For little ones, a visit to Dragon Li-Ming is an unforgettable experience, while older children can discover all about the theory of evolution in Darwin's Attic.
OnderWaterSafari (underwater Safari)
The museum has recently acquired a real attraction! In the OnderWaterSafari (underwater safari) (accessible for 4+) you step into a vehicle that takes you on a journey through the underwater world of the Netherlands. From the fresh water of ditches and lakes to the salty water of the Wadden Sea. Along the way you see what lives below the water level and who knows, you might even encounter them, the Big Five of the underwater world of the Netherlands: the beaver, otter, catfish, seal and porpoise!
