Nostalgic market around the Hooglandse Kerk over two long weekends: 11–13 and 17–20 December.

In the dunes of Wassenaar, Duinrell's Tiki Pool bills itself as the largest water park in the Benelux. More than twenty slides, from gentle to dizzying, surround the tropical pools, and the youngest have their own splash areas. In November it opens afternoons and evenings on weekdays and all day at weekends, closed on Mondays. Hours for December and the Christmas holidays had not yet been published when we checked, so look at the website or the Duinrell app. Tip: the evening Tiki Pool ticket gives you four hours of swimming, and parking costs €15 (first 90 minutes free); because of work on a new entrance, it is not wheelchair accessible until the end of March 2027.
