Top 33 things to do and attractions in Den Helder

Enjoyed a great visit to the Fort. Spent almost 2 hours here, though you can do it faster. Most signs are in Dutch and English and audio tour as well is a nice addition, which is included in the price. If you have kids quite a lot for them including the aquarium. Highly recommend a visit!

For €11, we got a ticket to the museum, aquarium and audio guide (English / Dutch). We spent perhaps 1.5 hours in the museum walking around and listening to all of the audio recordings, then about 45min in the aquarium. The fort is very interesting and has a lot to offer to those interested to know its history. And why Den Helder was an important part of the Netherlands’ history.

Great museum, both the fortress and the aquarium. Interesting and entertaining! Recommend.

This place is extremely informative about its history, not only the fort, but the area around. There is a small car park directly in front of the entrance. After entering and paying, there is a seating area/Café and souvenir shop. The actual museum begins one level lower, access via spiral staircase or using the lift provided. You need to make sure you have enough time to see and read all exhibits. There is a lot to see and take in. You can buy a combi ticket that includes the Atlantikwall museum virtually next door. It not only saves you money, its valid for 7 days, so no need to rush through your visit. Toilet facilities are in entrance lobby and in the lower area, behind the stairs. I can strongly recommend the museum, if you want to learn about the history; especially from the video interviews from people who lived there during WWII.

Fort Kijkduin is at a strategically important location and has quite some history. The museum offers lots of opportunities to get an impression of the war history around that place. You can walk in original bunkers, sit on anti air cannons, watch Napoleons battles or read about German occupation times. The aquarium which is also part of the museum shows local fish and you can even feed sharks there. There is a quiz available to keep the kids busy which worked very well. Highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my visit to the fort and the aquarium. The location is gorgeous and parking is free. I thought the displays in the fort were interesing, but I really loved the aquarium and all the information about the local fauna. Really interesting to see local fish and other sea life up close and personal, especially the rays. It was a great day out and I will definitely visit again.

Fort Kijkduin is a great museum which shows its importance of defence in the past. It tells you Dutch history. This is one great museum which one should never miss. Though it is in the west of Den Helder, it will take 30 min. to walk from train station Den Helder. I advise you to walk here because you can enjoy watching horses, sheep and lighthouse on the way. You can also come by bus 851 which will leave train station once per hour. The museum has weapons, military stuff, military model tanks and planes, documentary film, aquarium, etc to show you. The sole toilet is right in front of the cashier. After you buy the entry ticket, turn your head back and you will see it. All the other toilets in the museum are locked.

A fantastic place for all navy enthusiasts. The submarine is incredibly impressive and in excellent condition. Even the Persescope is functional🙂There are two other ships and lots of other navy-related items. There are also plenty of interactive activities, so it's also a good place for children.The tour takes about 2-3 hours. Getting to the museum is easy. There's parking, restrooms, and you can get coffee or tea on one of the ships.There is also a souvenir shop there and the museum staff is very nice.The ticket price is very good considering the time you spend there and what you see. It's a great place🙂

The Maritime Naval Museum was an amazing experience! It’s incredibly big and definitely one of the largest museums I’ve ever visited. Including a lunch break, it took us roughly six hours to get through all the displays. Luckily, we went on a day that wasn’t very busy, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The museum offers a rich history with so much to see and understand. It’s without a doubt one of the nicest museum experiences I’ve had. The only downside is that if you’re an English speaker, you may struggle with some of the content since the majority of the information is in Dutch. Here and there, you’ll find English displays or audio with English text, but overall it’s predominantly Dutch. My tip: bring your phone and use Google Translate to get the most out of the experience. Overall, highly recommended!

It's such a diverse and interesting museum that you could easily spend an entire day there. It's definitely worth a repeat visit. Submarine Tonijn (Tuna in English) gives a grand start and everything else is also excellent.

An excellent musuem, staff very helpful and friendly. Lot’s to learn about the history and very well presented. The visit to the ships and submarines was brilliant

The highlights of this interesting museum are the 2 ships and 1 submarine you can visit. The exhibitions are informative. You need ~3 hours to see everything.

Very interesting, the staff and personal on site friendly and open to talk and explain

An amazing museum! I strongly recommend it for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to spend some quality time in a positive atmosphere

Came here to celebrate an occasion with my elderly father who has been coming here since its early days. Friendly customer service, a modern and comfortable interior setting that offers many different seating areas with views as required. Overall, a great experience.

Really tasty food here and a lovely place to eat. Decent pint too

I wanted to come here just for a coffee to see the view. Luckily my sister and husband were staying here so great excuse! Lovely view and friendly staff, a really nice place to watch the ferry come and go. I didn't eat there but my family did and they said the food was great.

Very good experience at this restaurant! We were four and ordered different dishes. All of them were delicious and beautifully presented. The tomato soup was out of this world! Saved us from the cold windy evening.

A nice place to sit and have a drink or a meal with a great view. A great view of the ferries to Texel Island while we dine. The food is good with some nice choices. Its busy most days so making a reservation helps.

The view is really nice but that was about it. Floor and table were dirty, menu sticky. The melon lemonade tasted rather artificial. Chicken was very dry, drecched with a heavy peanut sauce. Fries were OK but with many black spots that should have been sorted out beforehand. Service was rather slow, focussed more on the outdoor guests with drinks.

Lovely spot for food and drinks by the beach!

This was a well organised but quick stop in the Port of Den Helder as we commenced our northern lights tour. It is quite a fascinating place with lots of interesting things for all ages. It offers virtual reality, lots of history of lifeboats and rescues, and a great experience in the wind turbine. There are other things to do such as trying the navigation games. All in all it is a very interesting, informative and enjoyable place to visit .

Interesting museum about work of rescue workers,their lifes and stories. Interactive well made exhibition with videos,things from rescuers,their medals,boats and equipment used. Really cool. I missed there were not some medals showed and some equipment should have English description but good in general. They also offer boat trips and you can enter signal ship. Friendly staff.

Great museum about the rescue efforts in the seas around Den Helder. Audio tours available in multiple languages and for adults or kids. Many boats on display and some to enter and pretend to sail, lots of interactive exhibits including a wind tunnel. Recommended

Wonderful museum with very lovely staff. We’ve been there on a Rainey day and our kids totally loved it - especially the chance to sit and walk on the boats

Nice and interesting place. Unfortunately, most experience reports were in Dutch only (without English subtitle). However, practical games did a lot of fun!

Fantastic museum! A lot of history and other interesting information regarding search and rescue operations at sea.

The receptionist spoke no English and no Dutch a 10 yo native Dutch child would comprehend. Half of the interactive stuff didn’t function. Loss of time.

I actually wanted to give ZERO stars... Discriminatory reception refused a five person group aged 32 to 38 to enter the camp site ALTHOUGH we have booked and paid our two nights stay three weeks up front via the official registration form on their website! The only two arguments were: 1) we are teenaged 2) we are a group of five person ... what the f*#k??? We then had to cancel our trip because of non-availibility of free camp spots close by.

(Translated by Google) We were there at the right time, the dunes were a brilliant red and purple in the sun. Hiking trails, lighthouses, beach and forts seen. All highly recommended. (Original) Wir waren zur rechten Zeit vor Ort, die Dünen standen in einem glänzenden rot und violett in der Sonne. Wanderwege, Leuchttürme, Strand und Festungen gesehen. Alles sehr zu empfehlen.

(Translated by Google) The dunes are truly beautiful. You can spot various animals, including birds and bison. There's no waiting time, and free parking is easily accessible nearby. This is a truly beautiful nature reserve to explore on foot. Highly recommended. (Original) Heel mooi met de duinen. Je kan verschillende soorten dieren spotten zoals diverse soorten vogels en bizons. Er is geen wachttijd en het is gratis parkeren kan ook makkelijk in de buurt. Dit is echt een heel mooi natuurgebied om door te lopen echt een aanrader om te bezoeken.

(Translated by Google) We hiked there with our dog #fridolinbags in April 2018. Forest, highlands Cattle, birds...... Wild horses?! Everything is there. Of course, it is compulsory to keep them on a leash in order to protect nature and its inhabitants. Definitely worth a hike. (Original) April 2018 dort mit unserem Hund #fridolinbeutlin gewandert. Wald, Hochland Rinder, Vögel...... Wildpferde?! Alles da. Natürlich ist dort Leinenpflicht um die Natur und deren Bewohner zu schützen. Auf jeden Fall eine Wanderung wert.

This place is historic with World War One artillery, bankers, restaurants, bars, body fitness centres, canal attached to the sea with an harbour for ships both locally and internationally. It’s also close to marine museum, Texel island ferry, North Sea, the municipal offices, marine base. You can walk through from one end to the other including going over a floating bridge, cycling path, campsite.

Excellent.lots to see and do.maritime museum is all of the docks with exhibits spread all around,plus if you have a camper van I paid €13 with out electric on my own toilets are clean,showers are good you can get fresh drinking water and get rid of grey water and waste.9

Great place to spend a few hours. Car parking across the road is free for 3 hours. Lots of cafes and museums, and an old shop wreck in a glass building.

It was a business trip but the docks and locations around them managed to surprise me. Lots of nice restaurants and bars, museums and most of all, many beautiful sailing boats and ships. Shame the weather was so poor. Den Helder is well worth the visit.

Interesting area of this town - we had a really nice lunch after exploring the Marine Museum there.

Nice area with restaurant and bar, ideal when weather is sunny

Not a really interesting place in winter. With the restaurants and terraces probably nicer in summer

(Translated by Google) This section of the Navy Museum houses several exhibition rooms, including some focused on the Navy of today and the future, including interactive games. The Hidden Treasures room displays a magnificent collection of historical objects. On the upper floor, you'll find various objects arranged chronologically. Be aware that a visit to the Navy Museum takes time. Depending on your prior knowledge, it can be quite intensive. Or you can choose to focus on a few themes. (Original) In dit gedeelte van het Marine museum bevinden zich meerdere tentoonstelling zalen, waaronder een aantal gericht op de Marine van nu en de toekomst, met bijvoorbeeld interactieve spellen. De zaal van de Verborgen schatten toont een prachtige collectie historische objecten. Op de verdieping ziet u allerlei voorwerpen op chronologische volgorde. Wees bewust dat een bezoek aan de Marinemuseum tijd vraagt. Afhankelijk van uw voorkennis, kan het vrij intensief zijn. Of u kunt kiezen om op een aantal thema's te focussen.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. You can try out a lot. (Original) Sehr empfehlenswert.man kann sehr viel ausprobieren.

(Translated by Google) An interesting and beautiful exhibition. There was a lot to try out for yourself, and you could go into the submarine as well as onto two ships. It's a very large space. On one of the ships, you could use the restroom and there was also a small restaurant, although unfortunately, you had to wait a long time for your snack. It was a shame that there was a fee for a German translation. Otherwise, it was an exciting trip for all ages. :) (Original) Eine interessante und schöne Ausstellung, es gab viel zum selbst ausprobieren und man konnte sowohl ins U-Boot als auch auf zwei Schiffe. Es ist dort sehr großflächig. Auf einem der Schiffe konnte man auf die Toilette und dort war auch ein kleines Restaurant, leider musste man dort sehr lange auf sein Snack warten. Schade war nur, dass eine deutschsprachige Übersetzung kostenpflichtig war. Ansonsten war es ein spannender Ausflug für gross und klein. :)

A nice, old fort on the sea. Great views and a little bit of history. Visited the site with my aunts and uncles. It was enjoyable, and because we were visiting other sites in the area, it was worth the stop. Not sure if you would want to come to this fort if this were the only thing you wanted to visit in the area.

Biggest historical fort off the Nederlands

😍

Not a very nice place

This is great place

(Translated by Google) Fort Erfprins is located in the Dutch city of Den Helder. It is approximately 49 hectares in size, making it the largest fortress in the Netherlands. You can visit the fort under certain conditions. Since it is a military area, not all parts are open to the public. The fort is used as a naval and training center. I myself only admired this fortress from the outside, on a neighboring dam. From up here, the dimensions of this fortress really become apparent. (Original) Fort Erfprins liegt in der niederländischen Stadt Den Helder. Es hat eine Größe von ca. 49 Hektar und  ist somit die größte Festung der Niederlande. Man kann das Fort unter gewissen Voraussetzungen besuchen. Da es ein militärischer Bereich ist, sind aber nicht alle Teile für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Das Fort wird als Marine und Ausbildungszentrum genutzt. Ich selbst habe diese Festung nur von außen, auf einem benachbarten Damm bestaunt. Von hier oben, werden die Ausmaße dieser Festung erst so richtig ersichtlich.

(Translated by Google) The complex is worth seeing, beautifully presented and the aquarium is also absolutely worth visiting (Original) Sehenswerte Anlage, schön präsentiert auch das Aquarium absolut lohnenswert zu besuchen

(Translated by Google) Nice church and I recently became a member. Lots of singing and there are also many young people. This community is very lively. (Original) Fijne kerk en ik ben sinds kort lid geworden. Veel zingen en er zijn ook veel jongeren. Deze gemeente is zeer levendig.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, good service Only the temperature was very low. (Original) Mooie kerk ,goede dienst Alleen de temperatuur was erg laag.

One spectacular place. Light house anf fort on one side and sea on the other.

It's more beautiful from a distance than up close. Unfortunately, it was during the day, it's better to come in the evening. Fits beautifully into the landscape

Iconic place. It is an active lighthouse and considered one of the tallest traditional lighthouses of the world. Currently inaccessible inside for visitation because of safety reasons, but you can still see it from afar (or get closer).

A wonderful place to be! Such a serene place. And Lange Jaap, of course. One of the prettiest in my lighthouses collection :)

Definitely a place to bring the family to on off-days. Also considering you check out the seaside and horse range. It's all-around pretty and a healthy way to spend an hour or two.

Just a pity currently that it is having some repairs, but always worth a visit!

It's a very cozy little town for a weekend getaway. One hour of walking and you're on the north edge of the Netherlands mainland

(Translated by Google) Fine furniture boulevard, nothing special. Lots of parking spaces (Original) Prima meubelboulevardje niks bijzonders. Veel parkeerplaatsen

(Translated by Google) A large industrial estate/park with many companies and shops for all kinds of things and ample parking everywhere. (Original) Een groot industrieterrein/-park met heel veel bedrijven en winkels voor van alles en nog wat en ruime parkeergelegenheid overal.

(Translated by Google) Enough to build (Original) Genoeg om te bouwen

(Translated by Google) Was a bit boring! (Original) Was een beetje saai!

(Translated by Google) Okay (Original) Oké

Very small shopping center that closes early. Not many shops, and some of them are not operating. It can potentially improve a lot with a better management.

A spacious street adorned with a plethora of shopping opportunities on either side, creating a vibrant atmosphere enriched with diverse shopping and dining choices. The availability of parking adds convenience, although it's worth noting that there is a time limit on parking. Overall, a lively and bustling location for those seeking a variety of retail and culinary experiences.

Completely dead, probably used to be great but now it's just a hallway with barely any shops. Might as well not go in, there's nothing there anymore.

Great location in city center near public transport (bus and train). The mall is not too large, and unfortunately, most of the interior shops have disappeared, leaving many empty windows. It is clean and tidy.

Free parking for 3 hours... but one half of shopping Space is closed or for rent. The nearby City center as well... But lovely decorated with clear Police presence and a great fully-roofed-ice-area.. If you have plenty of Time you should visit the nearby Marine Museum... (espacilly in Winter)

pretty much all usual mall stores but with an absolutely heavenly cheese store ( on the outer side of the mall. next to the grocery store). perfect to stock up on different types of Gouda, specialty oils and vinegars and a few interesting choices of alcohol.

Nice small shopping mall. good temperature in summer and winter. Has almost any store you need for daily products

The restaurant was ok, in my opinion it was trying to look expensive / fancy while it wasn't. The food was nice, and the hot chocolate was brought to our table quite fast and tasted good. I think the service could of been a bit faster but they were nice enough. I really think they should of stuck to the basics with the presentation of things to be honest, instead of a simple white plate the food was brought on either a wooden plank or a plastic plate with some or other design that was supposed to make it look like wood, which made the plates seem very cheap. Overall I would recommend this place to eat at, but they should really get rid of all the plastic stuff.

A total disappointment… but with a great view My partner and I went to this place really excited to try it, but unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing from the start. We had to wait 1 hour and 45 minutes for the food to arrive. In fact, we were about to leave the parking lot when my partner asked why it was taking so long—and just then, the food finally came out. We ordered loaded fries, crispy chicken, sweet and spicy ribs, and pesto bread. Sadly, none of it was fresh. Everything tasted old, like it had been reheated several times. The only thing that was somewhat decent was the crispy chicken. Then we ordered avocado sushi, gyozas, enchiladas, and a burger. The sushi was nothing special—just rice with a tiny bit of avocado inside. The gyozas didn’t taste good, the burger was raw in the middle, and the enchiladas were greasy. The plating didn’t help either. It looked like the chef had given up—cheap supermarket chips and a few random veggies thrown on the plate to add some “green.” The only redeeming quality was the amazing view, which truly is beautiful. But honestly, it’s not worth the long wait or the poor food quality.

Very nice and cozy place to grab a bite and have a drink. Amazing view. Friendly service. Plenty of bites and sandwiches but there are some nice choices for main course as well. Tasty local beers on tap and good house wines. We had toasts with fries and were very happy with both. Prices are more than ok.

The food was alright. The staff was really friendly although it took just a little long for our order to arrive but it was not too bad. Teh atmosphere is really nice and the restaurant was really clean.

Cool Location, excellent food, nice atmosphere and very friendly waiters. Unfortunately we had no time for a second dinner. Worth a stay

Had a bike tour from julianadorp to den helder - our goal was this restaurant ✌🏻 the quesadillas was so delicious! Want to eat this tomorrow again 😍 Restaurant is such a lovely interior Place and the view of the sea is amazing!

Had a lovely cheesecake and a cappuccino on the terrace. Unfortunately, at this time of year, there is no waiting service outside, so I had to order inside and take it out myself. Not really a big deal, but no full marks 😉 there's a lovely view of the sea, dike and dunescape from this place. The cheesecake is pleasantly unsweetened, which I appreciate a lot 😋

We had a tent pitching area with a friend of ours...it was beautiful. It is worth every penny, very dog friendly...you can take your pup almost everywhere....the beach was a little further down the road where there is a car park and you have to walk a little hill and then you are at the beach....super clean everywhere including the beach

Past 5 years we were frequent guests and always delighted of t'Noorder Sandt's professional standards but this year we were shocked of the huge amount of fouling dogs. Among others we watched someone letting her dog wee in front of a tent's entrance just opposite her own camping spot. Disgusting!!! Dogs can't be blamed but selfish and careless dog Owners.

Nice camping, big quite and with good facilities, unfortunately the service is not so good. So much advertised WI-FI works as in 1995 you can't do anything, a bit disappointing for the price and the stars and compared with other camping Not very clean: the chemical WC was always dirty and the disinfectant (required by corona rules) was empty. it was not even cleaned on saturday morning. It is not clear where to put waste no good signage and missing plastic waste bin. Reception is missing, when we arrived reception was closed and was very long to get in contact with someone to do check-in. Overall a good facility but the service is lacking

This is a very nice, clean camp site. We spent a week here in 2015 and enjoyed it a lot. It can get a little noisy in the evening but that is part and parcel of being on a largish campsite. The washing facilities are amazingly clean thanks to the little South American cleaning lady (no names mentioned here) and her husband who not only ensure the highest level of cleanliness possible, but do so with a smile. We had wifi in the caravan and were even able to enjoy Californication on Netflix. Great site - worth a visit! Go there.

Went with family for a couple of days, but had to move to another camping. Owner started screaming one of our kids was too noisy. We weren't even there when supposed noise should have happened, however it was impossible to reason with other. Most bizarre thing was that she confided with us that she always find Germans annoying and that it was good that we left. This while we aren't even German 😑

The best place for family camping. Clean. Friendly. Super location. Lots to do and a wonderful indoor pool. My children refused to leave and insist we return next summer.

Nice site, pity bus service outside camp isn't running, we could have saved ourselves a wait if we had been informed by reception. WiFi is beyond abysmal on our pitch(23), no coffee in bar in evenings.

The park was a pleasant surprise. Great sculptures in a pleasant landscape. The old bunkers from WW2 make it an exciting place for kids as well.

Breathtaking place. All pieces of art played with colors, music, steam and fire. That place gave me plenty of associations and thoughts during and afterwards observing. Excursion was on Dutch language but after discovering the masterpieces you can grab a drink and check the documental movie with English subtitles inside the cafeteria on a territory.

I loved it. So interesting and beautiful. We were very lucky with the weather and the time of the year. The works of art outside were looking stunning against the bright blue sky, yellow house and haze of green over the trees. The

With a tour - is only possibility to get inside BUT they have no tour in English ! And it is so pity. Do not go to this “ in the middle of nowhere” if you are not native! Not recommend! P.S. we asked to translate couple of time but our favor was denied! The tour guide didn’t even wanted to translate the name of statues to English ! Only phrase we heard from her : “ do not touch this”. Very rude ! If you don’t want to do like audio guide or etc, do at lest small plates in both languages- Dutch and English (like all the museums do!)

Had a great guided tour. Really appreciated the effort of everyone in the group to translate for us in English Stunning place.

An incredible experience with a fair price and an even more incredible story! Don't miss it starting June 2021 (don't forget to set up the appointment ahead!)

Very impressive site integrating art objects and land shaped accordingly.

So, ok, it should have been a 5 star review, but when you have got 1 week of extreme bad wheather during your summer holiday and you are stuck with 4 kids in a cabin on the beach and you are paying a lot of money, then there is just 1 conclusion for us, never again. Just a wake up call for any family, the wheather makes or breakes this experience.

Prices don't reflect the value of the beach house. 2500 euro's a week in the summer, still 900 euro's in the autumn, not during a holiday. These things contribute to the perceived lack of value and quality: - Rain can come in through the top of the doors. This is a known problem but appearantly not something that is fixed. You can get some towels and that's it. - No dishwasher. I don't mind doing dishes but for something that costs 2500 euro's a week in the summer... - Not much decoration, not a cozy place - When we arrived, looking from the inside through the windows, outside looked like a blur. My holiday started with cleaning the windows. Again, it's a beach house that costs 2500 euro's in the summer :/ - The upstairs beds are really only accessible for not too old people without physical problems. - During this month the beach house easily get's 30 degrees celsius in the sun within a couple of hours when you're gone doing something and the doors are closed. Let alone what the temperature in the summer would be. - The door of the kitchen came loose - Only a microwave, not a combination with an oven - No doormat....in a beach house. - When you pay this much money it's a bit unreal when only 1 piece of luggage per person is transfered to the beach house. It's just so insanely expensive for what you get. I really expected decent maintainenance and a bit more luxury and quality. The spot however was wonderful. We had a wonderful short autumn holiday. The personel on the floor was helpful.

A bit pricy. The huts are super nice and you can't beat the location!

First unfriendly person I have ever met in the Netherlands works here. Excellent staffing 👌

Nice place to relax and enjoy the beach. I would recommend when you are booking a bungalow , take one in the middle, bc at the beach beginning and at the end there are a lot of day tents from other visitors. It will get very crowdy

Perfect place for families.

(Translated by Google) The location directly by the sea is beautiful. The facilities and cleanliness are good. The check-in and supervision, the bread roll service, and the friendliness of the staff are all excellent. Only the two beds for our "big" children were a bit low and very warm. Overall, we had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. (Original) Die Lage direkt am Meer ist wunderschön. Ausstattung und Sauberkeit sind gut. Anmeldung und Betreuung, der Brötchenservice und die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter sind sehr gut. Nur die zwei Schlafplätze für unsere "großen" Kinder waren etwas niedrig und sehr warm. Insgesamt hatten wir einen wunderschönen und erholsamen Urlaub.

Very fine beers. Great burgers. Awesome waiter who takes pride in knowing what he serves and getting you what you’ll like most.

Great place for beer. I think the food was not som great. Had the mixed grill, a little to little food. But beers where great.

This is a rare place, very nice and layed back. If you are a toruist its hard to find but a must to visit if you are in Den helder. I Dident have time for food so cant say anything about that but will come back to try it.

Awesome place ! Yummy burger 🍔! Good beer 🍺! We will come back :) I really loved the macho topping on my burger.

Great food,beer and service! Highly recommend!

Nice place to be and the people are great 👍

Prima restaurant.

We wanted to visit it at the same time as the Fort but it was closed.

Great information about the Atlantic wall built under Hitler, interesting posters

I was surprised, though small this is a very well thought out and presented museum

Near the dunes a informative museum.

(Translated by Google) Small but nice museum about the Atlantic Wall. I found the explanation about the bunker manual that was used during the Second World War by Nazi Germany very interesting and which explains why you encounter many of the same bunkers. The photos and construction drawings of the various bunkers are nicely organized. Ticket price can be combined with Fort Kijkduin. Museum card is not accepted. (Original) Klein maar leuk museum over de Atlantikwall. Erg interessant vond ik de uitleg over het bunkerhandboek dat werd gebruikt tijdens de tweede wereld oorlog door nazi Duitsland en verklaard waarom je veel de zelfde bunkers tegen komt. De foto's en bouwtekeningen van de verschillende bunkers zijn mooi geordend. Ticket prijs is te combineren met fort Kijkduin. Museumkaart wordt niet geaccepteerd.

(Translated by Google) If you are interested in the subject of the Atlantic Wall and World War II, you have come to the right place. The exhibition is located in the former administration building of the German Navy. Small but very interestingly designed, partly interactive exhibition, with some original exhibits and digital eyewitness reports from Den Helder. Many models and explanations of the different types of bunkers on the Atlantic Wall. However, the entrance fee (€8) is quite high compared to other museums nearby for the small exhibition, but acceptable. There are free parking spaces directly in front of the building. Some bunkers (crown bunkers) can be found in the surrounding area. All in all, a worthwhile visit. Especially with 🌧️😉 (Original) Wen das Thema Atlantikwall und 2. Weltkrieg interessiert, der ist hier genau richtig. Ausstellung befindet sich im ehemaligen Verwaltungsgebäude der deutschen Marine. Kleine aber sehr interessant gestaltete, teils interaktive Ausstellung, mit einigen Original Exponaten und digitalen Zeitzeugenberichten aus Den Helder. Viele Modelle und Erklärungen zu den verschiedenen Bunkertypen des Atlantikwalls. Allerdings, ist der Eintritt (8,-€) im Verhältnis zu anderen Museen in der Nähe, für die kleine Ausstellung, recht hoch aber akzeptabel. Kostenfreie Parkplätze gibt es direkt vorm Gebäude. Einige Bunker (Kronenbunker) sind in der näheren Umgebung zu finden. Alles in allem, lohnenswerter Besuch. Besonders bei 🌧️😉

(Translated by Google) Not very extensive, but still a surprising amount of information presented in a modern way. Although much of it was already familiar to me, I was also confronted with some things I hadn't known. (Original) Niet heel groot, maar toch verrassend veel informatie op een moderne manier gepresenteerd. Hoewel veel mij al bekend was werd ik ook geconfronteerd met enkele zaken die mij niet bekend waren.

Prima bunker

(Translated by Google) A relic from the Second World War, in the middle of the beautiful nature reserve of Huisduinen. There are other bunkers in the immediate vicinity. If you're interested, it's a little highlight on a walk through the dune landscape. (Original) Ein Relikt aus dem 2. Weltkrieg, mitten im schönen Naturschutzgebiet von Huisduinen. In der unmittelbarer Nähe gibt es weitere Bunker. Wen es interessiert, ist es ein kleines Highlight bei einem Spaziergang durch die Dünenlandschaft.

(Translated by Google) Once a year, it's Bunker Day, and the bunkers are open to the public. We happened to catch that day and visited some of the bunkers. It was interesting to delve a little deeper into the history and see the bunkers from the inside. (Original) Ein Mal im Jahr ist Bunkertag und die Bunker sind zugänglich. Wir haben den Tag zufällig erwischt und haben uns einige Bunker angesehen und es war interessant in die Geschichte etwas weiter einzutauchen und die Bunker von innen zu sehen

(Translated by Google) Nice to see it. But there's no information board or anything like that. That would be great. The surrounding nature reserve is absolutely fantastic, and you're right in the dunes! (Original) Nett den mal gesehen zu haben. Aber keine Info Tafel oder ähnliches. Das wäre super. Das Naturschutzgebiet drum herum ist absolut toll und man ist direkt in den Dünen!

(Translated by Google) The "kroontjes bunker" is a strange appearance among all the bunkers. A bunker of which part is clearly visible above ground, while most bunkers do not stand out in the landscape or are completely underground. From Fort Kijkduin, the bunker can be recognized in the distance and it looks as if it is wearing a crown. When you get closer, the "crown" appears to be formed by diagonally protruding concrete parts. There appears to be a whole complex of bunkers underground. Even parts of brick masonry arches are visible, from a probably older underground residence. Volunteers work hard to keep the bunker presentable and preserve its history for posterity. This unique bunker is opened on an irregular basis, such as the "Open Bunker Day" and "Open Monument Day" It is a pity that the bunker has been badly defaced with graffiti by the "youth". (Original) De "kroontjes bunker" is een vreemde verschijning tussen alle bunkers. Een bunker waarvan een deel duidelijk bovengronds te zien is, terwijl de meeste bunkers niet opvallen in het landschap of geheel ondergronds liggen. Vanaf Fort Kijkduin is in de verte de bunker te herkennen en lijkt het alsof deze een kroon draagt. Dichterbij gekomen blijkt de "kroon" gevormd door schuin uitstekende betondelen. Ondergronds blijkt een heel complex van bunkers te liggen. Zelfs delen van gemetselde bogen uit bakstenen zijn zichtbaar, van een waarschijnlijk oudere ondergrondse verblijfplaats. Er wordt door vrijwilligers hard gewerkt om de bunker toonbaar te houden en de geschiedenis te bewaren voor het nageslacht. Onregelmatig is er een openstelling van deze unieke bunker, zoals met de "Open Bunker dag" en "Open Monumenten dag" Heel jammer is dat de bunker door de "jeugd" lelijk beklad is met graffiti.

(Translated by Google) Bunker complex located in the middle of the nature reserve. Nice quiet location and lots of beautiful nature to hike. There are plenty of photo opportunities including wild horses and bison. (Original) Mitten im Naturschutzgebiet gelegene Bunkeranlage. Schöne ruhige Lage und viel schöne Natur zum erwandern. Fotomotive sind reichlich vorhanden incl. Wildpferde und Bison's.

(Translated by Google) The volunteers have restored the bunker to almost its original state. And they tell the story with great passion. Very interesting. (Original) De vrijwilligers hebben hebben de bunker bijna in originele staat terug gebracht. En ze vertellen met veel passie. Heel interessant.

It's a beautiful garden with lots of different plants and flowers, including exotic plants and flowers. I find the place to be relaxing and calming. Additionally, the staff is friendly. Definitely I will come back again.

This small botanical garden in the middle of a residential neighborhood is a haven of tranquility, perfect for a leisurely Sunday stroll. It contains a succulents greenhouse, a palmtree greenhouse, a butterfly nursery and a surprisingly large Japanese inspired garden. During the summer season you can get coffee and small snacks on both inside and outside terraces.

I've been here twice now, and it's for-sure a really nice place! Even though it's a bit small, it's packed with so many interesting plants that you can easily spend hours looking at them all. The butterfly house is always fun, too. 🥰

One of the loveliest places in Den Helder! Quiet, green, and welcoming! Beside the large number of plant species, you can see butterflies, fish, turtles, birds, and probably many others. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Worth more than a visit!

It was awesome, there are many beautiful flowers and a nice garden. Stuff was friendly and there were a lot of different animals like turtles, kois and butterflies And the entrance fee is with 5€ pP very nice

Beautiful flowers, cactussen and plants. And the butterflies were huge and beautiful! Thanks for a wonderful experience.

very well cared for place, where you can go to observe plants, flowers and butterflies in a very relaxing atmosphere. Loved it

The room is nice & cosy , we arrive to check in it was a teenager boy called NUNO and the girl was very helpful & good manners but the boy was very rude & not helpful at all , its march so it cold the heating doesn’t not go above 13 c i think its controlled by the receptionist via wifi it was cold at night 3 c so we couldn’t not increase it . To check out the boy was even rude than the check in , really bad attitude or racist or maybe the owner son thats why he is acting badly & not helpful . Keep nuno away from the reception keep the smiling helpful girl Nuno not good for business.

Campsite with approx 400 places, lots of things to do, close to the North sea.

Every time I've been there it was very good

This was incredibly beautiful from the inside than when you see it from outside. There is a bar, spacious, restrooms, jackets drawers or lockers. Amazing customer service!

Very accomedating, great areas for all kinds of things. Def enjoyed ourselves doing a recording

Nice food but don't show up late . Last service 20.00

Great place for concerts, theater, meetings and presentation. New, clean and well organized

A must visit if you are in Den Helder. Great bar, beautifully redesigned one-time maritime building, and awesome staff.

Beautiful!

So much fun. Good people. Drinks affordable

The park was a pleasant surprise. Great sculptures in a pleasant landscape. The old bunkers from WW2 make it an exciting place for kids as well.

Breathtaking place. All pieces of art played with colors, music, steam and fire. That place gave me plenty of associations and thoughts during and afterwards observing. Excursion was on Dutch language but after discovering the masterpieces you can grab a drink and check the documental movie with English subtitles inside the cafeteria on a territory.

I loved it. So interesting and beautiful. We were very lucky with the weather and the time of the year. The works of art outside were looking stunning against the bright blue sky, yellow house and haze of green over the trees. The

With a tour - is only possibility to get inside BUT they have no tour in English ! And it is so pity. Do not go to this “ in the middle of nowhere” if you are not native! Not recommend! P.S. we asked to translate couple of time but our favor was denied! The tour guide didn’t even wanted to translate the name of statues to English ! Only phrase we heard from her : “ do not touch this”. Very rude ! If you don’t want to do like audio guide or etc, do at lest small plates in both languages- Dutch and English (like all the museums do!)

An incredible experience with a fair price and an even more incredible story! Don't miss it starting June 2021 (don't forget to set up the appointment ahead!)

Had a great guided tour. Really appreciated the effort of everyone in the group to translate for us in English Stunning place.

Very impressive site integrating art objects and land shaped accordingly.

(Translated by Google) The National Monument to the Rescue Service. This monument commemorates all rescuers at sea who tried to save the lives of drowning people, at the risk and stake of their own lives. An extremely noble thought and selfless effort. The memorial was built of brick in 1934. The monument was put into use on June 4, 1935 when it was unveiled of memorial stone of Prince Hendrik by Queen Juliana. Prince Hendrik was patron of the Rescue Service and the husband of Queen Wilhelmina. The monument and associated park were designed by architect Piet Kramer. The memorial needle is an example of the "Amsterdam School" movement, both culturally and architecturally. The structure is not done justice when people think of a menhir. The brick base and tower feature natural stone accents and sculpted elements. The bottom is made up of layers of multiple heights and sizes, which are supposed to represent waves. On top of this is a tapering 15 meter high tower. A large bronze crown has been placed on top of the tower. Under the crown, there is a recess in which a carillon is placed. The Carillon has 49 clocks (30 older and 19 modern clocks) plus a gaming table and a gaming machine. (Original) Het Nationaal Monument voor het Reddingswezen. Met dit monument worden alle redders op zee herdacht, die drenkelingen probeerden het leven te redden, met gevaar en inzet van eigen leven. Een enorm Nobele gedachte en belangeloze inzet. Het gedenkteken is uit baksteen opgetrokken in 1934. Het monument is in gebruik genomen 4 juni 1935 door de onthulling van gedenksteen van Prins Hendrik door Koningin Juliana. Prins Hendrik was beschermheer van het Reddingswezen en de man van Koningin Wilhelmina. Het monument en bijbehorend park is ontworpen door architect Piet Kramer. De gedenknaald is zowel Cultuurtechnisch als Architectonisch een voorbeeld van de stroming "De Amsterdamse School". Het bouwwerk wordt tekort gedaan als mensen aan een menhir denken. De bakstenen bodem en toren zijn voorzien van natuurstenen accenten en gebeeldhouwde elementen. De bodem is opgebouwd uit lagen van meerdere hoogtes en groottes, die golven moeten voorstellen. Daarbovenop staat een taps toelopende 15 meter hoge toren. Geheel bovenop de toren, is een grote Bronzen kroon aangebracht. Onder de kroon, is een uitsparing waarin een Beiaard ofwel Carillon is geplaatst. Het Carillon telt 49 klokken (30 oudere en 19 moderne klokken) plus een speeltafel en een speelautomaat.

(Translated by Google) The water tower in Den Helder is visible from afar and is in the immediate vicinity of the main train station there. It was one of the first water towers built in the Netherlands. It was built in the city in 1908. In 1959 its red bricks were covered with a layer of gray concrete. It should therefore be considered modern and visible. Fortunately, this was changed again in 2005. The cement layer was removed and the red bricks became visible again. So the tower was back in its original optical shape. (Original) Der Wasserturm von Den Helder ist schon vom weiten sichtbar und liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe zum dortigen Hauptbahnhof. Er gehörte mit zu den ersten Wassertürmen die in den Niederlanden gebaut wurden. Er wurde im Jahre 1908 in der Stadt erbaut. Im Jahre 1959 wurden seine roten Ziegeln mit einer grauen Betonschicht überdeckt. Damit sollte er als modern gelten und sichtbar sein. Zum Glück wurde dies im Jahre 2005 wieder geändert. Die Zementschicht wurde entfernt und die roten Ziegel wurden somit wieder sichtbar. Somit war der Turm wieder in seiner optischen Ursprungsform.

(Translated by Google) The Den Helder monument. What you see as you enter the city is this beautiful water tower, built in 1907 and restored in 1957 and designed in 2005 by Jan Schott. This is the image of Den Helder and holds a special place in the hearts of all beachcombers. It's definitely worth a visit. (Original) Het monument van Den Helder. Wat je ziet als je de stad binnenkomt is deze erg mooie watertoren gebouwd in het jaar 1907 en gerestaureerd in 1957 en 2005 ontworpen door Jan schotel. Dit is het beeld van Den Helder en zit in alle jutters hun hart zeker een aanrader om langs te lopen.

(Translated by Google) The water tower is an important landmark in Den Helder. In 1856, one of the first water towers in the Netherlands was built in Den Helder; cast iron and open. In 1908, this cast iron water tower was replaced by a closed brick tower. In the 1960s there was a building movement that everything had to be modern, sleek and made of concrete. The old water tower was provided with a shotcrete layer on the outside. A sleek concrete case that certainly did not look nice. In 2005, the water tower was neatly restored and almost returned to its original state. Fortunately, there are few high-rise buildings in the area, because with even more apartment buildings this water tower would be a mockery. Now a proud monument. A stark contrast to the nearby (horrid 1960s) station and the ugly colossus of a 1960s post office. (Original) De watertoren is een belangrijk herkenningspunt in Den Helder. In 1856 werd in Den Helder (één van de eerste watertorens van Nederland gebouwd; gietijzer en open) In 1908 is deze gietijzeren watertoren vervangen door een gemetselde dichte toren . In de jaren 60 was er een bouwstroming dat alles modern, strak en van beton moest zijn. De oude watertoren werd aan de buitenzijde van een spuitbetonnen laag voorzien. Een strak betonnen geval dat er beslist niet mooi uitzag. In 2005 is de watertoren keurig gerestaureerd en bijna in originele staat teruggebracht. Gelukkig is er weinig hoogbouw in de buurt, want met nog meer flatgebouwen zou deze watertoren een aanfluiting zijn. Nu een trots monument. Een schril contrast met het dichtbij staande (afgrijselijke jaren60) station en de lelijke kolos van een postkantoor uit de jaren 60.

(Translated by Google) This is the only casino I like to visit. Whether you win or lose. Because you can win and lose everywhere. I think the atmosphere is much better than Cape Holland. And I have NEVER been there since 2019. I'm told that terrible people work there now. So I'll just go to Flamingo Den Helder alone. Win or lose. (Original) Dit is de enige casino waar ik graag kom. Of je nou wint of verliest. Want overal kan je winnen en verliezen. Vind de sfeer veel beter dan Cape Holland. En daar ben ik al vanaf 2019 NOOIT meer geweest. Vreselijke mensen die daar nu werken heb ik me laten vertellen. Dus ik ga gewoon alleen naar Flamingo Den Helder. Winnen of verliezen.

(Translated by Google) Friendly and hospitable employees. Game offerings mainly consisted of some video screens, fruit machines and roulette. Unfortunately, black jack tables or video screens are not available. The furnishings look clean and neat. Great experience, the only downside is the game selection.
