Things to do in South Holland Province, The Netherlands: The Best Outdoor Activities

July 24, 2021 Christa Meece

Encompassing two of the Netherlands’ three largest cities (Rotterdam and The Hague), Zuid-Holland (South Holland) is also home to important towns like Leiden, Gouda and Delft. And many lovely smaller towns dot the gorgeous green landscape. Alphen aan den Rijn has several interesting attractions, including Dutch history theme park Archeon. Picturesque Kinderdijk, birthplace of the legend of the Cat and the Cradle, also has many windmills that together are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rotterdam Zoo

Reviewed By Mark_Daemen - Ghent, Belgium

We had a great time in this Zoo. We spend over 4 hours and didn't get to see it all. Naturally everyone has its favorites. We liked the gorillas that where inside with the warm weather and the hyenas chewing on bones. We went to see the feeding of the sharks and the tigers. Probably we, and most visitors, expected too much of it as the animals got bored soon so there was not much to see. Great lay out by continent so you have a great mix of different species (birds, mammals,...) in every continent. The food in the restaurant are typical dutch fast food options. I tried a 'broodje kroket' that really missed taste, with or without the accompanying sauce. Broodje Unox (hot dog) had the same problem. Perhaps best to take a picknick with you. Great bakeries (like Koekela) in Rotterdam. We came with an Uber from the centre for 7 euro which is cheaper than the 3,50 euro/person for a two hour ticket for the bus as you will take longer than two hours in the Zoo. Probably the same with a taxi.

Fantastic place for couples,families, disabled people are also catered for with a man made wheelchair friendly ramp down to the sea, loads of eateries, bars and a few shops.The beach is like caster sugar, when you come off the ferry from u.k. or whilst waiting for ferry to the u.k.or like we do arrive early on the beach for the day, have a lovely evening meal on the beach, then head off 5min drive to ferry, shower on the ship,wake up refreshed as you arrive in the u.k. in the morning.

Beach Wassenaarseslag

Reviewed By Kirsty_Smallman - Alvaston, United Kingdom

Absolutely stunning beach just a 10 min cycle ride from Duinrell or a 45 minute walk. All separate from the road. The beach has a row of bars and restaurants and snack bars so if you aren't a lover of sitting on sand then this is perfect as you can sit in the bar whilst the kids play on the sand below. Clean and tidy as loads of bins and plenty of places to buy buckets and spades. Also a car park available if you are driving there but the cycle/walking route is lovely.
