A brilliant interactive exhibition on the Afsluitdijk. The VR experience was great, and the view would have been good if it wasn't so foggy! Very reasonably priced, and excellent coffee and cake in the café too.

The museum is super worth it! 5€ per person and you can spend such a good time learning the history of the Afsluitdijk. The museum also has a restaurant.

Here you can see the ocean trying to take over the Netherlands but thay actually build a "Great Wall" to protect them from all the water from Mexico :) great place for tourist to see the battle and learn soon history. And of course nice view

Probably the best museum I've ever been to. There was a lot of interesting information, but it didn't consist of purely reading, but had loads of interactive things to do. I feel like a learnt a lot about not just the Afsluitdijk, but also the people of the Netherlands in general. It was truly fascinating, how much thought was put into it all.
It wasn't very full and the prices were reasonable.
The Café in the building was pleasant and you had a great view of everything around from the panorama roof.
Everyone working there spoke good English and all information was available in Dutch, English and German.

Really informative and interactive visitor centre about the huge 32km-long Afsluitdijk dam/barrage that shelters the Netherlands from the North Sea.

Particularly enjoyed the VR simulation of the soon to be completed migratory fish channel.

For €5 per adult, it's extremely good value!

Fascinating stories of the far sighted strategic planning of water and land management of NL. Shows that they are still preparing for rising water levels due to climate change!!!
I added this visit after I went to the excellent Canal Museum in Amsterdam.

The visitor centre was a nice surprise. It's 5 euro entry with a free audio tour to guide you around. A little bit of history mixed with lots interactive and modern exhibits to tell the impressive story of the dike. Easy to spend 1 hour here.

Modern building near NE end of the sea barrier. Aims to explain why it was built and the valuable natural area Waddenzee to the N. Started with an atmospheric three screen video of rising wind. unfortunately the middle projector was not aligned, spoiling the effect. Numerous child friendly exhibition pieces, many interactive. Great view from the rooftop.

A wonderful experience, the staff were very helpful and spoke very good English. We wasn’t sure what we had stumbled upon on our journey but it was explained by staff and chatted away to the children of what was there. We learnt a lot, loads to do for adults and children, very interactive. Worth the visit and an excellent price for the exhibition

No English, but the English audio guide was very interesting, and the museum is so interactive that it is hard not to enjoy it. Additionally, it has an amazing canteen.

We did a drive of the dams so stopped at every stopping place. Food and coffee here were good, staff friendly and place was spotlessly clean. From the windows some boat were fishing and others were doing water sports. Great place to stop and relax for a short while.

The restaurant overlooks the water and it has an amazing view. We had a short stop and grabbed a pizza to go.
