For a night out, you don't have to look far. From theater and cabaret to dance and live music - the theaters and venues in the region offer a varied and exciting program for every taste.

There is also plenty to do for families with children. Amusement parks, a zoo full of adventures and a monkey park where you stand eye-to-eye with swinging monkeys - it's all within easy reach. Those who dare can even venture between the treetops in the exciting Klimbos Veluwe. Guaranteed fun for young and old!

Apeldoorn and its surroundings form the backdrop of centuries of royal tradition and impressive heritage.
