When i was younger my parents used to take me to a park nearby. My last visit must have been something like 20 years ago (as in i can't remember when that was)
The parks is a real family park, as in it's aiming for families with small children. Most of the attractions are for those children.
Anyway, since i did not have much to do last week i decided to check out the place once more to see what had changed and maybe even score a new credit.

Link to their website (in dutch)
http://www.julianatoren.nl

The place is smaller then i remembered and there are way more attractions packed in this small area compared to my memories.

Here's a bunch of my pictures to give you an idea of the place.

Thanks so much for sharing Hanno. This park just looks like the perfect family day out. I don't understand why we don't have more places like this in the US. Oh yeah, the no personal responsibility and lawsuit thing...bummer!

That's a really cool park. It's so compact and yet they managed to get a lot of attractions in there. I really liked where they placed the rockin tug. Thanks for the trip report!

I Love Donkeys!

When i saw the overview park, it hought it was just going to be some type of advanced ghetto fair. Slap me with a tuna for thinkin like that. It's amazing how much cool stuff they have built in there. That and all the copyright infringement... well blatant copyright rip-offs.

Mind if I ask, but what is that "jul's tollende muis" ride? Is it one of those tumbling capsule rides?

:lol: At the Flintstones, Batman, and Inspector Gadget knockoffs.

Looks like a nice family day out, I am just wondering if there are any parks like that left in the UK?

Woow this place changed a lot!!! I used to go there with school. 10+ years ago or something. Is the maze (near the tower) still there?? I owned that maze!

Its really weird that they have to pack all the attractions in such a small place, it has a lot of "empty" space surrounding it. Or is that also part of De Veluwe (national park)?? Aah well, thanks a lot hanno!

East Coast Wes don't smell, honest.

What a nice little family park!

I'm amazed at the theming that goes into these places, where a park that size in the States would never spend that much money on theming.

The park also has a RCT feel to it, but in a good way!
