Really well structured museum with lots of knowledge of birds and sea life in the Wade sea. There's sounds in each section representing the topic at hand. Really makes you feel like you are e.g. among the birds you are learning about. Lots of visual representations either as stuffed animals, aquariums with sea animals, videos, etc. Very kid friendly with lots of interactive elements, like buttons you can push, screens, microscopes, things you can touch, etc. Not too much or too little text on each of the signs. Very well balanced museum suitable both for families and grown-ups :)

I really enjoyed visiting the Vaden center. In the morning we went on a seal safari and returned in the afternoon to explore the center. The seals were amazing, they were chilling on the beach and I felt like a three year old. Walking on the sea floor full of shells and sea worms was also fun. We had the best guide and that was Luisa. She showed us the whole center, talked about the local fauna and flora, explained the tides, we could touch a starfish and a seal skin. We talked about oysters and stopped at ecology. I really liked the sea eagle hanging from the ceiling in the last room near the bird migration. I recommend a visit and I hope to return one day with my family. And I was completely blown away by the Vadehavscentre building.

An absolute delight. To be taken with a an amazing pair or knowledgeable guides to search the low tide and find samples . Later to be examined under microscopes and have all details explained. Then to walk through the museum that you release your specimens into a live tank that you are allowed to gently and humanly touch if you dare. Bird section was spectacular too. And the lunch in the canteen was superb I highly recommend the rhubarb dessert 🍨. A definite for kids of all ages .including adult kids.

Another great experience with the naturalist explaining the environment. Then we gathered various plants along the seashore plus oysters clams muscles and small sea snails. The little food fest at the end was great with super company in nice conversations. Thank you for the great experience!

Beautiful building! Amazing architecture and a nice interactive exhibition that allowed both adults and children to learn about the area by touch, smell and sounds. Did not visit the cafe, but it looked nice.

This museum unites nature, science, architecture, design and art in an incredible way. It not only shows its visitors everything to know about the Wadden Sea, but also makes them feel connected to the area and it’s diverse plants and animals. The guided tours are also highly recommended.

We didn’t plan to visit this amazing national park gallery or museum(?) but by chance, after hanging Billund, the city of Lego for couple of days, found this place on google map and visited on a sunny day. it was just BEAUTIFUL! My 5 year old son enjoyed so much, almost same as LEGO house. Nice ex and interior design, also very well done user experience design! Strongly recommend to visit here if you are around.

The centre in a very interactive and well thought out way share the mechanics of the tide and the life of the creatures inhibiting the area. For child and adults alike there is new to learn and understanding and the psychics of the ride, the biology of the animal life, the aerodynamics of the birds... it is really an small gems where you get to touch, play and listen. It is also housed in a brilliant architecturally reinvented straw house. Highly recommendable for everyone. And small dogs could be brought inside as well.

Fascinating architectural building and great exposition. Was very instructive and informational. If you’re in the proximity I would strongly recommend checking it out. The Mandø tours with the tractors take off from here too

A must visit. This is an architectural gem with a setup that really exited us and our kids. So much learning and fun in one place. Take a trip to Mandø at the same time.

This is one of the best Museums I have ever been. The space is a Masterpiece. The exposition is great and interactive. Two hours needed. It is worth it.

Beautifully designed Wadden Sea visitor center a must visit before islands and coast site seeing. It gives and excellent introduction and knowledge to understand beauty and uniquenesses of the Wadden Sea. It’s not a big place but very interesting and presenting the history in very unique way. Please see a movie for full experience and explore real objects connected with Wadden Sea , described on electronic displays. Kids will love see and touch tide pool with live sea creatures. There is a spot for a picnic where you can bring own food. We loved that visitor center and we spent more time that we planned.

Beautiful building worth visiting just to contemplate the architecture. We haven't been inside so I'm not scoring the center.
