The Drentse Koe Play and Ice Cream Farm in Ruinerwold is an outdoor and indoor playground with a farm theme. They are not only a petting zoo, but also a play farm in Drenthe! Children can have a great time playing here and experience the real farm feeling. In the restaurant, they offer a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, cakes and pastries, sandwiches, toasted sandwiches, fries, and snacks.

In the outdoor area, you will find various play equipment, bouncy castles, go-karts, pedal tractors, a zipline, a large sand/water pit, a corn maze (July - October), and an animal pasture with donkeys, rabbits, chickens, and goats. You can also play in the heated 3-story play barn. Here you will find a unique play arena, a building loft, a climbing and sliding tower, a disco dance mat and a glow-in-the-dark ground floor with, among other things, traditional Dutch games and panna football. Also enjoy a cozy winter show with Lisa and Loetje on weekends (also on Wednesdays during holidays).

Corn Maze

Come to the Drentse Koe and get lost in the corn maze. The corn maze at the play farm is the first interactive corn maze in the Netherlands. A unique outdoor play experience in the Netherlands! The corn maze, measuring no less than 1 hectare in size, has an extra play element. During the exciting journey through the cornfield, there are several pillars with questions for all ages. Check it out in our video! The corn maze is suitable for all ages. Experience it with your whole family at the Drentse Koe. The corn maze is fun for all ages. There's a real treasure hunt along the way where children answer questions. There's a level for each age category. There's a question for toddlers and preschoolers to children and (young) adults. Children can inflate the pillars in the corn maze with their feet. By generating energy themselves, a music starts. At the end, a question is asked. There's also a treasure hunt for moms and dads. So you won't be bored and can just join in with the kids. Afterwards there is a surprise for the children who have completed the corn maze.
