Very Interesting Museum

Published on Sep, 2024

I actually missed this tour because I was very ill, but my daughter and son-in-law went and highly recommended it. They said they ended up staying past their 2-hour museum time limit because of all of the interesting items in the museum. I will definitely go on this tour next time I'm in Rotterdam!

Definitely not just for children

Published on Aug, 2023

Really enjoyable and educational. It’s not solely for children. It is for all. The lady behind the desk was so pleasant and we went on the boat trip where the guide was knowledgeable and had a very good sense of humour. There’s an oil rig simulator where you complete tasks and the floors going up are educational. The top floor where the children can play was great as children honestly used loading a barge as play and took it seriously. Worth a visit for sure

Great museum for young kids

Published on Aug, 2023

Great place to take your young kids. There is a play area at the top floor, which suits kids from 2 to 10. We ended up spending 4 hours with a lunch break roughly half way, absolutely recommendable.

Outstanding Interactive Museum

Published on May, 2023

This museum is outstanding with both indoor and outdoor exhibits. Unfortunately the day we visited was windy and wet so we spent little time outdoors. It consists of two buildings about 200 yards apart with the dockside between holding all the floating displays. Depending on weather and time of year some of the floating exhibits are open to explore. On the upper floor of the secondary building you find a layout of the port and how it is being continually expanded. The lower floor has a workshop and a blacksmith shop. On arrival staff was welcoming and efficient. We paid 35 euros for two by Canadian CC without problem. We were given a ticket and a map and were told we would need the ticket to access some of the displays and activities. We were advised to start with the Offshore exhibit site. Here you enter an elevator and on exiting you find yourself on an oil rig platform at sea. There are many individual exhibits. You use your ticket to attempt some tasks like offloading supplies from a ship to the platform, giving landing instructions to a helicopter or being a drill operator. You are scored on your performance and can receive a record of your attempts as you leave. Leaving the platform you descend to the sea floor and discover how the platform is anchored and how the oil is transported. Outstanding! Another section of the building houses an extensive display of how the subway system was build. There are hundreds of incredible models of ships throughout the ages. If you were a true enthusiast and wanted to experience everything you would need several days. A wonderful place to visit as a family. A restaurant is available on site.

Worth the time and the money

Published on Feb, 2023

We very much enjoyed the offshore section, which was a really nice experience. It realistically simulates the whole oil rig experience and if you are willing to read and watch the videos it is also very educational. In the rest of the museum we only spent time on what we were interested in and passed on the rest. The design of the museum is very original. There are free lockers and our visit was comfortable in general. The museum is s great place for both adults and kids.
