Published on: 18 February 2026

Outdoorpark Alkmaar is opening the outdoor season on Wednesday 25 February 2026 with an adventurous day during the half-term holiday. For €7.50, visitors can enjoy unlimited climbing on all obstacles in the park from 10:00 to 13:00, and with the same ticket they also get access to assault courses and inflatables in the sports hall of the Hoornse Vaart sports complex from 12:00 to 16:00. In addition, there is a guided introduction to archery in the morning from 10:30 to 11:00. Anyone who wants to can finish off the day with a swim at Hoornse Vaart swimming pool for €2. On this day, the pool will also feature extra swimming fun with free entertainment, a 15-metre-long obstacle course and an Experience Centre. Tickets and more information can be found at www.outdoorparkalkmaar.nl/opening2026.

Start outside, continue inside, finish wet

The season opening has been designed as a day on which visitors can easily keep the momentum going: first into the climbing park and then heading indoors for extra action. “We want you to really experience a holiday adventure here, without having to choose,” says Tom Leering, coordinator at Outdoorpark Alkmaar. “You start outdoors with climbing and archery, and if it rains that's no deal-breaker: a super cool obstacle course is waiting inside the sports complex. And getting muddy or wet doesn't matter, of course; that's just part of playing outside. Anyone who still has energy left after that can finish off the day in the swimming pool.”

Here is everything there is to do on 25 February

With the €7.50 ticket, visitors can enjoy unlimited free climbing at Outdoorpark Alkmaar between 10:00 and 13:00. Between 10:30 and 11:00, there is an accessible introduction to archery at the park under supervision. The same ticket provides access from 12:00 to 16:00 to the sports hall of the Hoornse Vaart sports complex, where bouncy castles and obstacle courses are set up for jumping, running and scrambling. For an extra €2, there is also recreational swimming at the Hoornse Vaart swimming pool from 13:00 to 17:00, featuring a 15-metre-long obstacle course in the water, free entertainment and an introduction to mermaid swimming from 15:00 to 15:45.

Special offer for out-of-school clubs

After-school care providers can make use of Outdoorpark Alkmaar and the bouncy castles and obstacle courses in the sports hall for €5 per child (minimum of 8 children). Tickets and more information can be found at www.outdoorparkalkmaar.nl/opening2026.
