5.0 Fietsverhuur: Rent A Bike Lelystad (24 reviews)
- Highly recommended!

Very professional service throughout, seemless booking process and very good bikes. Couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided by Serkan. He was also very flexible and understanding when I made a mistake in the initial booking and was no hassle to change our booking last-minute. Definitely strongly recommended. The battery of the ebike we rented also lasted a lot longer than other ones we have rented at other places. Five stars thoughout! See more..
5.0 PBY-5A Catalina (17 reviews)
- Unique in Europe - Fly in a flying boat
Taxis & Shuttles • Air Tours

An unforgettable experience that you can't do anywhere else! Fly in a 1941 Catalina Flying Boat, and experience landing on water as well as land. A great afternoon, starting with an induction and safety brief, followed by boarding the vintage aircraft for a flight over the Ijsselmeer, including touchdowns on the water. You can enjoy the views from the huge observation bubbles or over the pilot's shoulder. On return to Lelystad, a debrief and a chance for discussion with the pilots and ground crew about this historic aircraft. Totally worth the money for this unique experience. Must be booked in advance on the website: http://www.catalina-pby.nl/ See more..
5.0 SimCenter (9 reviews)
- Een echte piloten ervaring.
Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Air Tours

Geweldig om te vliegen in deze full-motion Boeing 737-800 vlucht simulator, waarin echte gezagvoerders hun opleiding krijgen of bijhouden.
Het is een bijzonder gevoel om het vliegtuig over de startbaan te voelen denderen en optrekken. De simulator beweegt wel maar blijft op zijn plek staan en toch voel je (imitatie) G-krachten. Met begeleiding van een instructeur kan je op alle vliegvelden ter wereld starten en landen. Wij deden Bali, St. Maarten en het oude vliegveld Kai Tak in Hong Kong die je met een scherpe bocht moet aanvliegen. Ronduit spectaculair. See more..

A beautiful exhibition about the start of flying to flying into space. Lots of airplanes on display like a Lockheed Constellation or a Boeing 747 (outside). Many volunteers who worked at airlines can tell you lovely stories about the planes or the work they have done. It looks us around 3 hours to see the exhibition with a small break at the restaurant.

4.5 Natuurpark Lelystad (211 reviews)
- Great day!
Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas

Had a great day here, we rented their bicycles as the park is quite large. First we saw the village where people are recreating how people used to live including straw houses, very gardens etc. Than we did the full circle by bicycle and saw many animals. So many storks with young. We had coffee and cake in the restaurant. Great day out. See more..
4.5 Wooning Aviation (45 reviews)
- Pa vliegt
Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Private Tours • Air Tours

Mijn vader had vorig jaar een half uurtje gevlogen bij een andere aanbieder. Het voordeel was dit jaar dat de piloot, de Haas, niet uitgebreid het vliegtuig ging bespreken maar direct met het vliegen begon. Een leuke sympathiek instructeur die goed weet door te pakken. Mijn vader heeft genoten.
Jammer genoeg was niet geheel duidelijk hoe de organisatie om zou gaan met het verzetten van afspraken. Stel dat iemand op de dag die in de agenda staat zich niet lekker voelt. Kan de afspraak dan nog verzet worden ? Het is tenslotte een behoorlijk bedrag dat je er voor neertelt. Maar zo werd verteld: omdat het om een boeking gaat via een tussenpersoon konden zij daar ook niet erg duidelijk over zijn. Die tussenpersoon deed soms wel eens moeilijk over het verzetten van afspraken. Dit kwam mij een beetje vreemd over. Het telefonisch onderhoud verliep wat stroever dan ik had verwacht. Dat liep bij de concurrent heel wat beter. See more..
4.5 Agora (38 reviews)
- Not a great cinema
Tuesday: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM Theatre & Performances

4.5 Marker Wadden (24 reviews)
- Wow! Paradijsje ...
Nature & Wildlife Areas

Met Natuurmonumenten op pad. Boot vooraf online gereserveerd (driemaster zeilschip) om 10 uur vertrokken van Batavia haven. 1 uur later op dit paradijsje: lekker wandelen, heel veel vogels, bloemen, zee, strand! Het was prachtig weer en dus extra genieten. Kleine strandjes, stilte en rust en vrijheid.
Er zijn ook excursies te boeken ter plekke. Prima georganiseerd allemaal!

Om 1430 u terug gevaren. Andere optie is 13 u heen en 1730 u terug.

Tip. Neem zelf eten mee, het paviljoen is net geopend en heeft allerlei drankjes en koeken en een zalig terras! Hoewel, op de boot heerlijke patatjes en appeltaart. See more..

4.0 Exposure (48 reviews)
- Worth a detour
Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues

I am a huge fan of Antony Gormley, living relatively close to 'Another Place' another of his installations near Liverpool, so planned a detour via Lelystad so we could see it. It did not disappoint! Situated on a narrow breakwater, the giant crouching figure truely is exposed, surrounded by water on 3 sides. It is clearly visible from Lelystad and the Houtribdijk dam. If you wish to see it close up, there is a small car park nearby, it is then a 500m walk along a path that is wheelchair accessible. Well worth a detour! See more..
4.0 Houtribdijk (21 reviews)
- Provincial road N302
Points of Interest & Landmarks

The Houtribdijk is a dam in the Netherlands which connects the cities of Lelystad and Enkhuizen so it is a link road. On the west side of the dike is the lake Markermeer and on the east is the lake IJsselmeer. It's a very busy road ( N302). One of the mega hydraulic engineering projects done by the Netherlands in the 20th century. There are some recreation points along this dam. See more..

3.5 Nieuw Land Erfgoedcentrum (50 reviews)
- Water playground for small children
Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums • History Museums

Nieuw Land presents the rich history of the area we now call Flevoland. Visitors to the museum can get a glimpse at the world of the prehistoric Swifterbant people, a group of hunters, fishermen and gatherers who lived here six thousand years ago.The IJssel Lake (IJsselmeer) was formerly the Zuiderzee and served as an indispensable link in a variety of transport networks, where many a ship went down with all hands in the stormy billows. An archaeological treasure trove was unearthed when the Zuiderzee was reclaimed, making Flevoland the largest ship cemetery on dry land anywhere in the world.Of course, the museum's central theme is the largest reclamation project ever: the Zuiderzee Project. The project originated on the drawing board of Cornelis Lely and was carried out by the polder workers. How do you go about developing newly reclaimed land and what will the future hold for this area?There's also plenty for children to do at Nieuw Land: a special children's presentation allows them to step into the shoes of a dyke builder, archaeologist or lockkeeper. Fun experiments and games teach them all about one of the key challenges facing the Netherlands throughout its history: water management.Texts of the permanent exhibitions are available in English, French and German.Nieuw Land also holds the archives of the province of Flevoland. The tens of thousands of photographs, documents, maps, drawings and archaeological finds stored here lay the foundation of everything we know about the Zuiderzee Project. The collection in storage presents the long history of Flevoland: starting with prehistoric times and moving through the turbulent waves of the Zuiderzee to the new land that was created with the unique Zuiderzee Project.Study centreNieuw Land is also a research centre. Admission is free for visitors of the study centre, which offers a specialised library in which to study the various archives and collections. Nieuw Land also conducts its own research, collaborating w... See more..
