Herom Recreation
Cornelisgracht 42, 8355 CH
Enjoy the outdoors at Herom Recreation. If you’re looking for a place where you can enjoy plenty of activities, this is where you should go. Set up your camping pods in the middle of nature and when you’re all settled, go and try out some activities. If you want some time on the water, hop on the dragon boat and sail away. On the other hand, if you want to be more active, you can play some laser tag.
