Forest trails and a tropical jungle await nature lovers
In the heart of the Heijen forest, near Nijmegen
Set in a wooded valley near the city of Nijmegen, Center Parc Het Heijderbos is a go-to destination for nature lovers and those seeking adventure. This recreational complex features an enchanting setting defined by dense forests and close proximity to De Maasduinen National Park. Opened in 1986, Het Heijderbos stands out for its natural atmosphere and modern facilities, creating an immersive experience in the great outdoors.
The heart of the park houses the Aqua Mundo, a massive indoor aquatic complex where visitors can enjoy wave pools, high-speed slides, and wild rapids, which currently rank as the fastest white-water river across all Center Parcs locations. A snorkeling area is available on-site, and introductory scuba diving sessions are regularly organized. Het Heijderbos also offers a multitude of outdoor activities such as forest climbing, high-ropes courses, and woodland cycling, making this property a solid pick for thrill-seekers and explorers. Children can burn off energy in the Jungle Dome, an indoor play area that replicates a tropical forest, while adults can unwind in a well-equipped spa or join guided nature excursions.

The indoor activities, like the pool or the game rooms for kids, are not bad but pretty standard for a Center Parc.
The advantage of this center is the big forest all around for some nice walks.
Just FYI, it is not a problem if you do not speak Dutch, the staff speaks very good English.
