Babylonstoren
Babylonstoren in winter is pure magic – even for the little ones. Kids can wander through the garden paths; pick and eat fruit straight from a tree; meet the donkeys, ducks and chickens; or join in on interactive workshops with themes that range from arts and crafts to gardening. The Greenhouse Restaurant is the perfect spot to pause with fresh juices, warm tea, and picnic-style bites that celebrate the seasons with garden-inspired ingredients. With wide-open spaces, hearty seasonal food, and plenty to see and do, it’s a win for everyone.
