You also have a lovely enclosed courtyard garden at your disposal. From the front door, you can walk straight into the center of Enkhuizen
Enkhuizen is a beautiful historical town. Its location on the Zuiderzee offers a combination of water fun and the ambiance and entertainment of a big city.
Before Amsterdam became the capital of Holland, Enkhuizen was the most important trading town. And you can see that everywhere—the beautiful old buildings, the lovely details, and the wide range of catering establishments. You find excellent bistros, cozy cafés, and a wide choice of fine restaurants everywhere. If you like shopping, you will also see what you need here. Apart from the big shops, there are many specialty shops, and most of the shops are located in beautiful buildings. Enkhuizen also has many fascinating museums. The Zuiderzee Museum is an absolute must. You can easily spend a whole day wandering around this large open-air museum. Old houses are reconstructed, old crafts come to life, and children can play with old toys.
If you want to visit Enkhuizen with children, you can see the nostalgic playground Kindervreugde. But we also definitely recommend Sprookjeswonderland. Fairy tales come to life in this amusement park. Look inside a gnome's house, sail in a dapper boat, pet the animals in the petting zoo, take a ride in the Oldtimer Track, or go on an exciting Fencepedition! With slightly older children, Klimpark Streekbos in Bovenkarspel is a tip. This spectacular climbing park has challenging obstacles and spectacular ziplines, and next to the park, you will find a miniature golf course and canoe hire.
Enkhuizen offers many options for water sports enthusiasts, including water skiing, canoeing, surfing, wakeboarding, banana sailing, and Fun Tubing. If you want to explore Enkhuizen in a special way, take a suptour through the canals. In bad weather, the Enkhuizerzand recreational pool offers a solution. Here, in addition to a competition pool and a recreational pool, you will find a paddling pool, various slides and Turkish steam rooms and sunbeds.
And this port city really shouldn't be left without having sailed once. In the summer, there is a ferry service to Urk, Stavoren, or Medemblik. You can also hire an authentic sailing ship with a group and enjoy sailing with family or friends
