Slagharen opens holiday gate in time for Easter weekend
F
ollowing an easing of restrictions, Slagharen opened its holiday park in Germany on 2 April. The opening date for the amusement park, however, is still to be determined. Ahead of the opening, managing director, Dave Storm said: “As in 2020, the pre-planned opening date for 2021 did not seem obvious. Despite the hard lock-down that is on the agenda until the end of March, we have noticed a broad interest from consumers to go out and about. We are responding to this need by opening the holiday
park gate separately. Of course we will use the opening to celebrate together with our guests and employees that Spring is in full swing!” Prices have been amended to reflect the fact that the amusement currently park is out of bounds and guests will also receive a family entrance ticket for a date when the theme park is open again. Those who want to take a break with their family or household can choose from various holiday homes at Slagharen, each with the beautiful nature of the Vechtdal as a backdrop.
