With your group to Plopsaland De Panne

Plopsaland is in Adinkerke, the part of De Panne along the E40, a few kilometres from the beach. On its own website the park is now called Plopsaland Belgium; the address is De Pannelaan 68.

For a school from inland Belgium it is a day with a long drive at both ends. From Ghent or Brussels the coach takes the E40 towards Ostend and, at the Jabbeke interchange, the road towards Veurne; from Antwerp or Limburg the E17 or the Brussels ring road comes on top of that. To make the most of the day, let the coach leave early and agree a fixed time with the class to be back at the coach.

Plopsa works with the Flemish levels of education: nursery, primary, secondary and special needs education, each with its own rule for free accompanying adults. In the coach that makes no difference: every teacher and every parent who comes along needs a seat of their own.
