The Brandweermuseum has a lot of old cars inside. The museum is quite interactive and nice for kids too. The oldest exposition is from the time that buckets were used. 2 hours must be kept for a visit, nice for a rainy day!

The ship once was an identification mark in the North Sea.
Due to modern navigational aids, the lightship is no longer active. Now it's a museum ship located in the harbour of Hellevoetsluis.
You can visit the ship and it's worthwhile for an hour or two. Former marine officers will point out what the ship meant in former days. Staff is very friendly and helps you out with everything.
Nice for kids too!!

Very good childrens play area which is convenient if you are staying at one of the two local resort/camping areas.
Good standard of food and drink which wasn't overly expensive, our 7 year old daughter loved it however would cater well for much younger and older children alike. Very good english spoken.
