This is where your kids party gets going on two wheels. Europe's only indoor mountain bike trail isn't tucked away in the Alps or the Ardennes, but right around the corner, smack in the middle of Flevoland.
Here they take a proper mountain bike round an indoor trail packed with berms, rollers, log crossings and wooden bridges. The great outdoors, only indoors. We hand them a bike and a helmet, run them through it, and off they go.
For the older ones especially (10, 11, 12) this doesn't feel like a "kids party" at all. More like a proper day out with their mates, with the birthday kid as the star of the show. And since the whole park is under a roof, the party goes ahead whether it's bucketing down or 28 degrees.
Parents say it every single time: kids who've never sat on a mountain bike are ripping through the berms within ten minutes, grinning ear to ear.
That's because every party kicks off with a briefing on the trail and the bike, plus an instructor riding along for the first twenty minutes or so. After that, they're off on their own.
Our instructors ride with them, watch out for them and hand out tips along the way. Group getting into it? They'll get something spicier to sink their teeth into. And if someone takes a tumble, we're right there to get them back on the bike.
Nothing for you to sort out. Just bring your best camera for the action shots 📸
From a picnic table in the middle of the trail you watch the kids fly past. No waiting room, no canteen with vending-machine coffee, just a seat where it all happens. And yes, we do proper fresh-bean coffee too 😉
Fair warning: some parents end up wanting a go on a mountain bike themselves halfway through.
A mountain bike party is for kids from 8 who've already had a few solid years on a bike. That's not a formality. Kids who are steady on two wheels can properly handle the trail, and that's when it turns into a real party.
If a child isn't quite there yet, their bike skills usually aren't up to it. To keep anyone from ending up on the sidelines, it's better to wait a year or two. Most parties here are kids between 8 and 12, exactly the age where mountain biking really clicks.
"There are good parties, less good parties, and truly epic parties. This was an epic party."

You'll find us on E. Heimansweg in Almere, just off the A6 with free parking right outside. Europe's only indoor mountain bike park. And it happens to be right here, in Almere.
From Lelystad you're here in twenty minutes. And we regularly get kids from Zeewolde, Huizen, Hilversum and 't Gooi celebrating here too, because an indoor trail is something you won't find anywhere else.
Afterwards you all pile into the restaurant. Chips with a snack, something to drink, and a chance to wind down (and relive it all) after the action.
There are three packages to choose from, from the basics to the full works with a lesson and an ice lolly to finish. What it costs, how long it runs and everything else you need to know is all on the kids parties page.
From 8, and provided they've already been riding independently and steadily for a few years. That's not a formality but a safety requirement: on the trail a child needs to steer, brake and make an emergency stop under control on their own.
No. What matters most is that they've got solid basic bike skills. Most kids are on a mountain bike for the very first time, and that's absolutely fine. Every party starts with a briefing on the trail and the bike, plus an instructor riding along to guide them.
Then the party goes ahead as planned. Our whole trail is indoors and sheltered, come rain, wind or shine. The weather makes no difference at all.
Yes. That's why you pass on the kids' heights when you book. They get a mountain bike in the right size and a helmet from us. You don't need to bring any kit of your own.
Absolutely. You sit at a picnic table in the middle of the park and watch the kids ride past. No strip-lit canteen, just front-row seats on the trail.
Yes, they can. You can add this option when you book.
Of course. We've got allergen-free options for the chips and snacks. Just let us know what to take into account when you book.
We recommend between 5 and 15 kids per group. The length varies per party. You'll find the options per package and the price per child on the kids parties page.
You are in the middle of a booking. If you close, your selection will be lost.
