Want to do something you've probably never done before this weekend? Then go (with the kids) to one of the corn mazes in the Netherlands! While compiling my annual bucket list for fun things to do with my son, I stumbled across it, and I have to admit, I'd never even heard of it before. Especially not in the Netherlands! A corn maze is a labyrinth created by farmers in their cornfields. It's naturally the most fun and spectacular to visit when the cornfields are at their peak and the corn is perhaps two meters tall. Most corn mazes in the Netherlands are open from around the end of July to the end of October, when the harvest is underway. Many of the corn mazes offer even more activities for kids, and there's a small entrance fee (be sure to bring cash, as debit cards aren't accepted everywhere!).

This is the coolest new hotel for a night away! Meet @viaantwerp, Antwerp's newest boutique hotel on the border of Zurenborg and Borgerhout (yep, voted the 2nd coolest neighborhood in the world by Time Out).
I recently stayed at this gem, and it truly has it all: a lively bar with a cozy atmosphere, walls adorned with creative art, beautiful, bright rooms, and it's within walking distance of great hotspots. And I haven't even mentioned @mea.antwerp! The delightful restaurant, helmed by a chef who previously worked at The Palomar in London. If you know, you know!
And now the best news:
I can surprise one of you with a dream night away at VIA Antwerp. 💛
And in my opinion
• Overnight stay for 2 people
• Breakfast included
• Chef's Dinner at MEA
And in Flanders
• Let us know in the comments which friend you would like to stay here with
• Of course, take a look at @viaantwerp & @mea.antwerp to dream away and follow their updates
The winner will be notified personally via DM on December 10th.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and will soon share a mini guide with more great tips for Antwerp! 🖤

I've rounded up a complete list with the coziest and most festive Christmas markets in Amsterdam you don't want to miss this year. Think twinkling lights, mulled wine, food stalls, live music, unique gifts and lots of Christmas vibes all December long.
Whether you're planning a festive day with the fam or friends, or just want to soak up that holiday spirit. These are the markets in Amsterdam to put on your calendar now. 🎄✨

HOME ALONE 4 INCOMING 😅 My trip to NYC ends in a bad (Christmas) movie when the hotel gives my carry-on luggage with passport to an old lady who doesn't realize this and checks the luggage on a flight to the UK!
Now I'm stuck here in NY without a passport, and I missed my flight.
I've experienced a lot in all the years I've been traveling for Your Little Black Book, but this is a first 😅.
This chat video is purely therapeutic in nature 🤣🤣🤣. Because really: HOW?! 🫢
Note to self: it's better to carry your passport all day, instead of leaving it "safely" in the hotel, apparently... and from now on, attach suitcases with cables in the storage room. Even if you're staying in a luxurious and expensive hotel, everything is still done by humans.
Now I'm stuck in one of the world's coolest cities, but of course I just want to be home with Manuel, as planned. 😔
To be continued 🧳✈️
And thanks for all the sweet DMs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How cool is this? There are places in the Netherlands where you can cut down your own Christmas tree! You don't hear about it very often, even though it's quite common in America (where I'm currently!).
Good to know: some of these places in the Netherlands are only open for a few days a year and you have to reserve a time slot.

This time we went to @williams.farmhouse, one of my favorite lunch spots in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. But is it also fun during the day with kids?
We ordered a 'plain' version of the Farmhouse burger 🍔: yes, really just meat + cheese 🤣… and together with the fries it was a mega success.
Happy child, happy us... and it was such a cozy, rainy afternoon. I mean, this interior makes me dream of the Cotswolds again!

| ALSO LIKE: Have you heard of these pumpkin farms in the Netherlands that are fun to visit from September onwards?
Just like with HalloweenCreating and visiting a corn maze is a fun tradition that has come over from America. And as with all things American, you either love it or hate it! I personally love the Indian summer and autumn. And how much fun is it to do something fun with the kids outdoors? For these tips, don't forget to bring your boots! An extra set of clean clothes for the kids is also handy if you're visiting these corn mazes in the Netherlands.
Especially when my son was a toddler and preschooler, I searched every week for something fun to do on my mommy day that perfectly matched the season. Next time, consider a corn maze! Anyone who thinks we'd have to spend ages in the car for that is mistaken. Did you know that almost every province in the Netherlands has its own corn maze? In this list, I've compiled all the corn mazes I've spotted in the Netherlands. We're going exploring in North Holland soon! Have fun with the kid-friendly tips from this list.
Don't forget to always check the organization's website beforehand for up-to-date information and opening hours. Because it's a nature outing, these are subject to change.

Anyone who's ever been to Drenthe might have taken their kids to the Drentse Koe play farm. This is perhaps one of the most famous corn mazes in the Netherlands. From July to the end of October, a visit becomes even more enjoyable with the opening of the nearly one-hectare corn maze. During the exciting walk through the cornfield, an extra play element has been added, with various columns that you can "pump" with your foot. The pumping action and the kinetic energy generated by the action play music and ask questions about the farm. There are different questions for every age group. Good to know: admission to the corn maze is included in the regular admission to De Drentse Koe, where there's plenty of fun for kids year-round. drentsekoe.nl
There's so much to see, do, and learn for all ages at this rural location in Malden, Gelderland. Besides the corn maze, which opens every year around July, there are also American farm games to enjoy. Play ladder golf or cornhole, for example. There are also trampolines and laser tag (sometimes even in the maze at night!). Visitors can bring their own lunch and enjoy it at various picnic tables around the grounds. Snacks and drinks are also available for purchase at the corn maze. maisdoolhof.nl

One of the most diverse corn mazes in the Netherlands, because there's so much more to do. The corn maze in Voorthuizen is perfect for a day out with little kids. Besides the maze, there's also a play park and a petting zoo. In the corn maze, which usually opens in early July, you can get lost among towering corn plants. End the day with delicious fries, sandwiches, or ice cream. maisdoolhofvoorthuizen.nl
The Hof van Overveld corn maze has been open again since July. In September, the corn is at its peak, and even adults can't see the way. The maze is open to the public daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Each year, the maze has a different theme. hofvanoverveld.nl
Starting in July, you can enter the enormous corn maze at the Brandevoortse Hoeve in Helmond for €6. This corn maze is especially fun for children and is therefore geared towards them. A fun detail: adults can accompany children for free. You can register for the maze at the farm shop. The maze is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Tuesday through Sunday, and until the end of September. In addition to the corn maze, the Brandevoortse Hoeve also has a play barn, and in the spring, asparagus and strawberries are harvested there. debrandevoortsehoeve.nl

© Brandevoortse Hoeve
Since 2007, D'ELF IEKEN has organized an annual corn maze. This might even be one of the oldest corn mazes in the Netherlands! This year, a labyrinth has been created on the over one-hectare corn field, perfect for the whole family to explore. Just like in previous years, as you approach the observation tower in the center of the field, you'll encounter signs with various challenges to make finding your way a real game. Besides the corn maze, the grounds also feature a mini-campsite, food and drink outlets, and both indoor and outdoor playgrounds (open until the end of October). elf-ieken.nl

© Elf Ieken
Enter the corn maze, embark on an adventure, conquer the towering corn plants, and find your way out. Wander through the corn maze to the observation tower, searching for quiz questions and finding the teddy bears in the 1,5-hectare field of towering corn. Climb the observation tower for a panoramic view of the corn maze. Bonus: after your wandering, you'll receive a well-deserved bag of popcorn. The corn maze in Uden is open every year until the end of September. maisdoolhofudenhout.weebly.com
Hoeve Bouwlust is a great place for an afternoon or morning with the kids, as they offer fun activities year-round and even have a local shop. From mid-July to mid-September, there's a corn maze with a unique GPS-guided discovery trail. Whether the corn maze will reopen this year is still unknown. However, there are plenty of other fun things to do on the farm! hoevebouwlust.nl
The cornfield at Gommers Ice Cream Farm has once again been transformed into the Netherlands' largest corn maze. The maze is the size of five football fields! Each year, the maze has a new theme and accompanying activities. This year's maze is unfortunately already over; starting in mid-July, you can get lost again in the corn maze at Gommers Ice Cream Farm in Nederweert. maisdoolhofnederweert.nl
For a modest fee, young and old can get lost in the Koningshoeve grounds on Botweg in Klaaswaal. The maze offers various junctions where questions can be discovered. Answering the question correctly leads to the right path. The maze is generally open from late July to late September or the first weekend of October. Whether the maze will open this year has not yet been announced on the website. View the website here >>

© De Koningshoeve
Get some fresh air, get lost in a corn maze with your friends, or pick your own flowers at the Groot Twentsch Maize Maze. When the maze is open, the enormous observation tower in the center is your destination. Not only do you have to navigate the various intersections and dead ends along the route, but the solutions to the quest will also lead to the solution of a real mystery. The Twentsche Bloemenpluktuin (Twente Flower Picking Garden) is also located on the grounds of the Groot Twentsch Maize Maze. Beautiful cut flowers in every shade of the rainbow adorn this 3000-square-meter garden. Here you can create a beautiful bouquet to give as a gift or to keep for yourself. Both the maze and the flower garden are open every year from July to the end of August. groottwentschmaisdoolhof.nl

© Great Twente Corn Maze
Just like in previous years, a fun puzzle trail has been set up in the cornfield at Meijersgaardenweg 5 in Buurse. The maze will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM until the corn harvest at the end of September. Check the Buurse Corn Maze Facebook page for more information and updates. facebook.com/maisdoolhofbuurse

Take a trip to Lemelerveld's Groot Sallands Maize Maze for a day outdoors with the kids. Climb the lookout tower, solve the missions, and crack the safe! Want to spend an unforgettable evening in the spooky maize maze? Then join your friends for the ghost tours the Groot Sallands Maize Maze organizes for older kids. Do you dare? The Groot Salland Maize Maze will be open again from the end of July to the end of September. grootsallandsmaisdoolhof.nl
In Nieuw Vennep, in the Parklanden, you will find a corn maze almost every year among the vast cornfields. Stay tuned for updates >>
Have you ever been to one of these corn mazes in the Netherlands? I'm curious!
