A Day Out With the Kids
There is also a lot to do with the kids in colourful Geldrop-Mierlo. Play among the animals in Dierenrijk, discover the Viking playground or have daring adventures where the Standerd Molen of Mierlo used to be: the Molenheide. A special lookout has been made at the Molenheide playground so you can see where the mill used to be. Closely is the Katoenpad, the path from the exciting children's book that takes place on the Molenheide, right there in the forest.

Playground de Viking
Water play equipment, swings, a real fortress where they can climb, a large ship, a cable car, it doesn't stop! This is De Viking Playground.
The locals bring their little ones here in the summer. Bring a picnic blanket and some treats, because in this playground will keep the kids entertained for hours on end. The playground is completely fenced, so they cannot get lost.
They sell lemonade, candy and chips in the shop. For prices belonging to the past. Just like the entrance fee. For 1.60 euros you can stay all day. Do you want to let the kids play? Then drive to de Viking.

Playground de Molenheide
The Molenheide is close to the Katoenpad. A nice combination for a fantastic day in the forest. Now you can let your kids play on the various playground equipment that is there.
Until about 1860 there was still a mill on the Molenheide in Mierlo. And you can still see that. A special lookout at the edge of the playground gives you a nice idea of what it must have looked like in the past. And at the highest point, the Molenberg, a 10-meter-high contour of a mill has been placed. So it still looks a bit like the past.
