At Dutch Village, you'll love learning about Holland and Dutch culture. But, when it's time to take a break from learning and have some fun, our classic rides will put smiles on your family's faces. Take a look at the exciting rides included in your admission.
Use Kid Power to race up to the top of the Giant Tulip for an amazing view around the park, and hang on tight for the fall back down! The only place to experience this ride in Michigan is in our theme park, or else at great amusement parks like Dollywood, Silver Dollar City, and Legoland parks.
In celebration of the 2022 100th Anniversary of the Nelis Tulip Farm, we debuted "Tractor Time - Take a tractor Back in Time" 'round a small scale reproduction of the old family tulip farm. We are the only location of this ride in Michigan, and one of very few amusement parks in the U.S.!
Originally designed as a mobile ride as part of a Dutch Street Organ and one of our most popular rides, the chair swing ride is a carousel with suspended seats. On hot days a sprinkler adds some cooling to the fun.
We took one part Ferris Wheel and one part Dutch Windmill, joined them together to make our crowd pleasing new attraction that's drawing riders. Your family will love to experience "Harry's Windmill Ride." This is a blending of a restored 1940 Eli Bridge #5, 45ft high Ferris wheel and a reproduction of the de Grosmolen windmill in Hoogmade, Netherlands. The Ferris wheel looks like it's attached to the windmill and creates the illusion of "riding on the fins of an authentic Dutch windmill" for our happy riders. Come see it for yourself!
Everybody's favorite classic ride. Take a ride on a restored 1924 Herschell-Spillman carousel. Built by one of the biggest names in carousels, you and your family will be delighted by the intricately carved horses.
When popular Chicago area Kiddieland closed we wanted to save one of its best Kiddie rides. The Petal Pumper cars have come to a new home here at Nelis' Dutch Village and children couldn't be happier. These self operated cars are very popular with little kids. Their faces beam as they take control and make their own car go round the track.
Your kids will love riding Plasma Cars on our KinderBaan raceway. These unique pedal-less vehicles harness the natural power of inertia, centrifugal force and friction. It's a great way for your kids to wiggle out some energy at Dutch Village.
We're constantly looking for new rides to add at Dutch Village in Holland, Michigan. Check back often to see what we have planned for next season.
