At the heart of Center Parcs Parc Sandur is the central building with various restaurants, shops and leisure facilities.

Sports enthusiasts can make use of the fitness facilities in the park or explore the surrounding area by bike. Various bikes are available for hire, allowing you to discover the extensive cycle paths through the idyllic Drenthe countryside, while the neighbouring De Grote Rietplas lake offers numerous opportunities for water sports and recreation. Here you can go boating, fishing or try out stand-up paddling. Pedal boats are also available for hire. If you just want to relax, the small sandy beaches or the sunny meadows around the lake are the perfect places to switch off.
Children have plenty of opportunities to let off steam and discover new things at Center Parcs Parc Sandur. The outdoor playgrounds are equipped with swings, climbing frames and slides, while the large indoor play paradise offers a weather-independent alternative. Here, the little ones can have fun in a colourful play world with climbing elements, trampolines and ball pools.
A dedicated entertainment team provides fun and entertainment with a varied children's programme. Depending on the season, exciting treasure hunts, craft workshops and themed days are organised. Sporting activities such as mini disco or ball games are also on the programme. Particularly popular are the nature explorations, where children can playfully discover the flora and fauna of the region.
Aqua Mundo at Center Parcs Parc Sandur offers swimming fun for the whole family. The spacious indoor pool with a 25-metre pool is suitable for both relaxed swimming laps and playful hours with the children. A large water slide provides action, while the separate children's pool with water toys is specially designed for the youngest guests. Those longing for relaxation can enjoy the soothing warmth of the whirlpool or steam bath. Thanks to the idyllic atmosphere, you'll feel like you're on a summer holiday even on grey days.
Several restaurants in the central area of the park cater for your culinary needs. The Central Garden is a cosy meeting place for coffee, cake or a light lunch and invites you to linger and relax. The Beach House offers an à la carte restaurant right on the waterfront, where you are welcome for coffee, lunch, drinks or dinner. There is also The Grill Company, a steakhouse with a special concept: each table is equipped with its own grill so that you can prepare your own breakfast or dinner. Typical Dutch snacks such as frikandel or bitterballen can be found at the snack bar - ideal for a quick meal in between. If you prefer to dine in your own holiday home, you can use the practical delivery service or buy fresh ingredients and products in the well-stocked supermarket.
The Drenthe region is known for its unspoilt nature, historical sights and family-friendly excursion destinations. De Grote Rietplas lake right next to the park is ideal for water sports activities. In addition to canoeing and fishing, the surrounding area offers numerous cycling and hiking trails that lead through forests, meadows and along small canals.
For culture lovers, the prehistoric megalithic tombs, the so-called Hunebedden, are a particular highlight. These millennia-old stone formations are among the oldest structures in the Netherlands and are explained in detail in several museums in the region.
Just a few kilometres from the park is the town of Emmen, which is home to the Wildlands Adventure Zoo, one of the biggest attractions in the region. Here, visitors can explore different climate zones and experience animals in natural enclosures. A trip to Assen or Groningen is also worthwhile, where charming old towns, museums and cosy cafés invite you to linger.
