A great museum in the center of Eindhoven! It's exciting to watch a 130 year technology revolution in your native language! On the other hand, the museum was smaller than I expected. I see the brilliance of historical processes in a better interactive way. But I still recommend it…

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. However, what I expected that they would have wider samples from different Radio and Television and Tape recorders etc. from thier more than half a century history, but I was bit disappointed to see only a few. Nevertheless overall definitely worth a visit.

I didn’t expect a whole deal from this but was presently surprised, I had no idea the influence of this company- some really touching features. The cinema was nice to see the influence during the war. Cafe seemed reasonably priced- sadly no GF options. Also the free audio guide was a nice feature. A lot of interactive features

Nice museum. Not very big. The history part Was Great. A little selection of philips products on display

The museum is definitely a great surprise! Rather than a straightforward exhibition with boring facts, the Phillips museum is like a time machine, which helps you look into the lives of the past couple of generations, how their lives got changed because of electricity and Philips, and how they also shape the future.

Kids workshop is a must do! Amazing to watch them creating objects with their own hands. And than they ad on motor and battery it so it starts to move! Kids where so focused, happy and proud at the and!

Very nice museum with interesting history of Philips company. It’s not so big and can be viewed within one or one and half an hour.

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.

The exhibitions were very captivating and beautiful! What's more, they sell older issues of used magazines that are in good conditions for a very good price, 1-3€. They also have an amazing selection of postcards!

Take time to visit museum of strait simple Holland design and art Tickets on Sunday are €16.00 and thy have lockers Museum is such beautiful architecture of old and new combination with surroundings river and plants

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.

Somehow I wouldn’t go in there if I hadn’t a Ticket for the DDW . But I get suprised about the Architecture inside - like a 4 Floor Labyrinth… Kinda like it - next time I will spend more time!

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 :)

Such a beautiful church right in the middle of the city. I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere inside — it’s nice to step away from the busy streets for a while. The stained glass and high ceilings are stunning, and I loved discovering the little archaeological displays under the glass floor. It’s free to go in, which is great, and there’s plenty of space to sit and just take it all in. I just wish there were a few more signs or explanations in English, but still, I’d definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Eindhoven

🕍 10 Facts about St. Catherine’s Church, Eindhoven 1. Built in the 19th century The church was constructed between 1861 and 1867 in the Neo-Gothic architectural style. 2. Designed by a famous Dutch architect It was designed by Pierre Cuypers, the same architect who later built Amsterdam’s Central Station and the Rijksmuseum. 3. Historic sacred ground The site has hosted churches since the 13th century — long before the current structure was built. 4. Inspired by French Gothic cathedrals Cuypers drew inspiration from Chartres and Reims, reflected in the pointed arches, rose windows, and twin towers. 5. Damaged during World War II The church suffered severe damage from bombings in 1942, but was later carefully restored. 6. National Monument status In 1973, St. Catherine’s Church was officially listed as a Dutch National Monument. 7. Twin towers “Mary” and “David” The two towers reach about 73 meters high — one named Maria, the other David. 8. Cultural venue Besides religious services, the church regularly hosts classical concerts, choirs, and cultural events due to its excellent acoustics. 9. Archaeological discoveries Excavations beneath the church revealed about 1,000 human remains dating from 1200 – 1850 AD, offering a glimpse into medieval Eindhoven. 10. Central city landmark Located on Catharinaplein, near Stratumseind, it’s one of the most recognizable and photographed landmarks in Eindhoven’s city center.

St. Catherine’s Church tells a unique story. Wars, fires, and even a time when it was used as a stable are part of its journey. This neo-Gothic structure dates back to 1867, but its roots lie in the 11th century. Are any of you budding archaeologists? Here’s some info that might interest you: during its renovation in 2005, archaeologists discovered around 1,000 skeletons on the church grounds, dating back to 1200–1850.

St. Catherine's Church is a magnificent building with rich history. Its specially beautiful when the sun is out and then you see a beautiful display of light through the windows. There are a lot of skeletons as well around the church ground some of them are made visible. Must visit when you are in Eindhoven.

Neo-gothic church with a well kept interior. A few exhibition pieces inside related to the church and the area around it. Worth checking out if you're in the area!

Loved St. Catherine's Church in Eindhoven. A stunning venue. A must visit if you are in the city.

Historical church which appears as a show scene during Glow Eindhoven event in 2025 with reflection of glass art patterns on the outer facade.

Wonderful museum! I highly recommend; it has many interactions as well as statics and signs. Most signs are also in English in addition to the Dutch. We spent over two hours there and would have loved to have spent more time there!

A truly wonderful museum. There are lots of things to look at, but also to touch and try out. The staff are very helpful and explain things really well. There are even driving simulators so you can experience what it feels like to drive a truck. I highly recommend a visit here. Thank you for having me as your guest.

One of the best museums to visit in Eindhoven. You get to see all kinds of Trucks (racing, heavy duty, military etc), car (vintage, racing, wagon etc) and trolley. The museum is well maintained preserving the minute details. Information is provided for each of the vehicle. Great place to visit alone or with friends. Must visit once.

A place to experience and enjoy if you are into cars and trucks. Many old models of cars and trucks are on display. They have English translation available im the description boards for international audience.

I visited this museum during my stay in Eindhoven. It houses a vast collection of historic artifacts and provides extensive information about the Dutch Automobile Federation (DAF). The truck designs are impressive, but the cars are the most captivating aspect of the museum.

We went there thinking an hour is enough. But ended up staying for 2 hours. TONS of things to watch and experience, even have a couple computer simulation driving experience/game. You can sit inside a number of cars/trucks/busses so fun to take photos. They have a nice Cafe inside with delicious soup and pie. Street paid arking is available in the near by street. Great place to stop by for kids!!

Spent about an hour here. Many quirky and unique vehicles. Wide variety, from microcars over military platforms to busses and trucks. Well worth it.

Happened to arrive on Sunday afternoon and didn’t go inside. Just sharing some photos.

#28Weert St Martins church from the 15 Century. Was closed even though the bells were ringing out I could not get in - on a Sunday. So I guess it's only open for service. Aparently the vault paintings are worth a view. #railthetrails

Being a disciple of another church, I found the church a quite pleasant place to be. It is not a tourist attraction like in Haarlem, but a real active church. The bishop knows also the English language and it was nice to communicate with him.

Glory be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour forever who liveth amongst us through His Holy Spirit. Amen For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son,Jesus Christ, that whoever believes in Him will be saved. It is as the scripture says- he who believes( in Jesus Christ)- from him will flow streams of living water. May the living waters flow forth from this church! Amen

I cant believe this photo is for me amazing

Powerful square big church. Not cosy, cold design.

Nice Monument. The Heart of Weert. Timeless👉🙏👉👼👉👍👉👑👉❤👉➰👉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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 😌

Great mixture of modern and classic art+ child friendly

Great museum! Very interesting, well displayed and maintained. Friendly staff and a wide range of interesting elements on display and North Brabant history

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.

Beautiful cathedral! Lovely to walk around in. The staff was a bit dismissive when we asked about the grave of Hieronymus Bosch. They don’t know where he was buried but he was carried out of the church after his funeral, for which there is a stone to commemorate in one of the doorways.

Very beautiful inside and outside. You get a spiritual feeling when going through the inside of the Cathedral. Its just magnificent, you just have to experience it yourself

The enormous St John's Cathedral was stunning outside and beautiful inside. As always, learning the history and focusing in on all or the intricate details is amazing.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals of the Netherlands with a huge organ; the colored windows are amazing. You can walk to the top and have a beautiful view over Den Bosch. In and outside the architecture is stunning and overwhelming

Extravagantly decorated Gothic cathedral in Den Bosch, very beautiful on the outside, I didn’t have an opportunity to look inside.

Beautiful church building in the centre of the old town. Hard to believe that it is 800 years old. Must visit when you are in Den Bosch!

A beautiful early Gothic Cathedral built in the Dutch style.

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. Staff provides the needed information in a professional, helpful and friendly manner. 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. 😊

I was fascinated of Bosch’s work and really enjoyed visiting this art center. They also had some funny trippy movies and huge crazy clock with “animation”

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.

Small interesting museum of Bosch's work and work of people inspired by him in a church. Great view from the fifth floor, also has an elevator.

What a great museum...the location in a church gives it an extra dimension. You can take the elevator to the rooftop for a great view over the city as well...The paper guide book they give you at the entrance is very interesting too to understand better the artwork! Not to miss....

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. Gift shop has a wide variety of souvenirs but the t-shirts at $50 is crazy

Amazing experience for Bosch fans, the paintings reproductions are very good and the atmosphere of the place is really cool.

If you want to see Rock Hyraxes (also known as Cape Hyrax)- definitely pay a visit to Zie-ZOO! A wonderful Zoo with plenty of animals to see🥰

It's a nice, cute zoo. They have a good number of animals and it was not very busy when we were there. However, most of the animals are in very small enclosures. I generally don't like that. The newer party offer much bigger enclosures and I understand the older part is up for renovations. Maybe the total number of animals will decrease in this process with the area available pretty animal increasing. Until then, the score is limited a bit for me.

It's a small zoo, nothing fancy, but it's ideal for children. There's plenty to see, very well taken care of, lovely playground. Not to crowded, so perfect for children that easily get overwhelmed. And because it's so small, you can take your time and relax, you will be able to see everything this zoo has to offer within your visit (a few hours, not an entire day) We had my daughters birthday party at Ziezoo and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect afternoon! The kids had so much fun, they loved everything about it! The staff is super friendly and they took such good care of everything! I definitely recommend throwing your kids birthday party at Ziezoo. It was was absolutely perfect (my daughter and her friends are ages 5-6)

Slightly smaller than a usual zoo but displayed a great range of species. Also has a small cafe with food to grab, a nice outdoor sitting area, a playground for kids and toilets. Staff was friendly, approachable and happy to switch to English when needed. Absolutely recommended.

It's ok to visit if it is just near you, but not quite worth it if you are from a far away place. The playground is nice in particular.

I rather liked it here though it's still in various stages of reconstruction for several habitats. We look forward to going back when the maintenance/rebuilding is done.

Wonderful small zoo

Really nice park. My kids loved it as there was so much for them to do. There was some stuff we didn't manage to do as they were happy just playing in all the various play areas. and there are some rides we couldn't ride due to height restrictions, but we will definitely be back when they are taller to ride them all. The park was very clean and tidy. The theming was really good and the little interactive elements entertained the kids. The shows we watched were good too. I liked how compact the park was as it made it easy to walk around all day no long paths of nothing to walk down. You exited one area and entered another very quickly with something new and exciting to find around each corner.

A lovely day out, Fenix and Troy bring the standout rides. Every member of staff we dealt with were brilliant! Excellent value for money, considering the array of rides to choose from. Had lunch at the Flaming Feather and the burger was perfect.

Really nice theme park. Not very crowded, clean and well maintained. If you like rollercoasters, this is a nice park to be. There are, at least four or five. The wooden and the Fenix ones are for adrenaline people. Awesome. We liked it a lot. It is great for kids from 4 and up.

Came a few weeks ago, honestly had the best day. We were fortunate to have blue sky's and sunshine. Definitely our favourite theme park we have ever visited. The indoor area for kids is fantastic, offers hours of fun. Never seen anything like it. There's so much to do here, one day is not enough. Fingers crossed we can come back one day!! 😁

This park was really good for all ages. They had plenty of rides for little ones and also had rides for bigger kids and adults. I can't say anything about the food as we took lunch with us as we didn't want to waste time waiting for food. If you plan your day right you can see the whole park in one day.

The main rides are alright. When we were there werent many guests so I can‘t really judge the queues. Food was good, really liked the Pasta inside the hall. Friendly staff members all around, especially the guy on the climbing activity

Very nice park. Most of the attractions had a queue line under 15 minutes which obviously is ideal. Although a few rides had a very low capacity almost everything was doable. Enough spaces to rest, eat and relax next to all the thrills. And an appreciation towards the park for keeping everything clean non-stop.

Did not go inside the castle building as some events were scheduled there. Castle grounds, amphitheatre, water body around it are gorgeous. Had a very nice evening walk.

Nice quiet location. We biked there from Biltmore, and enjoyed the ride.

Pity the waitress treated us like naughty children , the waitstaff was overwhelmed and was taking it out on the clients , they definitely need Chef Ramsey to teach them all over again I definitely don’t recommend this experience to anyone The event was amazing but unfortunately ruined by the chief waitress taking the orders

I didn't get to go inside but it's a beautiful area to walk around and a lovely building. I also really enjoyed the different art sculptures in the park surrounding it. Very fun.

Beautiful castle and gardens. I was lucky enough to catch a Jazz concert on my afternoon visit.

Slot Zeist is a beautiful castle with a garden. From the Orangerie, after a delicious cup of coffee with apple pie, you can walk around for hours.

Could be nice but was closed even though it was mentioned to be open.....probably only for bookings, meetings and similar occasions....the gardens were great and the restaurant good with very friendly staff! 👍

We visited park in October. Judging from how the park is now — it might have been better, it might have been better if it would close in September. Because at this point it’s mostly showroom for different garden designs; not much flowers or special things to see. So this part of the year.. it feels like you’re paying 20 euros just to see the garden ideas. It doesn’t feel like a “day out”. Good chance that it’s fun in summer. There were like 6 people in total in whole park at Tuesday. With dog it was alright, smooth. I guess for same price you could go to Kasteeltuinen Arcen, which will give you much-much more for about the same price. Because this feels more like you stepped to someone’s garden. Most restaurants were closed as well. But overall it was fun. Because of the company 🙂

Wonderful place to get good ideas to design your garden. A large variety of flowers, plants and trees to look throughout all the different designs splitted in 4 area's. The advice is to visit Appeltern gardens by end of April when the weather is better and flowers are having more blossom. During our visit the blue and purple area were pretty empty so nothing to see there, We think this should be reflected in the entry price. So best visit time is June till September.

Great place for a day out for the garden lovers. A huge place with many different areas and gardens for every taste. Also fun for kids as there is a playground and some other fun things to see and do. It also has various places to have a drink and some food. Finally there is a nice shop with garden flowers and all kind of ornaments and other gifts. Plenty of parking.

A wonderful, inspiring place, I recommend it to every fan of gardens, but also to those who like nature. You need to find time for at least 4 hours. In the area there are opportunities to have a snack or coffee and sit directly in the gardens

An amazing garden full of garden inspiration. A great playground for children that will entertain adults as well. It is worth spending a whole day here. The plant shop is great, they don't have a big selection, but I found what I was looking for :).

Very beautiful gardens. Great if you need inspiration for your garden or just like looking at plants. We had a great day. The parking was good and costs 3 euro. We were a bit disappointed by the quality of the food but that is personal preference. There are a lot of paths to follow and a recommended route would have been nice (if there is one I am sorry I missed it. ) Recommended!

Beautiful place to visit any time of the year. There is always something new to see and the gardens are set out well with estabilished plants. Super for researching garden design ideas or plant choice . Set in a beautiful landscape accentuating the beauty of the site. Highly Recommended !

Really nice zoo. Not huge, but that makes it easy to see everything without rushing. Walking between the animals is great fun, and the vibe is super relaxed. Perfect for a 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.

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!

This is the favourite zoo of my kid and myself! There are open spaces to walk around the animals, a lot of greenery and enough space no matter how busy it is. The animals are in great shape!

Definitely one of the most impressing museum visits in my life! Very modern exhibition concept with a lot of interactive and thrilling displays and edutainment stations! Being virtually INSIDE a D-Day landing craft was definitely an experience to remember!!! This museum ist a MUST SEE!!!

Amazing museum full of vehicles and equipment with pretty well done prepared movies to watch. Museum might seem expensive but it is worth this money. I highly recommend taking some time to check every exhibition and watch movies and experience Operation Overlord.

Great exhibits, some very interesting original items, the short interactive exhibits were very nicely done. Most everything was in Dutch or German but they offer free wifi which we used to translate.

Amazing experience and must see for any history enthusiasts. Planes, tanks and other large militaries equipment, guns, shells… you name it. I particularly liked the d day experience (included), as 4D theatre. Lovely pls e and highly recommend.

Amazing place, probably my 4th time I have been here. Incredible selection of vehicles and armored tanks, planes, motorcycles guns, cannons and much much more. Truly an incredible collection and well arranged!

Excellent museum with a great atmosphere and impressive exhibits. Everything is well presented, informative, and easy to explore. You can really feel the history while walking through — definitely worth a visit!

Great place for history and military enthusiasts. Lots of authentic equipment, interesting multimedia exhibitions, and very friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!

Unexpected great museum for museumkaart holders! Staff were helpful, and gave me a guide with descriptions of the rooms in english, as most text is written only in dutch. I liked it more than the mondriaanhuis, so I highly recommend it! It takes 45-60 min to visit.

It's ok but not that exciting or interesting. It's just nice for a visit if nothing better has come up and you took the boat tour that gives you 50% or have a Museumkaart.

Pretty nice museum. Had some great history about Amersfoort. Enjoyed some of the exhibitions and paintings very much, especially the exhibition about water.

I visited the museum in May, 2025, when a very substantial show of paintings by Wessel Huisman was presented across the entire museum. The building is gorgeous and well located. Huisman's work consists of a re-reading of Classical perspective laws through a modern sensitivity. I found the work beautiful, thought-provoking, and made with tremendous skill.

Although me and my gf only had about 45 minutes to explore the museum, we still found a lot of interesting things and it was a great experience, would like to come back later with more time to explore the museum!

All about Mathias Withoos,something new from me. The only problem was that there were no explanations in English only in Dutch. Thanks God,a visitor who was kind explained me about the family Withoos and their way of seeing the nature then in 17 th centery and later by Hans ,1962. Nature as an unit,life is ours only temporary,all you have today tomorrow could be dust,,,themes of painting. The video from the end it's interesting also,to see how technology today,can change the reality in art.

An interesting museum on the history of Amersport with rotating exhibitions. Beautiful both from the outside and from the inside architecturally.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Great Museum. Very interesting permanent exhibition, excellent temporary ones. Very educational and entertaining at the same time. Great guides. Charming, knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit or two.

Best museum that we visited in the Arnhem and Nijmegen area. Very thought provoking detailing the world leading up to WW2, the Occupation, Market Garden and post war.

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. The museum staff were exceptionally friendly and as I arrived early on a normal working day, I had the entire museum almost for myself. For the real enthusiastic world war 2 visitor, I would recommend combining this visit to the airborne museum, another exceptional museum, just outside Arnhem

Happened to visit on Liberation Day with plenty going on. Interested particularly in Operation Veritable, finding a long lost relative on the Roll of Honour was a highlight. Particularly enjoyed hunting down the spies in an escape room type interactive area before joining the main museum. 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

Went to visit my grandfather's grave. Quite moving to see of thoses soldiers. Well maintained cemetery. Met some wonderful dutch women that came to show respect to them, which was very touching to witness ( Vili ?! if I can pronounce the name right, if you ever read this, thank you for your so kind soul ! It was a pleasure to meet you and you touched my heart deeply with how your were in regards to them . Bless your heart ! rare to meet such kind women . Naïké

Impressive place to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom. Visited on final day of the 4day marches in Nijmegen That we never forget

Very well maintained cemetery, and a very moving tribute to the over 2,600 Allied servicemen who died in the final stages of the European war.

THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐 (Thank you for your service and Rest in Eternal Peace)

As with all the Commonwealth Wargraves they are gardens which are kept to the highest standard, humbling, serene and beautiful. Besides the canadian service men, there are other nationalities laid to rest, among them a Dutch soldier.

God bless our glorious dead.

A huge heart felt Thank you to all the people of the Nederlands for looking after our veterans. It always make me tear up. 🇨🇦❤️🇳🇱

A fantastic museum. Loved the Dakota experience! Even saw an AFPU photographer manakin which was great to see as my journey to Arnhem was to Jump into Renkum as an AFPU photographer myself. I look forward to returning for the 82nd anniversary and will visit again. See photos of Manakin and myself in AFPU uniform. Go easy on the dummy jokes! 👀

We visited the Airborne Museum on Saturday and had a great experience! There weren’t many people, so there were no queues and we could take our time exploring. The museum is very well organized and informative, telling the story of Operation Market Garden and the Battle of Arnhem in an engaging way. Inside, there are authentic artifacts, uniforms, weapons, personal stories, and photographs that give a real sense of what happened during the battle. One of the highlights is the immersive light and sound show, which recreates the experience of the fighting, it’s really well done and helps you imagine what the soldiers went through. After exploring the exhibits, we went outside to the small café, which serves food and drinks.. perfect for a short break. There’s also a tank outside, great for taking pictures. Overall, a very interesting and moving museum that’s well worth a visit if you’re interested in WWII history.

An excellent museum telling the story about operation Market Garden and "A Bridge Too Far". The Arnhem experience in the basement floor is very good and the audio guide works well.

Excellent museum that tells the story of Arnhem. So much to see and experience, especially as the building was used as the Headquarters during the Battle. Surrounded by beautiful grounds and monuments commemorating battle. Very good shop and cafe outside.

She great place for visits- for any history enthusiasts and wide public. Important place of a battler during ww2, lots of lovely historic military stuff and absolutely stunning interactive experience down in cellar. Must see

I visited the Airborne museum at Hartenstein for the first time in Sep 2025, during a motorcycle trip from the UK. I booked in advance and the staff were helpful in changing my visit day by email. The entrance to the museum itself is accessed from the "Klein Hartenstein" restaurant so if you go into the car park of that premises which is only accessible from the main road and it is a short walk less than 200 metres to the museum. Although the building itself is relatively small there is plenty to see on the inside, with a clearly signed layout to follow and see the museum. The Airborne simulation which showed a glider borne landing which starts in a plane carriage and leads onto various simulations of battle scenes from Arnhem with lighting and sound is well worth a look. Unfortunately this one was a flying visit, I'll be back.

A marvellous museum that remembers the bravery, loss and sacrifice of The British. Airborne Division, The Polish Airborne Brigade and the oppressed Dutch population in September 1944. The museum also offers detailed artefacts etc of the occupying German forces. The cost in June 2025 was €16 person and this is very good value in my opinion. The museum exhibits and information are very well laid out. The staff are friendly and give advice on the museum and how to use the personal audio equipment. The gift/bookshop is well stocked. Toilets are within the building, too. As of June 2025, there is a temporary exhibit by the Netherlands Army body recovery and identification team. This is fascinating and their commitment to identifying the war dead, admirable. The battle display is very good, taking visitors through a glider landing to the eventual withdrawal across The Rhine River. It is noisy and realistic. I would highly recommend that you visit here if you have any interest whatsoever in World War Two. "Lest We Forget"

Wonderful park that gets quiet when you go deeper, and you can also walk the dog without a leash there. Usually you'll be able to spot some swans and in spring many birds are giving their hatchlings swimming lessons.

Properly one of the most beautiful city parks Western Europe. Sonsbeek is undoubtedly Netherlands and Arnhem's most famous park, just a five-minute walk from Central Station and the city center.

A beautiful park to walk around and not far from the Central train station too.

What a beautiful park! It's simply lovely and such a delightful place to spend time. Arnhem is such a friendly city, and this park is just a quick 10-minute stroll from the very centre. You can't help but feel happy being here!

waterfalls add to its beauty. The terraces planted with flowers of various colors are enchanting. It’s a peaceful, quiet, and clean park. We didn’t explore the whole place, but you can also have a meal at the café near the entrance.

Beautiful place. Love to walk here

Great park, as a kid I have been visiting this park pretty regular, now I visit it with my son. It has a nice little waterfall, you can walk through a tunnel beneath the water. It has Deers, in the weekends they have all sorts of activities.

This is a wonderful zoo, one of the best I have visited in Europe. The forest in the middle of the park is amazing and very diverse in terms of plants and animals, and there's also a waterfall. A lot of animals had newborns, which was very cute. The sea zone was very beautiful, of course limited in size as it is not the main focus of the park (if you like water animals, make sure you visit the one in Barcelona). Downsides: too many people which created crowds, and no staff around the park to help.

Such a beautiful and fun zoo! Would definitely recommend for adults and for children. As an adult that likes to go to zoo’s that are not just for kids, this is a great pick! A full day is needed to visit here and be prepared for different types of biomes, this is the most interesting ! There are restaurants located around, and I would recommend the Bush restaurant! The food is quite pricy for what it is.

Amazing!!! The first steps didn’t seem like it will be much yet quickly we realized how well thought is whole place. Really you see the animals and theirs wellbeing is the highest priority. Still all is designed in such smart way that you able to observe them in awe! True treat for families but I guess it’s also a great idea for a date or solo experience. Enjoyed tons🙌🏼 There are parts of it fully in dome that creates full experience of natural habitats- if you don’t look up it’s easily to feel like in a jungle or on some tropical place. Amazing!

I went their with my wife and daughter( 2 years old). The park has huge car parking (paid) with electric car chargers. Overall the park is huge and very well built. There are enough benches to sit and observe. The observation decks are very well positioned, and the safari restaurant has amazing views of the African safari lands. Their is great variety of food options, even for kids. The food was lekker. Overall the entire experience was just amazing.

This was a wonderful zoo experience. One the rare “cageless” habitats and it was wonderful to see the animals roam around in rather large habitats. Beautifully designed, and aesthetically pleasing. Parking costs 9 EUR and approx 29 EUR for a single ticket for adults. It can take somewhere between 3-4 hours to leisurely see all exhibits

Always nice to go here..! Is calm and peaceful… The animals are well taken care of and monkeys are my favorite! Mangrove is my favorite place to visit… It a nice funny cute and a great zoo to visit

It is an interesting Zoo which offers animal as much nature space as possible. With the map you can explore all different parts of the zoo. But with the open nature it also creates some challenges, it might be sometime difficult to trace where the animals are, which brings down the experience slightly. Quite some food choices inside the canteen and plenty of paid parking space inside as well

Incredible experience! So much amazing history to discover and many interactive exhibits like the weavers and the blacksmiths. The grounds are stunning and expansive. You can tour the grounds on the trolley which is super fun for kids. There is an entire section of the ground dedicated to kids activities. The restaurant and Cafe was really nice with many vegan options including pastries! The gift shop is very nice with many good Dutch gifts.

In my opinion the best museum in the Netherlands, bar none. Well worth the ticket price and whatever the train costs coming here. The entire museum is extremely well maintained. Facilities are unbelievably sanitary. The food served in the "restaurant corner" of the museum is reasonably priced and mouth-watering good. The fries are a must try. The exhibits offer a detailed look into history, with content written in both Dutch and English. The experience is thoughtfully divided into sectors, each containing exhibits from different time periods. Historic trams run frequent headways in a circular route around the museum. These are free to board and a wonderful way to have a look around. Of course, the museum is 100% walkable. 10/10 experience. The day went by in a flash - will be back.

The Netherlands Open Air Museum in Arnhem is a fantastic destination for families with children. The open layout gives kids plenty of space to run and explore, and there’s something exciting to discover around every corner—from old windmills and traditional farmhouses to vintage trams that take you around the museum grounds. It feels like stepping into a living storybook of Dutch history. What really makes it special for children is how interactive and hands-on everything is. There are live demonstrations of old crafts like weaving, blacksmithing, and even bread baking—many of which kids can try themselves. Throughout the museum, staff dressed in historical clothing bring the past to life with friendly explanations and fun activities. There’s also a playground area and child-friendly exhibits that keep little ones engaged and curious. The museum is very well-organized, with clean facilities, family-friendly paths for strollers, and several places to eat or picnic. It’s the kind of place where both kids and adults can learn, play, and enjoy a full day outdoors together. If you’re visiting the Netherlands with your family, this museum is an absolute must-see!

Lovely place in Holland. If you have the museum card and you go with your family, this is a great place to spend the day at. The nature is beautiful, the tram is fun for the kids, you could see farm animals and enjoy the different family activities. I love the Dutch concept of having open air museums where you can see the history of the country.

Beautiful museum about Dutch history and how people were living in the past century. We visited during a busy weekend but because the size of the park it does not feel crowded. A tram can be used to travel quickly from one location to another. Not only the buildings are in perfect condition, but also the landscape, the gardens, the trams etc. are well maintained. Definitely worth a visit.

We visited on our way from Germany to the ferry from Europort. It's a lovely place for a few hours, lots to see. Very knowledgeable staff/volunteers to tell you about the life etc.

For peaceful weekends, I recommend to visit here. It was an impressive and pleasant sightseeing.

A small museum with some very surprising interactions! The very helpful staff are willing to give you some lovely details about Harderwijk. You get escorted to small cinema where the History of Harderwijk is explained, then a door pops open and you get into a magical bar where you can interact with characters from different periods that tell something about the history of Harderwijk. Very entertaining and family friendly! The museum tells about their city rights, the Lost University that the famous Lineaus graduated, the low lives that joined the Dutch colonial armies that free people from all over the world, a safe haven for Belgian soldiers from the First World War and many more interesting facts. There were 2 temporally exhibitions, one of a local artist and one about Petra Urban, a court artist that shows her realistic art and court experiences. There is a small restaurant with view of a garden and they have a shop, free lockers and a garderobe. Definitely do the 2 in 1 ticket with the Marius van Dokkum museum.

Small museum, only 45 min or an hour is enough. Stuff were kind, Delicious coffee. You can use cabinets free and you will see a good demonstration of the history of the city Harderwijk 😊

Nice museum with interesting pictures, but it’s a pity that because of the corona virus, a part of the museum is closed.

Great local museum. Went to an excellent photography exhibit here.

Second visit was disappointing. Exhibition over History of Gelderland was chauvinistic and polarising. Not a good look in these divisive times. By entry, scanner did not register my Museumkaart the 1st time.Gentleman at the counter informed me it had expired, and at first wanted to keep it. By the second try, it did work. Afterwards, eating a cake in the cafe, I bit down hard on what proved to be a sizable piece of a walnut shell. Fortunately, I did not break a tooth, and it did not go down my throat. I showed it to the lady behind the counter, but all she said was that normally, it was a good baker, and she would pass it on. NO apology. At that moment, the same fellow from the front desk passed by, looked at the shell, and said, "Well, now we know it was really fresh." I kept silent. The contrast between our 1st visit and 2nd couldn't have been greater. I will not return.

Quite a lot to be discovered here, beyond history also art, culture, and exhibitions. The temporary exhibition during my visit was on the regional clothing styles, and it's in tremendous detail. Quite interesting how textiles and patterns told a tale of one's background, martial status, but also for instance phase of mourning after a loved one's passing. If you'd like to know more about the fishing history of the city, there's a lot to be discovered in the attic: Harderwijk used to be adjacent the sea, which is an incredible story on its own.

Small museum with nice temporary exhibitions, beautifully arranged, a couple of Marius van Dokkum, an artist that you should know. The town itself is way more beautiful than I expected.

I can find a single reason why I would stay there again. The place is completely rund down. If I had to guess, the last renovation was in the 90s. Even if people like the wrecked rundown 90s charm, for what it is, it's way to expensive.

It's great for the kids, but you see on every thing that it's old, and should be renewed. The free ice cream and potato fries are great.

Great for kids under 12years and over 1,30m height

Stayed here for a business trip. The room was pretty comfortable, the included dinner convenient and quick, and the price was great. Access to the park was also included, but it was deserted and kind of weird in a sad way.

We came for the meltdown scooter rally 2024 and stayed for 5 days the service from arrival to departure was fantastic everything was higher than our expectations food was amazing staff was always polite and very friendly and welcoming the hotel is quirky however fits well can't find anything to complain about it was just perfect highly recommend for anyone thank-you to all staff and events crew you was all brilliant . Please can the theme park be open that would put the icing on the cake as everyone wanted to go on the rides see you all again for more dancing laughter and drinking next year we have all ready pre booked.... Cheryl and Steve armed forces scooter club

Generously proportioned rooms, a variety of large public areas inside and out. Excellent food for the most part, the only exception to that were the desserts. For kids though, a variety of ice-cream plus whipped cream can't be beat. Friendly, helpful and professional staff. We also visited the attached theme park and were very happy. Definitely worth a return visit.

The place is very bad and there is no good treatment. The rating is one star. The prices are very high. 🤫🤫

Actually it is closed because of renovation but we'll come back as soon as they open again in 2026. Nice location, good restaurant with nicely presented dishes next to the castle.

Wow!!! I didn't expect to see here such a great collection of the middle ages art. The castle itself very beautiful, so don't forget to take camera. They also have a special audio guide with tasks (from 8 y.o.) for children. There is a cafe in the castle's yard.

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!

Nice old castle with an exhibition of medieval art. You can get a (free) tour of the tower with some very nice views and a visit to the weapons room. Beautiful garden as well.

Fantastic castle. Working time was untill 16:30 so we have not managed to get inside but still being outside was impresive. There us a cafe with good offer of food and beer

What a stunning place to visit. The castle is located near the Dutch/German border in a beautiful surrounding. The castle harbours a fantastic collection, gathered by the Van Heek family. If you love ancient buildings, history, paintings and antique, you should place the castle on your to visit list.

Nice exhibition. Do use the audiotour! Your ticket will be valuable for the whole day :) Also pay the "stadsmuseum" a visit. It's just across located at Marktplaats 3.

Amazing experience. If you have a stroller, they will get on the stroller. They provide free anti-primate bags to put your stuff in. You get to be so close to the animals! There are activities throughout the park to keep kids entertained and engaged. As well as fun facts and other educational things along the way.

Apenheul is a beautiful park with great visibility of the monkeys and superb, friendly staff. The landscaping is lovely, and the whole place feels clean and well-kept. The only downside: the paper maps often end up soggy in the water, which makes things messy — a digital app or clearer route signs would be a big improvement. Avoid going in the summer break — it’s just too crowded and very loud. For children who get easily overstimulated, a weekday in low season is a much better choice. The food is below average, even though there are plenty of food squares to choose from. The park also has several playgrounds that are both challenging and fun for younger kids, which is a real plus for families. The walk through the park is long but very scenic if you enjoy nature. Parking looks like it could be chaotic on busy days, but thanks to the staff’s excellent handling and clear protocols, there’s really no room for chaos — they keep everything moving smoothly. One tip: don’t bring small items in your pockets (sunglasses, phones, etc.). Consider adding a small travel lock to your bag, otherwise you’ll be required to carry one of the free Apenheul monkey-proof bags. They’re big enough, but when packed too heavy, they can become a real strain on your shoulders. All in all, a beautifully maintained park with wonderful staff and a unique experience — best enjoyed outside peak season.

Apenheul is an absolutely amazing place — it’s worth visiting Apeldoorn just for this park! The entire experience was fantastic. Even on a very hot day, the park feels pleasant and refreshing thanks to the tall trees and natural shade everywhere. You can walk among various monkey species freely, and it’s incredible how close you can get to them while still respecting their space. The animals seem very well cared for, which really adds to the experience. One small downside: the video shown during the gorilla feeding session was only in Dutch with German subtitles. It would have been more inclusive if English subtitles were also available. The live presentation was also in Dutch, but considering that most visitors are from the Netherlands and many are children, it’s understandable. If you’re anywhere nearby, I highly recommend visiting. A truly unique and enjoyable experience!

We visited Apenheul and absolutely loved it. The monkeys are adorable 😍🐒 and you can see many of them up close as they move freely around the park. There are also other animals, like capybaras. The whole park is very well equipped, with plenty of rest areas and even sunscreen dispensers available throughout. Everything is clean, well maintained, and organized. The staff is friendly, very attentive to both visitors and the animals, always ready to help. The gorilla presentation was a real highlight. It’s definitely a great place for families with children, but we’re a couple in our twenties and we had a fantastic time too 😊😊

Apenheul – Where the Monkeys Are Better Behaved Than Some Visitors Apenheul was pure magic. The park (and the nearby public park) is spotless, beautifully kept, and just a short walk from a spacious parking area. The real highlight? Dozens of monkey species roaming free, completely at ease – it’s like stepping into their world instead of peering at them from behind glass. At the entrance, you get a free monkey-proof bag to protect your belongings from curious little hands. You can skip it if you’ve already made your own “thief-proof” setup (think carabiners locking your zippers) – but trust me, the monkeys will test your security system. Friendly staff are everywhere, making sure both monkeys and humans stay safe – a small miracle considering there are still the occasional unsupervised kids and the inevitable wheeled trailers people insist on dragging along. The feeding sessions are a must. Check the website or park guide for times – you’ll learn a lot and it’s a joy to watch. Huge applause for the staff, who clearly care deeply for the animals and create an experience that feels respectful, educational, and unforgettable.

Amazing experience. It was a bit crowded, but there wasnt a long wait to get in. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The habitats were spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Very educational and unlike any "zoo" experience I've had in the past.

One of the coolest most immersive and beautiful zoos with apes and monkeys that have plenty of space and safe interactions with visitors.

Great amusement park for young kids (<10). Best for toddlers. Not too big, they can't get lost. If you arrive around 10:00, you can park at P1. If you are there after 10:30, don't even bother and head straight for P2. Oh and though the park opens at 10:00, you can't go in before 10:30 so you stand around in the food court behind the entrance. There is a little sign and dance show for the little ones.

Great amusement park for kids to enjoy. Parents can join kids in pretty much every ride. The staff at the rides are also very kind and polite. There can be pretty big queues at each ride.

Very fun park for kids and adults to join in. Good - many good attractions - attractions are not scattered across are large area. - many places to sit and rest - allowed to bring your own food and drinks - plenty of food and drinks stalls - parking P1 is next to the park, P2 is 5min ride with the bus (free provided by the park) - instead of closing down all the attractions at once, they gradually close between 17 and 18, reducing the crowd at the exit, very smart!

It's a wonderful park specially designed for kids of all ages. Adults could also enjoy rides along with their little ones.

Sort of like an overgrown Kermis. Mostly Carnival rides. Some rides you or a friend operate the attraction, pulling yourself up or starting the ride by pressing the buttons. The park had a delayed opening and technical difficulties due to a power outage in the morning. Cute shows for the kids. Kids sit up front. Parents and families sit in the back, it's gives you a few minutes to sit at least. If you buy the character cups, ask for the one want. They should have all of them. A sweet girl change it for us! We didn't fully understand why there were barrels with the cavemen and dinosaurs. This ride also had an extremely long wait. I'm not sure why the gentleman was taking so long to send the cars after they loaded. I assume they didn't have enough cars on the track, but it just seemed to take so long.

Great park with attractions for children. Large selection of attractions from small to medium children. I recommend to visit.

Crowded, expensive, and poorly ran… retirees working here (as you can see in my picture) fill two cups with one small kid each and my two small kids and a whole giant line of people are waiting

Amazing palace, a must visit when you are around. The garden is precious and highly recommended to spend some time outside. The sculptures as well as the plants and flowers are beautiful. The design of the landscape is so cool. Plus, the restaurant is also very good with a scenic view.

Arguably the most magnificent palace in the Netherlands and it is easily reachable by public transport. It's massive so you really need a full day to explore the palace AND the fabulous gardens. Everything is breathtaking!

Its a great place to visit. The tours inside the palace are nice. You can do a tour with a book so you can read from a folder you can get at the start or do an audio tour. Then the gardens are amazing especially when the weather is in your favor. Parking is close and not expensive (€8 for the day day)

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.

Second time visiting after more than 5 years. A great destination to visit with family or friends. A great day out to visit not only the palace but also the garden, the antique cars & carriages collection and the exhibitions. Good facility for visitors such as the toilets, lockers, parking, etc.

We didn’t go inside the palace, but with such beautiful weather we didn’t mind at all. The terrace was a lovely spot to sit, and the gardens are truly worth the visit : peaceful, well kept, and full of charm.

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!

Always something interesting to see here. We all enjoyed the exhibit from Erik Mattijssen a lot especially. Not too big either which I like.

Great museum in the small town of Gorssel. The permanent collection didn't inspire me too much. Some interesting works were on display. However, the exposition by Cornelis Völker is excellent, very inspiring and comprehensive collection of paintings with relevant themes. Very seldom to see a modern artist portrait the world so simply, yet so accurate.

Beautiful museum, set in a very pretty little village. The permanent artwork and the guest exhibition were both amazing Will visit again for sure

A must. Worth a detour. Try those delicious cakes in the restaurant. Immaculate.

Excellent collection of modern realism painting and sculpture by Dutch artists. I loved some paintings, but a few sculptures look scurry as from horror movies. Permanent collection is big, and there is an exhibition. Parking is big and free. Stuff is very friendly and supportive. The museum has access for wheel chairs.

Museum MORE is a Dutch museum in Gorssel, Netherlands. The display of the paintings and exhibits it is totally worth it, even though the location of the museum is not very convenient and takes some time to travel. The paintings guide you through a diversity of emotions and the realism of the exhibits is unbelievable. Museumkaart is valid for a discount on the entrance ticket. I enjoyed my visit here and do recommend to add the museum on to visit list in Netherlands.

Excellent and memorable exhibition. You can see the development of the artist, Carel Willink. He goes through phases of his life like the whole world did last century. This narrative becomes all the more personal for him, clearly shown through his works.

Very refined and beautifully restored castle standing in delightful, park-like gardens. The castle is dedicated to an art gallery with changing exhibitions, and is definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful gardens! And there was an exhibition about cats 🐈🐱🐈‍⬛. I used my museum card to enter. I went there by tren and it’s accessible on foot from the train station.

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.

Beautifully restored little castle with modern amenities. The new wooden, inlaid floors mirror the patterns in the ceiling. Very nice grounds for strolling around. Nice collection of Carel Willink paintings. The orangerie offers great food for a very reasonable price

Awesome castle with meat with a high quality museum inside. Great time.

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..
