Our theme park is open from 10am to 6pm every day for the 2010 season. In our theme park, there are many activities and sights that reflect a Netherlands Village from over 100 years ago.

Each year we also add new attractions, some of which are shown below. For this year, we have added Petal Pumper cars pictured below.

Brand new for 2010 - Petal Pumper cars
- Direct to you from KiddieLand
Pump'nGo Cars
Popular Chicago area KiddieLand has closed and one of its best Kiddie rides has come to its new home here at Nelis' Dutch Village.

These self operated Petal Pumper cars are very popular with little kids. Their faces beam as they take control and make their own car go round the track. A great photo opportunity!

"Old Dutch Cheese Making"
cheese making house
The Dutch love their cheese. Over the ages, the Dutch have become well known throughout the world for their high quality cheese. Gouda cheese is a Dutch favorite.

Nelis' Dutch Village, using vintage 19Th century equipment, has recreated a typical farm house cheese making operation producing our own Gouda cheese. From cow's milk to finished cheese wheel, visitors can see it all.
(You don't have to bring your horse).
Cheese Tasting in our cheese shop
Enjoy tasting the famous cheeses of the Netherlands and hearing about their history.
