Seek and find
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!).

@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

A cookbook from Grandma. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home.
The Sühring brothers do not cook based on trends; they cook from memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations.
@relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care.
This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception.
Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly?
🍴 Labskaus with caviar
🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar
🍴 Game pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules.
Important to know:
– Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket)
– For personal use only
– Do not scoop or scrape the soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing.
In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them without much effort. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

From a free event to try new Limited Subs at @ijveramsterdam to slow mornings, a market stroll (or two), maybe finally ticking off that new restaurant that's been on your list for weeks… and ending somewhere with a good glass of wine while telling yourself “just one more” 😉

Not too big,

But plenty of nice hotspots!!
These services (and what clothing) are in the Netherlands perfuse for you to tip this line!
I've got massive spring fever, so it's time for a mini-escape: everything is within walking distance, there are lovely coffee shops, boutiques for shopping, and enough gems to discover in 48 hours ✨

And yes, market season is officially back. Think vintage finds, design treasures and sunny terrace stops in between.
Plus, plenty of feel-good plans: from a Korean Sunday brunch @nikotin.restobar to a kid-proof pizza nights.

Corn mazes in the Netherlands as a new late summer and autumn tradition
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.
Tip: go to a corn maze in the Netherlands with the kids
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.
14 of the best corn mazes in the Netherlands
Corn maze The Drentse Koe – Ruinerwold, Drenthe
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
Corn maze – Malden, Gelderland
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
© Maisdoolhof Malden
Corn maze – Voorthuizen, Gelderland
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
Corn maze Hof van Overveld – Prinsenbeek, North Brabant
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
Brandevoortse Farm – Helmond, North Brabant
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

Corn maze D'ELF IEKEN – Elsloo, Friesland
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

Mark your calendars for these corn mazes for 2022
Corn maze Udenhout – Udenhout, North Brabant
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
Corn maze at Bouwlust Farm – Maasland, South Holland
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
Corn maze Nederweert – Nederweert, Limburg
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
Corn Maze Labyrinth of the King – Klaaswaal, South Holland
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 >>

Large Twente Corn Maze – Fleringen, Overijssel
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
Corn maze Buurse – Buurse, Overijssel
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

Large Salland Corn Maze – Lemelerveld, Overijssel
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
Parklands Corn Maze – Nieuw-Vennep, North Holland
In Nieuw Vennep, in the Parklanden, you will find a corn maze almost every year among the vast cornfields. Stay tuned for updates >>
