Water & Amusement Parks
Plopsa Indoor Coevorden is a delightful indoor and outdoor theme park designed especially for young children, making it an ideal destination for families. Nestled in the vibrant world of Studio 100, this enchanting amusement park features over 25 attractions that are sure to captivate little adventurers aged between 2 and 8. Whether it's a rainy day or sunny weather, Plopsa Indoor Coevorden offers plenty of fun activities to keep kids entertained.
Because of the free entry price we had to take a look. It was a lot of fun. Not to big but fun rides! We spend 30 euro on food and drinks plus 20 euro on a rides card. (15 credits)
Ron S — Google review
Today was not too busy, and there was no waiting time. The toilet was exceptionally clean. However, I believe the one in Antwerp is even better. The staff members were friendly. Considering the cost, I recommend bringing your drinks because it can be quite expensive. We paid nearly €5 for just a can of Minute Maid Jus’d Orange! As for food prices, they typically range from €13 to €14. Anyway, the park outside is closed without any notifications on the website, so be careful if you expect this.
Nok W — Google review
I don’t even know where to start. This indoor playground is a total disappointment. For the price, I expected my kids to have at least half a day’s worth of fun – but after an hour or two, they were completely bored. And not because they ran out of energy, but because there’s simply nothing to do. The play area is ridiculously small, and for that kind of money, I could have just thrown some pillows on the living room floor and let the kids jump over them. It would have been cheaper and probably just as entertaining. But fine, you think, “Maybe the staff makes up for it with some friendliness.” Wrong! The employees were not only unfriendly but also constantly missing. If you want to use one of the attractions, you first have to hunt someone down – and even when you do, it takes forever for them to actually come back. 30 minutes of waiting with an impatient child? An absolute dream! My verdict: If you enjoy throwing your money out the window, this is the place for you. Everyone else should save themselves the frustration and spend their hard-earned cash somewhere else.
Michael S — Google review
A good place to visit with your family especially if you have young children . It was a little bit expensive the tickets but I can understand that because it is a closed protected space from rain and bad weather the prices are little higher than the normal.
Βαγγελης Γ — Google review
Great place to go with small kids. Good to go on rain days because it has a lot of indoor intertainment. But on sunny days also has nice activities outdoor.
Sandra E — Google review
The ticketing system needs reconsideration, checking people’s ticket on each ride doesn’t scale well and makes everything take longer than it should and it’s hard to guess how many tickets to get in advance if you haven’t been here before. There’s also mixed signals on whether you are allowed to picnic inside: the website says yes, so we brought some things and inside it’s zero tolerance policy? Super unfriendly and confusing. The prices for food and drinks are too high. The place is also kind of loud.
Juan G — Google review
The place is only ok, not great, in all aspects, the negatives many others already mentioned. One thing in particular that it seems unnecessary for a family oriented place: you cannot exchange the wrist ticket between parents which is ridiculous imo, meaning one parent is designated for all activities to assist your child, which is just shameful imo.
Testphi H — Google review
Really great indoor themepark specialized in younger kids. Many 'thrillrides'for kids and fun activities. The park has plenty of parkingspace, and many special offers for tickets. Can recommend on rainy days

No so big museum. The Rijksmuseum Twenthe in Enschede, the Netherlands, was founded by textile industry Baron Jan Bernard Van Heek. He donated his own private collection and the museum building to the government. So thus making it a national museum. I am so happy to see hear 3 paintings of Peter Briegell. There are some contemporary exhibitions. I love the exhibition of contemporary artist Weidmuller.

Wonderful museum! Several cool exhibitions (and absolutely different in terms of info/energy/visual content). Beautiful cafe (with a very good coffee and a very appealing cakes). Just one little thing that I didn’t like (but museum can’t do anything about it, of course) - quite an expensive parking fee nearby.
Ninena G — Google review
I visited the Rijksmuseum Twenthe with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t full at all. The entry is free for Students which is great! There are a lot if beautiful paintings and different kinds of modern art. We really enjoyed our visit and especially liked the 10 meters of sound, lavender carpet and most of the paintings.

Beautiful, well-kept gardens. The lady at the front desk was really nice and willing to explain anything. You are provided a map at the start which allows you to plan your own route. I especially liked the 'temple' on top of 'het bergje'.

Nestled in the charming town of Winterswijk, Villa Mondriaan is a delightful museum that celebrates the early life and artistic journey of the iconic painter Piet Mondrian. This villa, where he spent his formative years from 1880 to 1892, showcases an impressive collection of his youthful masterpieces alongside works by both established and contemporary artists. Visitors can explore not only Mondrian's early paintings but also enjoy engaging films and temporary exhibitions that highlight various art forms.
A superb museum about Piet Mondriaan, who spent his early years in Winterswijk, in the villa he lived in. Small, but packed with his early paintings, films, but none of the later cubist style. There is a café and shop, also temporary exhibitions. Helpful staff, and right in the centre of this busy but still quaint town.

Piet Mondriaan, nowadays a worldwide renowned and admired artist 👩‍🎨 spent his youth (1880 to 1892) in his parental home on Zonnebrink 4 in Winterswijk. His father had acquired a position as the Director of the School of Christian National Instruction and lived with his family in the villa directly next to the school building. Piet’s father and uncle Frits Mondriaan taught Piet basic knowledge on drawing and painting.

Whether you're an art lover or simply curious about Mondriaan’s journey, this museum offers a personal and intimate experience that’s well worth the visit. Highly recommended ! The exhibitions are thoughtfully curated, and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, adding depth to the visit with their insights. The museum café was a delightful surprise—don’t miss the Mondriaan-themed cupcakes and complimentary coffee!
Lia R — Google review
I had the honour to document Michelle Son's installation here. It is a small scale museum, that part of it is dedicated to the life of young Mondriaan that used to come to this family house and draw from nature. The program is diverse and interesting!

Ruurlo Castle is a restored 14th-century island castle located on a lake within picturesque gardens. The castle showcases the art of renowned artist Karel Willink across multiple floors and boasts beautifully maintained grounds with lush green fields, trees, and bushes that offer privacy. Visitors can enjoy a quaint cafe near the entrance and explore the small yet impressive art collection dedicated to realism from More museum, which was added during the 2017 restoration.
Castle was restored at 2017 and now hosts part of art collection devoted to realism from More museum. The collection is small but nice. Reserve up to 1 hour for the museum. The interiors of the castle are nicely renovated with the wood paneling and tapestry. The pattern of hardwood floors repeats the pattern on the ceiling. The parking is free, but the place is popular, so parking is full on the weekends. The restaurant in the Orangery is nice and staff is very helpful.

Ruurlo Castle is a place where history meets art and nature. As you approach, you are greeted by a picturesque view: well-kept alleys, ponds with water lilies, and a historic park that’s perfect for a stroll before or after visiting the museum. The grounds are meticulously maintained – colorful flower beds, neatly trimmed lawns, and quiet spots where you can sit on a bench and soak in the atmosphere. The castle itself is impressive with its elegant towers, symmetrical facades, and large windows reflecting in the surrounding water. Inside, you’ll find a museum dedicated to the works of Carel Willink – showcasing paintings, drawings, sculptures, and even some personal belongings of the artist. The exhibition is thoughtfully arranged, blending seamlessly with the historic interiors and creating an intriguing contrast between the old and the contemporary. In addition to the main collection, the castle often hosts temporary exhibitions and cultural events. The on-site café offers coffee with a beautiful view of the park, and the gift shop sells books, postcards, and souvenirs related to art and the castle’s history. This is an ideal place for a peaceful day filled with beauty and inspiration. Even if you’re not an avid art lover, the walk around the grounds and the chance to admire the castle’s architecture will leave you with lasting memories.

A nice castle, beautiful collection of Willinks work. But you're done in about an hour or so. You can have a small cup of coffee for a large price at the orangerie. The garden is lovely and well tended, but also seen in half an hour or less when it isn't too busy. The place is nice and beautiful to visit, but I expected a bit more. Maybe I should have taken the tour..

Boat rental service
Located in a charming village, 't Zwaantje Botenverhuur Rondvaart bedrijf Restaurant offers an authentic Italian dining experience. The boat tour lasts about an hour and provides a mix of canal and lake views. While the windy lake portion may require some warm clothing, the nearby café offers a cozy spot to enjoy drinks and food. Renting a boat allows for leisurely exploration of the well-maintained village and picturesque canal-side houses.
If you’re visiting the charming village of Giethoorn in the Netherlands, don’t miss the chance to experience Zwaantje Giethoorn Botenverhuur. This beautiful spot is famous for its peaceful canals, traditional thatched-roof houses, and lush green surroundings. One of the best ways to explore the area is by renting a boat or taking a relaxing trip along the water. During my visit, I also tried renting a bicycle, and it was truly a memorable experience. The cycling paths around Giethoorn are well-maintained, offering stunning views of the countryside, picturesque bridges, and serene lakes. What makes it even better is that you don’t need to book your bike in advance — it’s easy to find available bikes on the spot. The prices for both boat and bike rentals are very reasonable, making it a perfect activity for families, couples, or solo travelers. I highly recommend adding this destination to your travel list if you’re looking for a quiet and beautiful place to relax in the heart of nature.

Visiting Giethoorn was like stepping into a fairy tale! 🌿✨ Just a couple of hours from Amsterdam, this charming village is filled with peaceful canals, quaint wooden bridges, and beautiful thatched-roof cottages. We had our brunch at ’t Zwaantje Restaurant before starting our stroll around the village — the views were absolutely stunning and incredibly relaxing. There are also plenty of cozy cafés and canal-side restaurants, perfect for enjoying a coffee or some Dutch pancakes with a view. If you’re visiting Amsterdam, I highly recommend taking a day trip to Giethoorn — it’s calm, picturesque, and truly a hidden gem! 🚤🌸

Parking is 7.50E but you get a credit in your boat or tour price. I took the tour 10E per person. I went early so there weren’t very many people on the canals. Such beauty scenery. A must do!

We hired a boat for ourselves here, and it was easy to ride the boat. Price was 50€ for 2 hours ride. We went around the place in blue line and it took around 2 hours to complete the ride. We took so many photos while going. Village is maintained beautifully and house along the canal are a sight to watch. Plan to book a boat early else you might to wait for a while line to get a boat during peak times and weekends.

Worst experience! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 The old blonde tall lady working is very rude. First of all, We paid for a boat with a table in the middle and were given one without and we said nothing. We were so excited to try the boat tour with this company but unfortunately we were given a broken boat which went extremely slow. At the beginning the water was so crowded we didn’t notice the problem with the boat but once it was less crowded we noticed it but didn’t realize the problem until later. We then got lost in the route and called them for help regarding the speed of the boat they didn’t even bother sending someone to help us. They said we had to clean the engine which is definitely not our job (the hand has to be put into the dirty water and trash be taken out of the engine). Anyways, when we got back, 1:30 hours late, we tried explaining to them the problem but the woman in the ticketing office was so rude she didn’t even want to listen to us. All she did was blame us for getting lost (which we take responsibility for), but she was not willing to take responsibility for the broken engine and slow boat which were broken from the very beginning.

They have good quality boats including long boats with mouthpiece to guide a big group of. The people there were young, energetic, knowledgeable and smiling. They are just next to parking 3. They have their own private parking space. Since this is outside of the central part, less congested. There is a nice restaurant from where you can take food inside the boat and enjoy while riding through the canal. Washroom is free and clean, can accommodate big groups without any trouble.

The museum features an international art collection and offers panoramic views from its rooftop terrace. Visitors can also explore the historic city center of Zwolle, climb the Sassenpoort for stunning views, and visit Kasteel Het Nijenhuis with its beautiful gardens and sculptures.
Building is special, but inside just normal museum. Nice special exhibition during our visit.

During a recent visit to Zwolle, we had the chance to explore Museum de Fundatie, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. The first thing that struck us was the building itself—it’s truly a work of art. The combination of the historic neoclassical base with the ultra-modern “cloud” structure on top is fascinating. It’s not just a museum; it’s an architectural masterpiece that demands your attention even before you step inside. Once inside, the museum didn’t disappoint. The collection is diverse, featuring everything from classic to contemporary art, and every piece seemed to tell a story. We were particularly drawn to some of the modern installations, which felt both thought-provoking and playful. The way the exhibits were curated made it easy to move between different styles and eras while still feeling cohesive. One of our favorite moments was enjoying the view from the “cloud” section at the top. The large windows offer stunning panoramic views of Zwolle, adding an extra layer of magic to the visit. It’s the kind of place where you could easily spend hours just soaking it all in. Museum de Fundatie is not just about the art—it’s the entire experience. The combination of innovative design, compelling exhibitions, and the serene ambiance makes it a must-visit destination. We left feeling inspired and eager to return one day. If you’re in Zwolle, this is a place you simply cannot miss.

Very nice local museum situated in the center of the inner city/ring. Excellent permanent collection and rotating collections. A museum card makes this and many other museums very affordable.

Lovely museum with great collection of portraits and landscapes from the Dutch Golden Age till modern days. They host regular temporary exhibitions of modern art that nicely compliment permanent collection. The museum is friendly to people with disabilities. The staff is doing fantastic job for arranging expositions and highlighting info about artists. Reserve 1.5 -2 hours for visiting. Do not forget to climb at the top floor. There is nice view over Zwolle and cosy cafe.

Very nice museum with lovely staff. I love that you don't need a euro for the lockers because i so rarely carry cash and don't have to worry about where to put my winter coat! bathrooms on every floor is also great (and the soap smells good). Just wish the museum shop carried more items based on the exhibition :) thanks!

What an awesome experience. I can definitely recommend this Art Museum. There is a lot to see and if you keep walking up the stairs there is a little cafe where you can grab a coffee and relax. The town of Zwolle is also really nice so definitely a nice day trip no matter where in the Netherlands you are from
Cameron W — Google review
Really nice museum for a quick and inspiring visit. I’d strongly recommend that you start from the 4th floor taking the elevator at the lobby and then make your way down from the “Leiko Ikemura” expositions to the “ex- change proto” and finally to “Guillaume”. I spent about an hour here and read almost all room descriptions. There are also guided tours, I believe those should be booked in advanced. The day that I went it was not crowded, but that was a bit unusual. If you have the Museumkaart you can access for free. Unfortunately the day that I was there the cafe was closed.

MORE Museum, located in Gorssel, Netherlands, is a specialized museum showcasing modern realist paintings primarily by Dutch artists. The museum offers a captivating display of paintings and exhibits that evoke a range of emotions with their unbelievable realism. While the location may not be very convenient for some, visitors find the experience to be entirely worth it. The museum also accommodates families with young children, providing a quiet and elegant atmosphere that allows for an enjoyable visit even with infants.
Great place, lots of spaces exhibition rooms. Perfect restaurant with pleasant staff. Accessible for all. Located interesting area.
John K — Google review
Museum MORE has become one of my family’s favorite museums in the region, and this was our second visit within a year! Even though the scale of the museum is relatively small, but it has a very tasteful permanent collection, accompanied by interesting, thought-provoking exhibitions all year round. Since we have a 6-year-old, we always pay particular attention to how a museum caters to children and try to get them involved in the art world. Museum MORE has a dedicated, beautiful space just for children visitors to be artsy and creative. They also provide guides, fun activities, ample coloring pencils and clipboards, encouraging and guiding the children to explore the museum space at their own pace and according to their own interest. Besides its exquisite art collection, the beautiful architecture itself, both exterior and interior, also deserves to be mentioned. There’s something magical about the way light floods in through those huge glass windows and ceiling, making the whole space feel open, bright, and full of life. The museum shop near the entrance also has a very good selection of books and all kinds of items for audience of all ages. If you are a modern/contemporary art lover and happens to be in or around Gorssel, it’s definitely worth your while to check this place out!

Great museum in the small town of Gorssel. The permanent collection didn't inspire me too much. Some interesting works were on display.

This moated castle boasts tastefully landscaped gardens and an impressive collection of medieval art, including early Italian paintings and rare handwritten manuscripts.

Stumbled upon this by chance, really glad we did,it’s a lovely slice of history and one man’s vision and collection of medieval art and artefacts. Included in the price is a guided tour of the tower which is certainly worth the climb up the narrow stairs.

Very nice town and castle to visit. One of the oldest in The Netherlands. Very interesting history, especially for people interested in old coins, as it used to be owned by the family that also ran the local Mint, which is across the street. Also the place where a witch was condemned to death in the Middle Ages, which was a rare event in The Netherlands. From here it is a short drive to where the Rhine River enters The Netherlands. Worth a visit. Oh, and did I mention they brew their own beers there? Worth a try!

Paleis Het Loo is a 17th-century palace and garden that offers guided tours of the royal apartments and houses a notable art collection. It's a massive complex that provides insight into the Dutch Royal Family, featuring an excellent cafe and a fun kids playground. The surrounding area also includes Apenheul, an ape zoo, as well as beautiful parks with stately villa neighborhoods and access to the Veluwe forest.
We visited this palace over the weekend, what a pleasant surprise! A beautiful palace, it tells a lot about the history of the kings of Holland, about the architecture. A very well preserved palace, the view from the top of the garden is a sight to behold. We loved everything, one of the best palaces we have ever visited.

Nice to see inside what furniture and style is in every room. Gardens are nice. But comparing to some other palaces and castles this one is not my top. But it is nice. What I loved is a restaurant inside where they have high tea, really nice design. And nice terrace outdoor. Plus they have some activities like archery or some other games that make you feel like you travel back in time.

The graden at the Palace is super cool. There are different types of plants, labelled. A lot of mini activities for kids for example archery. Coming to palace itself, it was pretty awesome. A lot of rooms to explore, though some of the floors are not meant for visitors. The roof is accessible as well via a lift - and there can be queues at the lift. Outside the palace, at the initial entrance, there are some historical artifacts to explore as well like the cars driven by the Royals and other stuff. Would like to complement the staff, who are really nice and approachable.

Nationaal Park Veluwezoom

Mentioned on

National park
Outdoor Activities
Nationaal Park Veluwezoom is a forested parkland that offers activities such as horseback riding, hiking, and wildlife spotting. The park features steep inclines and descents, making it a challenging yet rewarding destination for cyclists. Visitors can encounter freely roaming horses and Highland cattle during their explorations. The park's picturesque scenery includes blooming heather flowers along the purple/magenta route, with a cozy café conveniently located halfway for a refreshing break.
One hike is guided by the purple sign. It starts at the tourist information (parking and food service) and meanders up and down through the heath to Posbank (parking and food service) and back in a loop. Another hike is perfectly guided by the red sign. It starts at Posbank and leads you mainly through forest and fern to a very nice place to rest, eat, and drink (De Carolinahoeve). The hike takes you back in a loop, and there are also great views of the heath landscape. All the trails are perfectly marked by posts along the way. There is a post that shows the direction before you even start to think where to go. Unfortunately, dogs are allowed and even with leash they come too close.
Frank P — Google review
The heather fields were beautiful, even though by the end of August they were starting to fade. For the best vibrant purple views, I’d recommend visiting in mid-August. The cycling paths through the area make it a great way to enjoy the scenery. We rented bikes online once we arrive there (highly recommended during peak season). Our route was 53 → 66 → 69 → 25 → back to 53. The regular bikes were smooth, while the tandem bike was fun but a bit challenging at times since the gear setup wasn’t very efficient. Still, it was a great experience overall.

My visit to Nationaal Park Veluwezoom yesterday was fantastic. The weather was perfect, which made the stunning purple flowers even more vibrant and beautiful. The scenery is truly breathtaking and a great escape into nature. ​The only challenge we encountered was the hiking trails themselves. The markings aren't always very clear, so you might find yourself needing to find your own path at times. However, this also adds a sense of adventure to the experience! ​Overall, it's a wonderful park for anyone who wants to enjoy some natural beauty and doesn't mind a little bit of off-the-beaten-path exploration.

A highly recommended place! If you are in the vicinity, don't miss it. Or if you can, plan and visit this national park. You can spend an afternoon, or even a full day here. I have visited this place in all four seasons, and it is always beautiful. You can choose different routes and walk 5, 10, or 15 kilometres. It is also a great place for biking, with plenty of climbing opportunities, which is unusual for the Netherlands. This is one of the places in the Netherlands that is unique in its landscape. Sometimes, it can be quite crowded, but not to the point where you will be annoyed. There is a parking spot at the beginning of your route, as well as a small museum (mainly for kids) and a restaurant where you can eat. There are several restaurants in the surrounding area. Additionally, there are several playgrounds for kids of all ages.

Koninklijk Tehuis voor Oud-militairen en Museum Bronbeek is a former royal palace turned museum located in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The museum focuses on Dutch East Indies colonial history and features exhibits such as cannons, soldiers' uniforms, weaponry, and military equipment. Additionally, it serves as a home for elderly soldiers and commemorates a special time period of Indian history. The stunning building is surrounded by parkland and offers an amazing location for activities like mountain biking.
Bronbeek Museum is located in a former royal palace built in the early 19th century. In 1845, King William III expanded the palace and donated it to the Dutch state in 1859. The museum was opened to the public in 1966. It has a permanent exhibition on the history of the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL), which was the Dutch colonial army in Indonesia. The artifact storage is very neat and well-documented. In addition to the permanent exhibition, there are also temporary exhibitions. The route to the Bronbeek Museum can be reached by train from Arnhem Central Station to Arnhem Presikhaaf Station. From Arnhem Presikhaaf Station, you can walk to the Bronbeek Museum. Besides the train, you can also take bus number 103 from Arnhem Central Station to the Bronbeek Museum.

Great museum of the Dutch colonial history. As an Indonesian, it is interesting to see our shared history through the Dutch's perspective. Stories in the museum are delivered in a concise, informative way year-by-year. I highly recommend this place, especially to fellow Indonesians! Ticket prices are also considered not expensive (especially if you have a museum kaart ;) ). After you explore the museum, consider to explore the surrounding park to see some commemoration monuments.

Leorelis V — Google review
Interesting Museum run by the Dutch Ministry of Defence covering their colonial history, mainly focusing on Indonesia. Presents a balanced view of history and does not attempt to justify or make an apology for colonialism. Although similarly it does not take extensive measures to frame dutch actions as wholely bad which is also understandable. Of note, they do state the high cost in human lives but leave the moral implications up to the visitors to decide which is an adequate step. Overall a very interesting experience even if you have prior knowledge on the history since the narrative presented is different but not insulting. Exhibits within the museum have English captions so dont be put off by the lack of English in the outdoors areas. Although getting the captions for them in English is a bit clunky since you'll need to carry around a information book which are on stands around the museum.

Museum with a parachute-shaped venue & exhibits on the liberation of the Netherlands in WWII.
Highly recommend a visit to this museum which gets you thinking & discussing with companions the parallels of 80-90 year ago with today. I particularly like this format, rather than traipsing round looking at objects, you find yourself drawn into the stories behind them & think of how today, images & words can be used to sell a narrative. The staff are superb, extremely helpful & provide an insight to the experience before you begin your visit. One of our party is disabled & he was offered the use of a wheelchair for the trip. A visit here should certainly be on your itinerary, your brain will thank you for its Spring Clean.

If you are at all interested in world war 2 and operation Market Garden then this museum is a most see. What was really impressive, and even slightly scary, was sitting in the replica bomb shelter listening to a bombing raid directly overhead.

For the real enthusiastic world war 2 visitor, I would recommend combining this visit to the airborne museum, another exceptional museum, just outside Arnhem

Took the jeep tour around the 82nd landing zones, then went on to visit the Reichwold Forest. Also interested in the Market Garden related exhibits, all in all a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

Very informative and nice museum. You can see how much effort they put into this museum. Highly recommend this.

The Freedom Museum explains very well the causes, conflict and outcome of World War Two with a particular focus on Operation Market Garden. The events of the Paratrooper landing and battles which ensued, as well as the civilian experience of war and resistance are very well exhibited. The array of items and audio visual experiences I saw are some of the best I've seen from a war museum. For only 8 euros as a student and a WW2 reader, it was money very well spent. Special thanks to the Stagg and their expertise and passion for keeping the museum's message of liberation alive.

Very beautiful building. With lots of storytelling about the wars in Europe with videos, well-made life like mannequin, and a bunker for the look and feel. Will recommend a visit. Had a canteen and parking

Overloon War Museum

War museum

Military Museums
The Overloon War Museum, also known as Oorlogsmuseum Overloon, is a significant museum in the Netherlands dedicated to World War II history. It boasts an extensive collection of military vehicles and weapons, including a German Panther tank that participated in the local battle of Overloon. As one of Europe's oldest WWII museums, it offers a tangible experience for visitors to learn about the war's impact on the Netherlands.
Mainly came here to see the tanks , but it's a very big museum that it would take almost all day to look at everything . I recommend arriving when it opens. Parking next to museum has a good capacity and is free. There's an exhibition about WW2 in the Netherlands and about people who lived during the war in Netherlands + WW2 info. What I really liked was the D-Dex exhibition, it's like a simulation where you could be an American soldier and land in the beaches. I have only a few problems with this simulation... When you're waiting for it to start outside, and you put English, it simply doesn't work. It's still in dutch + add more water, because I could easily pass the water sprinklers and not get wet :) in mostly some of the parts of the museum, it's either in dutch or German. . . But if I'm sure there was an audio guide on their website for the English. Edit: Thanks for the response! When I was waiting for the D-Dex version in English, it had the British flag, so I went in and it was still in dutch. Personally I don't think it's a big problem since there was more English than dutch, but I still liked my experience here!

The hilly park allows guests to walk among the animals and even participate in feeding sessions. The zoo features a well-thought-out layout with spacious paths surrounded by lush greenery, creating a natural habitat for the animals.

What a lovely zoo! It felt very safe for the animals with visitors walking through their enclosures and plenty of places for them to hide away if they want to. Lots of lovely vegetation making it feel very natural. We spent nearly five hours here walking around as a family. Would recommend for a family day out.

Very nice zoo to spend a day. There are 2 places with a bigger playgrounds where kids can unwind. (Start and about half way along the route) They also have different expositions from time to time. I went to see the dinosaur and ice age onces. I preferred the dinosaur one but both are nice and a good variety to the animals running around. The animals all look very healthy and have nice enclosures. They are also in the proces of expanding with even more and better enclosures for their animals.

Wonderful family experience!! Such a variety of animals in the most natural environment for each species I have even seen!! There is opportunity to buy a day pass to be the "zoo-keeper of the day", so you go around the animals, feeding and taking care of them, while learning more about them. Unique experience!! Fully worth visiting!

The red Pandas!!!!!! OMG, I could have watched them all day. This zoo is an absolute hidden gem. Relaxed, and easily accessible with a beautiful selection of fascinating animals. Some of which I literally never knew existed, penciltail pigs! And some wonderful spider monkeys, plus oooohhh the Brazzameercat..it was awesome.
Stephanie P — Google review
General score out of 10: 9️⃣ If you want a different zoo experience from the usual this might be it. ✅ Zoo design. It has been designed to help visitors see all the animals and experience the entire zoo by following the route from start to finish. + You don't get lost. + You don't miss any animals or attractions. + Makes for a great experience. ✅The first zoo I have experienced with zoo guides who talk about the animals for those interested. I particularly enjoyed my encounter with the guide at the kangaroos. ✅ Several Adventure paths have been placed along the route. This keeps the whole visit much more fun for kids. + Our three kids 8,6, and 4 didn't complain about tiredness the whole time. ✅There are some animals you won't find at any other zoo. Eg: Dwarf hippopotamus, Okapi, most lions I have seen in one zoo(5),etc. ✅ Suitable for wheelchairs and prams/strollers. ✅ Washrooms for all groups including wheelchair, old, baby changing, parking place for stroller or pram. Definitely a plus. ✅ The biggest playground is at the end of the route. If you have kids they won't want to skip it so have enough time for that part too😊. ✅ Soft icecream at the shop by the trampoline is really good but it too big. You may want to share with the kids instead of getting one for everyone to avoid throwing them away after having too much. + Suggested they make child portions. ➕✅Tip: Check "vakantie veilingen" to find the best discounts on tickets.

A nice and well maintaned open air Zoo with a lot of different animals to see. Setup is in different zones to seperate the type of animals and habitat. Make sure to pick a dry and sunny day, it is all open air. It big enough for spend half a day. Downside; rediculous prices for food and snacks. $12 for a simple small burger and $7 for a few fries is outrageous!

The Mondriaan House

Mentioned on

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Mondriaan House, located in Amersfoort, Netherlands, is a modern museum dedicated to the life and works of the renowned Dutch artist Piet Mondriaan. Situated in the very building where Mondriaan was born in 1872, this museum offers a comprehensive exploration of his artistic journey. Visitors can immerse themselves in his early realistic pieces as well as his later groundbreaking abstract compositions that transformed modern art.
This is a small and lovely museum. It should be noted that this museum is focused on the biography and life of Mondrian rather than his art. There are only a handful of his artworks on display. I really enjoyed the light show between rooms 8 and 9 — don't miss it! Also, the Mondriaan Café is very cozy
Xu — Google review
A wonderful museum in the artist's hometown. Visitors can admire many of his early works, along with personal belongings and a faithful reconstruction of his Paris studio. The highlight, however, was the final room, where you could create your own inspired pieces using LEGO, paper cutouts, and paints - a playful way to channel the creativity sparked by everything you had just seen.
Nikolas H — Google review
Mondrian House offers an immersive experience of Piet's life and the evolution of his creativity. The 'birthplace' is purely a brick shell that houses a very white angular interior with glass roof voids. The art collection featuring original Mondriaan works is limited to one room, however the life story is elaborately reconstructed. Really engaging for kids.
Donna M — Google review
The only downside of this museum is that there aren’t that many Mondrian works - though there are some totally unexpected ones! The exhibition itself is fascinating, with great storytelling, a stunning installation in one of the last rooms, and plenty of space for kids’ creativity - including a fun museum quest and a whole room for arts and crafts.
Olga D — Google review
There are barely any painting from Mondriaan, and there is only one room that recreates his apartment in Paris. Had I paid the entrance fee instead of using my museum kaart, I would have felt ripped off. I spent about 45 minutes and I read and saw most of the descriptions and videos.
Diego A — Google review
A really nice visit — small and cute museum that gives a great retrospective of Mondriaan’s life and work. There are always small guest exhibitions and some activities for children at the end, which is a fun addition. I especially enjoyed the surprise projection at the end. Just keep in mind there are no original artworks, so the whole experience takes about 20–30 minutes. Still well worth the stop!
Miguel H — Google review
A very nice place. The curators found a very creative and engaging way to tell about Mondrian's life and artistic style and its evolution. Great example of how you can make a place interesting without any major art works. 100% worth visiting if you are in the area.

A very small museum showcasing the personal history of Mondriaan. I don't recommend more than one hour. For museum card it's free entry so it's doable, but paying full price is not a very good idea.

Really cool museum. Not very big, still a great collection of classic and modern vehicles. From tanks, fireman trucks, trucks and more. The kids love it because they can go inside of them and "play and drive". You can eat in the restaurant. There are clean toilets and a wardrobe. The different ambients are super well done. It is included in the museum card. Commuting by car with external paid parking, bus stops nearby or by foot.

Modern art museum
Located in the Stratumseind district of Eindhoven, the Van Abbemuseum is a renowned institution for modern and contemporary art. Since its establishment in 1936, it has undergone significant renovations, including a futuristic extension surrounded by a moat. The museum's extensive collection features works by prominent artists such as Picasso, Mondrian, Chagall, and El Lissitzky. Visitors can explore a diverse range of contemporary art from both Dutch and international artists through ever-changing temporary exhibitions.
It’s a very nice museum. It’s mainly focused on abstract art, which I usually dislike a lot, but many parts of the exhibition took me by heart. The architecture of the building is also amazing, with nice balconies to observe the river. In some places, you can see 4-5 floors below, which is not the best option if you’re afraid of heights. This is the most memorable museum when it comes to feelings that it provoked.

A compact but world-class spot for modern and contemporary art. I spent just over an hour with the “Hidden Connections” exhibition—sharp curatorial storytelling and clear English labels—then cooled off in the quiet atrium café. Friendly staff, lockers for backpacks, and plenty of seating make it an easy yes if you’re in Eindhoven.

Nothing spectacular. The museum itself is nicely organized and decorated, but the exhibits are underwhelming. It mainly focuses on the exploitation of Indonesians by the Dutch, showcasing how industrialists used cheap labor. Other than that, there were videos that were uninteresting and looked unprofessional. The best feature was the images accompanied by scented papers, with the smells representing the atmosphere of each picture.

I love this museum the curation is on point. I was very impressed not only with their selection of art, but also their attempt to stay ecologically friendly by locally souring the art supplies. And mostly for taking responsibility about how H van Abbe got rich on the tobacco industry regarding the Netherlands dark past in regard to indentured servitude and colonialism. Very thought provoking pieces and multicultural artist as well as young artist aswell! Not to mention how inclusive the museum is to wheelchairs, and including sensory version of art pieces! Bathrooms are non-gendered and clean 🎉

This place is the best museum I have ever been so far. I strongly recommend you to visit if you’re interested. A must see place for especially architects! The artwork appeals to the 5 senses of human body and tries to create new ones. I am not even talking about the location of the building where the water beats the exterior walls. Popped up glass niches coming out of interiors literally made my day :)

A great museum to learn about history of Philips and its connection to Eindhoven region. I liked the history of lights part. For kids there is a nice workshop upstairs Recently they also have added a section on AI and its impact on society.

Nevertheless overall definitely worth a visit.

Art center
The Jheronimus Bosch Art Center in Den Bosch, The Netherlands, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the world of the famous medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch. Born and raised in Den Bosch, he is celebrated as the city's most famous son. The center showcases life-size reproductions of all his paintings and blow-ups of his diabolic creatures, providing an immersive experience into his dark and enigmatic works.
This new museum dedicated to Jeroen Bosch is great. You can go all the way to the top of the rotunda by elevator or stairs and see for miles around. Many displays and exact replicas of his art work. Plenty of space to move around. Nice restrooms. Gift shop with reasonable prices for unique items. No food/drink for sale.

This museum is full of surprises. I enjoyed the modern approach on Jheronimus Bosch's artworks and the guide book helped me understand his work better.

Take all the time you need, warm clothes (because it's really cold inside) and some friends and enjoy the astronomical clock presentation, as well. 😊

Extraordinary art experience! Before visiting the museum I didn't know much about the work of Jheronimus Bosch and I was completely blown away by what I saw. The exhibited works are reproductions, but this does not diminish the artistic experience. By entering the museum, you enter a fantastic world that inspires artists to this day. In addition to the work of Jheronimous Bosch, there are also paintings by artists inspired by his work. Also, the world in which the artist created in a very convincing way was revived in the basement of the church. Gallery it self is former Neo-Gothic church where sacred meets surreal. The high ceilings and stained-glass windows set the stage for a journey not just through art, but into Bosch's imagination.  Climb the bell tower for a panoramic view of the town Bosch once walked—unchanged in many ways since his time. Tickets can be purchased at the entrance and cost €12 per person. It is paid exclusively by cards. The ticket comes with a brochure which is very helpful to experience the exhibited works. There is also a guide in the gallery who occasionally explains about individual exhibits.

Nice large guide book provided in Dutch and English. The paintings are reproductions but overall good quality. You can take the elevator to the top of the tower for a panoramic look at the city, although there are windows preventing you from going on the balcony and they were a little bit dirty so that would affect photographs.

Sights & Landmarks
St. John's Cathedral, located in the heart of Den Bosch, is a magnificent example of Brabant Gothic architecture dating back to the 14th century. This massive cathedral features a soaring 73-meter-tall spire and is renowned as one of the most complete examples of Gothic architecture in the Netherlands. The intricate details adorning its walls include medieval artifacts as well as modern additions like a stone angel statue holding a mobile phone.
It’s one of the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve visit so far. From the front, you can’t really see it’s beauty and the gothic architecture. So I recommend to take a walk around the church to see its real potential haha :) and the beautiful architecture and paintings from inside, are just breathtaking. I visited the church on monday, it wasn’t crowded. The entrance is completely free, and there was an art gallery inside.

The Noordbrabants Museum is a contemporary museum that showcases a diverse collection of objects related to regional and international history, culture, and art. Established since 1836, the museum houses approximately 30,000 individual items including paintings by Vincent van Gogh and silverware from the 17th century. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions featuring work by contemporary artists.
There is a temporary exhibition called “Landscape of the fall”, by Abdelkader Benchamma. Very beautiful art with creative ideas using lines, and very intelligent idea using the huge space on the wall linking to old paintings from Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel. By this exhibition itself it is already worthwhile to visit. The museum has other long term exhibitions that are also Interesting. One room specially for Van Gogh. I also like some of the still life oil paintings. The historical parts are also interesting, although we ran out of time to observe the details. I am impressed that there were bronze swords from 1800 BC found in north Brabant area.

The Noordbrabants Museum is a really cool place to visit. I love how they mix traditional art with more modern and unexpected historical pieces. One of the things that stood out to me was seeing items that were part of everyday life not too long ago but are now considered history—like the first Apple computer. It’s fascinating to see how things evolve over time. The museum also has an impressive collection of paintings, including works by Van Gogh, Picasso, and other great artists. Walking through the galleries, I felt like I was experiencing both classic masterpieces and surprising bits of modern history all in one place. It’s definitely a museum worth visiting!

A beautiful Dutch museum. There is a hall telling the history of the museum, some historic work and a lot of modern works. There was also a performance in the museum when I visited it. I enjoyed the visit a lot. Thanks a lot to the very friendly people working there.

Excellent museum, and a must-go-to if one is in Den Bosch. They have special exhibits every month or so, which I don’t usually care for; but the permanent collection is incredible and alone a reason to visit. The building is beautiful; it is like an old mansion, with gorgeous rooms to hold the still more gorgeous art. One could spend hours here. There is a cafe as well, which has delicious donuts from the famous Jan de Groot cafe. Eating them here has the added bonus that one does not need to spend ages waiting in line for the Jan de Groot cafe. Please be aware that service can be slow. But who goes to an art museum who is in a hurry! I highly recommend this gem of a museum. It is well worth the admission fee.

This is one of the best museums I've been to in the Netherlands. The experience of the journey it takes you through stays with you for days after your visit! I strongly reccomend the The Verhaal van Noord Brabant section 😌

Nice museum close to the StJans cathedral. The museum is located in a nice building. The standard exhibition has works from 1500-1950. Nice collection of works of Van Gogh. We visited the special exhibition: Brueghel the family reunion - Five generations under one roof.
