What to do
in Oldenzaal
With a class, a team, a group of friends or the whole family. We set up a programme that suits the group you bring.
A route through a centre you can walk around
If you're looking for something to do in Oldenzaal, you usually end up with things you do on your own or in a small group. For a party of twenty or thirty it's harder. There's plenty on offer, but it's rarely built for a group that arrives at the same time and wants to leave at the same time. We turn that around: we don't have a hall you drive to, we bring the programme to the place you already have.
What Oldenzaal does bring is a compact centre. You can walk from the Markt to the Plechelmus Basilica and back without rushing, and on the edge of town there's Het Hulsbeek for anyone who'd rather stay outdoors. That makes a route or scavenger hunt through the town practical, without people getting lost. What we need is a starting point where the group meets and a place to finish afterwards. We'll agree both with you, based on what you already use.
What we come to Oldenzaal for most often

Where it can take place

Frequently asked questions
What can you do in Oldenzaal with a larger group?
The town centre lends itself well to something that takes place outdoors, because you can walk from one side to the other in a quarter of an hour. There are also plenty of halls, canteens and clubhouses. What's missing is a fixed place where you can just do something with thirty people, so almost every group has the programme come to them instead of going somewhere.
Can you set up an activity around the town itself?
Yes. For a route through the town centre we check beforehand, on the spot, which points are usable and how people will walk between them. Around the Markt and the basilica everything is close together, which is good for the pace but also means we take terraces and shoppers into account.
What does a children's party in Oldenzaal cost?
A compact children's party in Oldenzaal starts at €195, and a more extensive custom programme starts at €550. After the first conversation you'll have a concrete amount on paper, so you don't commit to anything based on an estimate.
How far in advance should we book?
Two to three weeks is usually enough. In the weeks around carnival and in December the diary fills up faster in this corner of Twente, so it's wise to enquire earlier for those periods.
