Whit Monday (Teddy Bear Day)

Monday 9 June

On Whit Monday, the Teddy Bear Express traditionally runs. This day is once again completely dedicated to our young visitors. With a teddy bear they can take the STAR train for free on this day!

Of course a life-size teddy bear will also take the train on this day to greet all the children and their cuddly toys. With all the children’s little teddy bears it is of course also very cozy on the train. Is your teddy bear sick? No problem. The teddy bear doctor will look at your bear and make it better again.

We are going to wake the bears at 10 o’clock. We need your help because the bears are sleeping very soundly, can you help us.

We will pick up the bears at 13:00. They will then be having lunch. If we don’t do that the bears will be much too late.

Extra activities

At the Stadskanaal station there are extra activities. For example, you can go on the bouncy castle, have your face painted or participate in the bear hunt. There is a carriage with all kinds of cuddly toys. And are you very strong? Then you can take a ride on the pump lorry. Show how strong you are. You can also take a ride on a locomotive, you can then join the driver in the wheelhouse. In short, there is plenty to do.
