Things to do in Zwolle
An afternoon, evening, or day out in Zwolle? At The Great Escape, you combine escape rooms, outdoor games, and hospitality all in one place in the heart of the Hanseatic city — no need to travel between locations.
Besides museums, cafes, and the Sassenpoort, Zwolle also boasts a growing array of active outings. We are a part of that: five escape rooms of 60–75 minutes with live actors, two 30-minute escapes, four outdoor games through the city centre, kids' parties, and our own Escape Café with platters, walking dinners, and BBQs. On this page, we list all the possibilities so you can quickly choose what suits your group — whether it's a spontaneous outing with friends, a birthday, a family day, or a corporate event. Everything is within walking distance of Zwolle station, with parking garage Diezerpoort just a few minutes' walk away.
