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!
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!

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.
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!

Had a lot of fun today at KlimKong. My initial thought was that this would be a kids activity, but it's fun for all ages. It's a nice clean park with friendly staff who give a good explanation on the do's and don'ts beforehand and are always available for questions while on the tracks.
(Translated by Google) Fun to do. The climbing is harder than expected. Minus point is that people over 100kg cannot go on lane 3 (family lane). That leaves only lanes 1 and 2, because my son did not dare to go on lane 3 alone and was too young for lane 4. We had a good time, by the way. Staff is nice and helpful. All in all a great day out. (Original) Leuk om te doen. Het klimmen is zwaarder dan verwacht. Min puntje dat mensen boven de 100kg niet op baan 3 (familiebaan) kunnen. Dan blijven alleen baan 1 en 2 over, omdat mijn zoon niet alleen op baan 3 durfde en te jong was voor baan 4. Hebben ons overigens goed vermaakt. Personeel is aardige en behulpzaam. Al met al prima dagje uit.
(Translated by Google) Nice climbing forest for smaller children too. Four different types of tours depending on age and size. (Original) Schöner Kletterwald auch für kleinere Kinder. Vier verschiedene Arten von Rundgänge je nach Alter und Größe.
(Translated by Google) Had a super fun children's party today at Klimkong in Overloon. Professional guidance to ensure that everything went safely. The children were trapped from the moment they left the ground until they got back down. They were able to climb for two hours and were sad when we were done. That's a good sign. We will definitely come back again! (Original) Vandaag een superleuk kinderfeestje gehad bij Klimkong in Overloon. Professionele begeleiding die zorgen dat alles veilig verliep. De kinderen zaten vanaf het eerste moment dat ze van de grond loskwamen vast totdat ze weer beneden waren. Ze hebben twee uur kunnen klimmen en ze vonden het jammer toen we klaar waren. Dat is een goed teken. Wij komen zeker nog een keer terug!
(Translated by Google) Big disappointment! The site promised a climbing height of up to 20 meters. However, upon arrival this turned out to be less than 10 meters. In addition, climbing route 5 was closed due to a rotten tree. There was nothing mentioned about this on the site either. When we inquired about this, we were told that this had been the case for several years. Definitely not recommended! Expensive and does not meet expectations. (Original) Grote tegenvaller! Op de site werd een klimhoogte tot 20 meter beloofd. Bij aankomst bleek dit echter nog geen 10 meter te zijn. Bovendien was klimroute 5 gesloten ivm een rotte boom. Ook hierover was niks op de site vermeld. Bij navraag hierover werd ons verteld dat dit al enkele jaren het geval was. Zeker geen aanrader! Duur en voldoet niet aan de verwachtingen.
(Translated by Google) Very mediocre and expensive climbing park. Not high, only 2 people guiding, you are not even allowed to hand out a licorice. For small children 1 round for 14.50. Trail 5 is closed. Never again for us. (Original) Zeer matig en duur klimpark. Niet hoog, slechts 2 mensen begeleiding, een dropje mag je niet eens uitdelen. Voor kleine kinderen 1 rondje voor 14,50. Parcours 5 is gesloten. Voor ons nooit weer.
(Translated by Google) Had a very nice afternoon at Klimkong. Many challenging routes and very safe. Friendly staff who are happy to provide explanations and tips. It was a play paradise for my daughter. (Original) Erg leuke middag gehad bij klimkong. Veel uitdagende routes en zeer veilig. Vriendelijk personeel wat met plezier uitleg en tips geeft. Voor mijn dochter was het een speelparadijs.
(Translated by Google) Nice climbing forest with many parts! Doable for anyone who can climb a little. For more of a challenge I would go to their other location in Sevenum, there is a climbing park, so no forest, but more difficult. (Original) Leuk klimbos met veel onderdelen! Goed te doen voor iedereen die een beetje kan klimmen. Voor meer uitdaging zou ik naar hun andere locatie in Sevenum gaan daar is een klimpark, dus geen bos, maar wel moeilijker.
