Enjoy a summer holiday in 2025 with the whole family in South Holland

In the Netherlands, summer holidays are divided into three periods, with the south, north, and central regions each having different dates:

  • South Netherlands Summer Holiday 2025: July 5 to August 17

  • North Netherlands Summer Holiday 2025: July 12 to August 24

  • Central Netherlands Summer Holiday 2025: July 19 to August 31

This means that from July 4 to September 1, 2025, you can enjoy all the summer activities offered by Family Resort Molenwaard. With average temperatures of 20–25°C, the summer holiday offers the perfect balance of sunny days and pleasant weather for exploring the polder! The village of Ottoland, where Family Resort Molenwaard is located, is in South Holland. During the summer holiday, there’s also plenty to see and do in the cities outside the polder.

 

What can you do at the holiday park during the summer holidays?

Family Resort Molenwaard is the ultimate holiday park for families during the summer holidays. Children can freely play with water at Fountains Square or join the water games, and there are several playgrounds with climbing structures where they can play endlessly. On really warm days, you can enjoy swimming, boating, or renting a pedal boat in the natural pond at the center of the resort. During your stay, Fien & Teun also perform various mini-shows.

Want a unique, summery way to explore the polder? Step into a canoe and paddle along the beautiful nature with a guide. Prefer to explore on your own? That’s no problem, you can also rent canoes without a guide. At Family Resort Molenwaard, boredom is never an option with all the entertainment on offer. Want to feel a little like camping, but with all the comforts of a cottage? Then choose an Adventure Tent!

Polder Passport

A fun way for children to play outside, go for walks, and learn about nature is with the Polder Passport. The Polder Passport comes in both a children’s and a toddler version and is provided for free to every child during their stay. It contains fun games, puzzles, and activities. Kids can explore nature looking for all the items in the outdoor bingo or draw beautiful things from nature. If the weather isn’t ideal, you can bake pancakes together using the real Fien & Teun pancake recipe or do “spot the difference” puzzles. The booklet also includes a bedtime story that you can read together. With the Polder Passport, children will never be bored during a summer holiday at Family Resort Molenwaard.
