time. The park is in a dilapidated condition (paint peeling, dilapidated foundations) and most of the staff are uninterested to downright unfriendly (the driver of the peat train and the clog maker were a fine exception to this and made up for a lot with their behavior, but unfortunately not everything right) . In short, a park with a very good basis (with an important piece of Dutch history) that is very poorly executed. Hope the park management turns this around for the better in time ....

Very nice park, also very educational and fun for the kids !!

Very nice open air museum where you can enjoy yourself all day long. With the peat train to the peat area where the history is told, with the licorice strwin through the village, with the boat from one side to the other side of the park, look in the various houses and at crafts. Also nice different restaurants to sit.

The park is quite good, but the entrance fee is very high. I expected more!

Beautiful open air museum..sufficient to see and do. Definitely worth it when the weather is good.

Enjoyed it nice to look here again after at least 15 years. Delicious bread and cakes bought there at the bakery. Smelled so good.

A special event, for me certainly, because my ancestors worked in the high moor area, scooping 2500 peat locks per person out of the ground, stacking and more heavy work. Very nice with two trains through the peat area and that is also possible with a boat. Also received a fantastic explanation from a sweet boy who knew a lot about peat history. And he did the shoveling for it too, really great.

This place used to be really beautiful. But due to a lack of maintenance, things have deteriorated sharply. There are also nice demonstrations and the baker bakes the tastiest currant bread and other delicacies.

On the trail of the past. Visiting from the water ... even more beautiful. Very nice harbor master.

Tip of the Day! A nice outing for the not so critical fellow camperers. Peat park in Barger-Compascuum. Nice open air museum, bit dated. Something nice can be made with some sponsorship. But we thought it was worth the 14 pp e-ticket. Dogs are allowed. You can spend the night in the parking lot. This is free when visiting the park. Continue to the rear where the toilet block is, which is no longer in use. However, electricity can be supplied there. An additional advantage is that we are completely alone here and that Yade can be wonderfully loose los

No demonstrations, staff only chatted with each other, eating places were not clean

The Veenpark is great, very nice to see the history of the peat. And experience how it used to be back then. There is plenty to do for the children, playing at the playground, on and around the schoolyard. The peat train is also an experience for the whole family.

Super cool, all they destroyed some things. The trains are fun for the younger children.

Great park for young and old. Nice piece of history.

Was very disappointing. Train and explanation about tufsteken was fun and interesting. Cottages are poorly maintained and have little information.

Very dated. Remain in the eighties. Much more could be achieved. Especially because it concerns a piece of interesting history. A waste of money at the moment. Really needs an upgrade

Is great fun especially for children nice restaurant

It is great to see the Netherlands of old. It is well kept and should be there for future generations to experience.

It was a beautiful day in terms of weather. Nice train. Good food and you learn something. Best for groups with young children

Very interesting .to see it all .and yes now we know what it was like to have nothing and to be satisfied .if you didn't have much.

A great open-air museum with nice staff. Definitely recommendable.

Watched him pass by in the offer. Very nice museum to visit with children. Especially the trains and boat were appreciated.

Beautiful peat park that takes you back in time. Walking around yourself, with the steam train or with a boat, everything is possible. Top park.

Expensive park for what it offers. Interior cottages are not consistent with time frame. Little to do. Trains and boat make up for it. The excavation is also interesting, as is the indoor exhibition.
