Kids will enjoy this place. Excellent miniature park with 7 additional attractions of Holland history. The entrance fee 26 euros is slightly on the higher side which prevents many to have a look at it

My son really enjoyed this place. The models of Holland were detailed, interesting and a lot were interactive. The park areas were also great. Brilliant for children of all ages.

I absolutely loved this place. The simulations were so amazing. I lo ed the historic stories told and the entire set up, is genius. A great place for kids but for adults alike.
