Huddle together during the exciting spectacular Raveleijn park show featuring stunt horse riders and a fire-breathing monster. End your day on a high at Aquanura, the biggest water show in Europe. The little ones will scamper joyfully in the Fairytale Forest and party around the world in Carnaval Festival.

There’s the opportunity to set sail on a raging sea aboard the mysterious ghost ship De Vliegende Hollander and to shoot straight down a deep mineshaft at 90 kilometer per hour in the dive coaster Baron 1898. 

Embark on an adventure and visit Doloris' Meta Maze in the city of Tilburg which is unlike the traditional hedge pathways in Baroque gardens or plastic indoor playgrounds. While it is built to make you lose your orientation, it also fulfills you with the immense joy of discovering something new. Entering the Meta Maze, you find a sheer multitude of surreal rooms where you can dive through dream-like landscapes, profoundly strange spaces, and flabbergasting art pieces, all integrated into one big creation. It’s sometimes dark but never made to frighten the visitor, but rather encourage them to pause and marvel. Take your time, as there’s surely enough to discover inside. Witness this unique activity that cannot be properly described by words, you need to see with your own eyes. The Meta Maze was created by the Berlin-based artist platform Karmanoia. The Meta Maze is nested into a larger event space called Doloris. On the rooftop, there is a bar and restaurant serving excellent street food and providing a fabulous scenic view over the city of Tilburg.
