Playing at Pluis

The Clubmuis

At Familierestaurant Pluis you'll find the Clubmuis: a cosy play area where children can play and explore while their parents sit back with a nice drink. The Clubmuis is in the outbuilding next to the restaurant and backs onto our garden.

Inside the restaurant there's plenty for the very youngest as well, snug and safely in view of mum and dad.

  • A toy kitchen and a little workbench
  • A play mat and chalkboards
  • The Clubmuis in the outbuilding, right next to the garden

Our play areas are meant for free play and are not actively supervised by our staff. We do ask parents to keep an eye on things themselves now and then. That way everyone can enjoy a carefree, cheerful time together at Pluis.
