The following attractions have signed the Healthy Out Ambition to enhance their food offerings:
By committing, these venues pledge to progressively offer healthier options for visitors. Notably, Beekse Bergen has yet to join.
JOGG emphasizes that a healthy future begins with childhood nutrition, even on day trips. Partnering with attractions, they align offerings with the Netherlands Nutrition Centre's Healthier Eating Environments Guidelines. As a parent and nutrition advocate, I appreciate accessible healthy choices alongside occasional treats. While school cafeterias remain a priority, these steps build positive habits.
Family outings like Efteling visits deserve enjoyment—perhaps fries after a thrilling ride or ice cream in Anton Pieckplein. The Gezond Uit website provides attractions with practical inspiration, showcasing how peers implement smaller portions, like at NEMO or GaiaZOO, without compromising appeal. These changes promote mindful choices while maintaining value.
Empowering personal choices is key. Attractions already offer fresh sandwiches with lettuce and wholesome toppings. The Healthy Out Ambition ensures these options shine, fostering guilt-free enjoyment. As families, we benefit from variety that supports long-term health without restricting fun.
