What visitors say
Streeckerij De Betuwe offers a delightful experience for families and individuals, particularly during cherry season. Visitors can pick their own cherries straight from the trees, a fun and well-organized activity that many find satisfying. A tractor-pulled train provides transportation to the orchard, adding to the charm, especially for children. Besides cherries, plums are also available.
The facility includes a shop with regional products, including homemade wine and marmalade, and a cafe serving coffee and delicious “kersenflappen” (cherry pastries). There’s ample parking, and the staff are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness. While some found the playground to be closed or in need of maintenance during their visit, it’s generally a welcome feature for families.
While cherry picking is a bit pricey, the overall experience, the atmosphere, and the taste of the fresh fruit make it a worthwhile outing. Some reviewers suggested the toilets weren’t the cleanest. Keep in mind to wear appropriate clothing (long pants and boots). The spot is easily accessible from the highway and is well-equipped for visitors, making it a recommended destination for a unique and enjoyable day out in the Betuwe region.
