History
The Duinrell farm in Wassenaar dates as far back as 1646 as part of a large estate. In 1876, Duinrell opened a small port taking in cargo and goods. In 1935 the estate opened to the public with a restaurant and orangery, eventually adding campgrounds, a swimming pool, and developing into a recreational estate.3
On March 31, 2012, Duinrell opened Dragonfly, a Family Coaster 360 model manufactured by Gerstlauer. The 16-metre-tall (52 ft), 360-metre-long (1,180 ft) ride was designed to appeal to a broad age demographic.4
As of 2022, the park is visited by over a million people each year.5
