A while back, I visited the Plopsaland hotel in De Panne, by the sea. Although I can be a bit critical at times, I have to admit: I highly recommend it!

If you book a room themed around the Studio 100 characters, you’ll often pay a bit more, but which “themed” rooms are still affordable these days? We opted for the standard theater room, and it was perfectly fine.

Also worth mentioning is the restaurant buffet: a wide selection for both adults and children. Of course, a visit from your favorite Plopsa characters is a must.

Another tip: keep an eye out for all hotel and amusement park discounts, including those on http://www.plopsa.be.

Plopperdeplop!

De Tovertuin is een nieuw animatiepark rond de figuren van Woezel en Pip, van Van Hoorne Studios. Hoewel het park (indoor in outdoor niet reuzegroot) is, was het er in de paasvakantie van 2026 niet zo druk.

Feit is: in het overdekte zwembad lijkt het nooit druk te zijn. Dat komt wellicht doordat je op voorhand moet reserveren en omdat men werkt met reservatieslot.

Wat de horeca betreft, leek de drukte het beste mee te vallen bij restaurant Klieder, terwijl het in het pannenkoekenrestaurant best wel druk was.

Yep, you read that right. On April 9, 2011, when the new season kicked off at most amusement parks, I started working at Bobbejaanland. They say blood is thicker than water. I became a seasonal employee through a temp agency, working until November 6, six days a week.

BJL was celebrating its 50th anniversary at the time, and there was a lot of work underway. The highlight of 2011 was “Dizz,” a new spinning coaster.
