During your stay, help feed our farm animals at the Roek Petting Zoo. Learn what the animals like to eat and how to brush and care for a horse. How many udders does a goat have? And what is the difference between hay and straw? Together with our team you will travel across the Rook to admire and learn everything.

Feeding and caring for animals

Our petting zoo is a fun way to spend time during your stay at our holiday park, especially for young children. The animals are fed every day at fixed times and guests of the park are allowed to help. This activity always takes place under supervision. During the week, the participants of our care company also help to give you a helping hand. For example, feeding chickens or pigs, milking a goat (seasonal), cuddling guinea pigs or brushing the horse.

Horse riding at the petting zoo

After feeding it is possible to ride laps on the back of our horse Fien. Fien would love to ride around with you through the large meadow on the Roek.
Do you dare to do this? Fien is very sweet and gentle, the world may suddenly seem very big on her back!

Assistant Farmer’s Diploma

After helping and learning, you have become a real assistant farmer. At check-in we will provide you with a stamp card on which you can collect stamps. If you have completed the activities properly, you can hand in this full stamp card to our team. You will then receive a real farmer’s diploma with a nice souvenir! Nice to look back on later.

Playground with water play area

In addition to the petting zoo, we have a nice playground at De Roek with an adventurous water hole that leads into the sandbox. When the weather is nice, this is a real attraction for children and they can enjoy themselves here for hours. We also have a bird’s nest that is great for swinging, a seesaw and a slide.

 

Because cars are not allowed in our park, it is often possible for children to go to the petting zoo or playground themselves. Our experience is that once they have made friends at our park and know the way, they are of no use to you anymore.
