Accessibility

The wheelchair entrance is the same as the usual entrance. You will need to be able to be transferred from your wheelchair in order to ride.

In the queue for the ride you will see a sign that reads

' Elke dag rent Prikkebeen
Springend door de velden heen
Vlinders vangen met zijn net
Is zijn allergrootste pret!'

which translates to

' Every dag Prikkebeen runs
Jumping through the fields
Catching butterflies wit his net
Is his greatest Joy!'

In the middle of the carousel a man with a net is featured.
This is Mijnheer Prikkebeen from the verse.
