With your group to Bobbejaanland

Bobbejaanland is in Lichtaart, part of Kasterlee in the Kempen, on the Olensteenweg. For schools from the province of Antwerp and from Limburg it is a short drive along the E313; from Ghent or the coast the coach goes via Antwerp.

The park has its own school department. If you want the school rate, you book at least five working days in advance, and the rate applies from ten paying pupils. On the day itself you tell the main ticket desk how many of you there are; that may differ a little from what you ordered.

Watch out with a small group: the free parking applies to coaches. For cars and minibuses Bobbejaanland charges the normal parking rate. If you come with twenty pupils, a midibus or coach is the simplest choice for parking as well.
