Weekends: St. Nicholas is here!<\/h2>\n
\n

On weekends, Sinterklaas himself is at Muiderslot Castle. He invites all the children to visit his castle and greets everyone personally. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty to do: practice your \u201cPiet\u201d skills, visit St. Nicholas\u2019s gift room and bedroom, come dance at the Piet Disco, meet the circus Pieten, and bake pepernoten. And of course, you can also come pet St. Nicholas\u2019s horse! <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
