Middelburg in 1 day

If you only have 1 day to spend in Middelburg, we’ve narrowed down the top places you should check out to get the best experience of your time here.
Middelburg offers a well-preserved historic center with gabled houses, canals, and the striking late-Gothic town hall, reflecting its past as a powerful Dutch trading city. You can climb the Lange Jan tower of the former abbey complex for panoramic views over the town and surrounding Zeeland landscape. The city’s museums, such as the Zeeuws Museum, highlight regional maritime history and art. Its compact size, cafés, and proximity to Zeeland’s beaches make it an easy base for exploring both culture and coast.
With favorites like Prison island Middelburg, GlowGolf Middelburg, and Restaurantje Nummer 7, we’ll make sure you don’t miss out on all the must sees. We even included some of our favorite food spots around the area, like McDonald's and Restaurantje Nummer 7 so you can get the best taste of Middelburg while you’re here. To see our full list of food recommendations, check out our best restaurants post. If you're traveling on a budget, you can check out our cheap eats post.

Theme park
Nature & Parks
Parks
Mini Mundi is a fantastic destination for families with kids of all ages. The park features small-scale replicas of historic structures and offers a wide range of activities both indoors and outdoors. Children can enjoy carousels, trains, big slides, climbing areas, and an indoor playground designed for toddlers. The outdoor miniature village is particularly captivating for little ones to explore. Additionally, there are plenty of dining options available on-site.
What a fantastic place! We have visited a lot of similar places all over the Netherlands and this one is by far the best one. First of all- it is very clean! There are staff members cleaning it all the time. We could not believe that with that amount of people and wild children running around, this place is so amazingly maintaned. It looks like it was built yesterday. Also, there are so many activites that are very fun for small and bigger children. The staff is super friendly. This place is absolutely worth your money, unlike lots of other similar places.

Fun for kids upto 11. Expensive, particularly the food and drink, very slow service for food, waited over 30 minutes for fries and Tuna melt. Pic is of child potion of fries €2.40 plus extra for sauce. Staff, whilst English is great more interested in interacting with each other.
Kim D — Google review
Very poor service — you have to wait a long time for someone to come and open the attraction. While I was waiting, the staff member was walking around chatting with her friends and wasn’t in a hurry at all. She was also rude. I don’t recommend it! and very very dirty!!!!!!
Alex — Google review
Very nice and cosy play area. They have both indoor and outdoor options to kids to play. The food was great! It would be fun if more rides are added.
Hari P — Google review
Excellent fun park to visit with kids. Many outdoor activities such as rollercoaster, trampoline, playground,and miniature train. Also good indoor activities such as air-hockey, climbing wall and obstacle course.
Bert R — Google review
Some of the model are not very well maintained, and sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for a ride, but other than that, it's great fun. The kids had a great time. Definitely a comeback!
Calin M — Google review
We loved Mini Mundi so much that we've bought yearly subscription. Many attractions, however the best ones are outside so I definitely recommend to come when it is good weather. There is also a buffet inside - for snack it is ok, but for lunch I'd like to have more healthy options for kids.

It is suitable for children with the age 2 to 12.

Prison island Middelburg

4.2
(642)
Prison Island Middelburg offers a unique and engaging experience that combines elements of an escape room with physical challenges. The facility features various "cells," each containing its own puzzle to solve, ranging from climbing and teamwork tasks to riddles requiring critical thinking skills. Visitors can choose between different time slots to explore the challenges, making it suitable for families and groups.
Nice riddles, climbing, crawling, balance, also with young children 8+

They say that I must visit at weekend and I was coming from kwamhlanga and I didn't know that
Bonginkosi S — Google review
It's a nice place to go if you want to play some games with the family. Not really an escape room,, it's more like 20 different rooms with small puzzles and physical games. Some rooms were a little bit too narrow for adults, so if you're really tall you should watch out. Fun experience but nothing truly spectacular, expected more for the prize. If you're interested in a real escape room, this isn't the place to go.
Bastiaan M — Google review
Its a fun place but really expensive, especially when things arnt explained very well, your just left without knowing what to do and you only have limited time, the things you do understand get boring after 1 or 2 times. The place is good for birthday parties but i wouldn't go here again.
Poke B — Google review
Prison Island is not so much an island, but more so a puzzle dungeon. There are a few corridors with different 'cells'. Each cell has its own puzzle that you ought to solve. There are many different puzzles and each has its own unique way of solving it. Some involving climbing and physical exercise while others are focused on teamwork or critical thinking skills. You get to play either an hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours. It's very reasonably priced. The only caveat is that there is no explanation in the rooms and for some of the rooms it's very difficult to understand what you ought to do.
Vincent B — Google review
Very nice game, suggest to do 1,5 hours. 1 hour was a bit too short to try all the cells.
Didier R — Google review
It was nice. Not a traditional escape room as i had envisioned, but it was a nice experience nonetheless.

GlowGolf Middelburg

4.1
(862)
Miniature golf course
Theme park
GlowGolf Middelburg offers a unique mini-golf adventure at the lively leisure park Zep in Middelburg. Visitors can enjoy activities like hyper bowling and vibrant, colorful surroundings. While it's a great place for kids and group outings, some visitors noted that the staff may be short-handed at times. Overall, it's considered a fun experience for families, with a relatively short but entertaining visit of about 1-1.5 hours.
So beautiful so much fun and the colors are just awesome. Completely worth the trip to see all the animals make a day with the family. Good price and a good time all the way around.
Kathy M — Google review
Friendly staff, nice activities we liked the hyper bowling especially. When we were there they were a bit short staffed so not everything went as smooth as it could but it all worked out. Great place to take kids or go with a group of friends.
Daniël J — Google review
I tried the Glowgolf in Middelburg and have to say it was a fun experience! The neon light atmosphere was really unique and the staff was friendly. The golf course was okay, not exceptional but good enough for a fun night out with friends. I recommend giving it a try if you're looking for something different and fun to do!
Alessandro B — Google review
First time i came to this minigolf i was shown the door back out because i dint make an appointment. Second time i came with appointment i whas very disappointed. You need to make appointment to play here but still need to wayt 5 to 10 minutes to be capable to play at the next golf terain. The spaces between the golf courses where extremely small. It whaq warm because you had to wayt at tight spots wit 3 to 5 other groups to be capeble to play at the bext courses. The blacklight and paintings where nice. But not worth 9 euro's per person.
Michael V — Google review
Nice place to have fun also with kids. The intervall is very short so at the end it is entertainment for maybe 1-1.5 hours.
Rico S — Google review
Nice enough for a one-off if you're in the area but not worth driving out of your way for. Most of the 18 holes are too similar and uninspired. Only a few fun and challenging ones.
Bjorn H — Google review
Cool place, but the tracks are too simple. Not much variety in obstacles.
Arne D — Google review
Murky, but fun. Far too many people in and staff said it wasn't even their busy hours.

McDonald's

$$$$affordable
Hamburger restaurant
McDonald's, a renowned fast-food chain famous for its burgers and fries, prides itself on serving hot and delicious meals. Unlike some locations that may disappoint with cold food, McDonald's strives to meet the high standards set by the McDonald's brothers. It is also one of the few places in Zeeland where you can grab a warm meal after 22:00h. Consequently, it might be normal to encounter customers waiting on bicycles or on foot at the drive-thru queue.
Very good place. Clean toilets and dont have to pay!
Andrea F — Google review
Sadly not the first time they mess up an order... Instead of double burger I asked I got single, a friend asked for 2 cheeseburgers, they put only 1... the only thing they got from all order correct was 2 drinks and ice cream... to bad...

There is literally no meat in my cheeseburger. -_- I've worked at Burger King and have never forgotten to physically put the patty in the burger buns...

Good and clean McDonalds. When driving through the McDrive, the plastic lid on the coffee was not completely attached and came loose a bit so check before driving off.
Pascal W — Google review
Clean, fast , and the food was good. I ordered a meal through the touchscreen and took a seat. My meal was brought to me in 6 minutes. The only suggestions I would make is have a clear sign of where the bathrooms are and to fix the hand dryer in the mens bathroom. I would definitely eat here again for a quick bite :)

Had the most perfect date night with the surprise menu and paired wines. Even the songs matched our dishes! Excellent service Excellent food Excellent night. Thank you staff of Nummer 7.
Izzy H — Google review
Perfect four-course menu (thee, five and six are possible too, but four was just right: go for the fish), with good wine pairing (the main one with the fish, and the dessert one, were amazing). Good Armagnac, acceptable coffee, friendly service, adorable space, impressionist replicas of Flemish baroque on the walls. Beautiful light and fresh air. We had a lovely evening.
Jose V — Google review
Surprise menu with wine pairing. Cosy atmosphere and a very attentive staff. The food is great and I found the wine to be excellent. We hope to return again.
Stéphane N — Google review
The food is very good, but it took 40 minutes between dish and dish to serve them, which cuts all the vibes. For a 80+ EUR menú you expect a more agile service.
Mauro — Google review
What a wonderful evening we had here! Very attentive and friendly staff, great choice of wine. You can select from menu, surprise menu, or separate dishes. Great amuse, bread, coffee and tea (rich selection!) You pay what you came for, not over the top, not basic price. We will come back and recommend this place further.
Olga K — Google review
Quaint but marvellous little restaurant. We were welcomed by an easy-going and knowledgeable servitor, who offered us a wonderful cocktail as appetiser. The main course, a whole turbot with seaweed, was finger-licking good. The servitor unobtrusively saw to our needs during the whole dinner, suggesting splendid wine pairings, such as the gracious Mont Clas. Highly recommended - but do reserve in advance.
Clemens B — Google review
Great food with great wine to compliment each dish. 100% recommend if you are in Middelburg!!
