Best place to experience Dutch water management technologies
The Kinderdijk UNESCO World Heritage site is a unique icon of seven centuries of Dutch water management. All phases of the history of our struggle against water are still visible here. The unique collection of 19 mills in an authentic Dutch landscape is a true eye catcher. With your ticket you'll have access to all visiting locations and tour boats for four hours. The Nederwaard Museum Mill shows how families lived and worked in our mills around 1900. At the Blokweer Museum Mill, you’ll experience what life was like in the fifties of last century. In the Overwaard Museum Mill and the adjacent education barn everything revolves around technology. Watch our multi-screen film in Secondary pumping station 'De Fabriek' and visit the historic Wisboom pumping station from 1868. Get on board of our tour boats and enjoy Kinderdijk from the water. Feel the wind, smell the water and listen to the sound of the windmills. The Kinderdijk World Heritage site is open almost the entire year!

Best place to experience Dutch water management technologies
Best place to experience Dutch water management technologies back in the day. These windmills are still in operation and would provide you all the information you need to understand how it works. The ticket price is around 18 euros which gives you access to everything there including two museum windmills , a video show, a boat ride.. etc. Allocate at least half a day to spend here. It is located in a windy area so it will be very chill. Bring your jackets. You could rent a bike also from here. But we felt walking and taking the boat ride is the best way to experience this place.

Great trip to Kinderdijk
Wonderful visit to Kinderdijk. The volunteers are so nice. Three recommendations… 1. The parking lot and bus shuttle is simple and makes it easy to get to the site. 2. Download the Kinderdijk app and highly recommend using and taking the 90min self tour on the app. It was very interesting and we learned so much. 3. Start the trip by taking the first bridge past the registration building and start at the building that offers a short video. The video provides information that is helpful to begin and enjoy Dutch humour.
