Wow, I cannot fault this park at all. Visited with family recently. All the queues are socially distanced, park is spotlessly clean, staff are friendly and helpful, rides are a brilliant mixture for all ages. Can’t recommend highly enough!

One of two cathedrals in the world that has these statues on the arches, the only one where the statues look up. If you are lucky and they have the roof open in summer, do it. It is truly a sight to behold. The interior is richly decorated and the windows are breathtaking. The entrance from the market has a window that has a panel dedicated to WWII, enter and look back and up. The Maria chapel is still heavily used, with various saints along the walls. Have a look at the wood engravings all along the sides.

For all transport buffs and people who enjoy going back in time to the old days of classic vehicles, this museum is ideal. Also children will like it too as they can climb in some of the vehicles and there is a childrens area. Well worth the money in my opinion.Only sorry the bar was shut on the day I visited.

Reservation is necessary (webiste) Reptielenhuis de Aarde is the first official zoo of Breda. This mini-zoo is specialised in holding and caring for reptiles. The first impression of this miniature zoo is that everything is very clean and child friendly. Children get the chance to pet or even hold some animals, also every question will be answered by the animal carer. The enclosures are bigger than you normally see in a zoo. Every animal has its own habitat and temperature, that is how we ensure that every animals wellbeing is as high as possible. Curious..? Come see the zoo in Breda and discover the world of reptiles!

A very well maintained reptile house with many snakes, lizards and turtles. Not the biggest one but enough for me to spend 90 minutes. Feeding giant turtles with salad was my highlight. The place is spotless clean, without bad odours, the size of enclosures is sufficient for most animals and the staff is friendly. The place is a bit too far away to walk from Breda centre but with the local busses you can reach the place in 15 minutes.
6. Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven

Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven “Very international-friendly. Great service, warm atmosphere, superb beers and delicious food.” That was the response from an American visitor to this specialist beer experience at Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven (Eindhoven City Brewery). Its artisan kitchen means you can combine wonderful home-brewed beers – with names inspired by local landmarks such as Witte Dame and Heeren van Eynthoven – with a slow cooked Picanha or Brewers Ribs, for instance. Or simply come along and enjoy the large pavement cafe of the Proeflokaal 100 Watt (Tasting Room 100 Watt) by the Dommel, in the middle of the city centre.

We visited City Brewery in Eindhoven a couple of times during our recent holiday. We went in the early afternoon each time and thoroughly enjoyed the place. We tried several of their pilsners and beers, all of which were absolutely first class and tasted delicious. There was also a wide range of food to choose from too. We can heartily recommend the beer tasting platters! Wonderful! The place has a friendly atmosphere, with pleasant and welcoming staff serving. Well worth a visit! ????????

Dined here with 2 friends whilst in Eindhoven. Despite arriving at 7pm on a Saturday night we were immediately shown to a table (pure luck I think, as usually you would expect a bit of a wait). There are a lot of different types of cuisine you can choose from - ranging from sushi, to fresh fish, to pizza. There is sure to be something to satisfy anyone's preferences! The COVID-19 measures were good - with the ability to order your food directly to your table by use of the Butlaroo app, to save you having to get up to walk around and wait at one of the vendors. The food quality was superb. We had Vietnamese, sushi, and pizza - all of which were excellent.

In the summer of 2020 I had dinner with a friend on their terrace, tasty and tender spare ribs with coleslaw, accompanied by a fresh zesty locally brewed beer, very good. What most surprised me however, was their Easter dinner. We had the non-vegetarian option that consisted of a beef tataki with mushrooms, cod on lasagne, chuleta and finally a chocolate egg filled with cream and mango. It came well prepared, well packaged and with clear, easy to follow instructions. Finishing it at home took only minutes per dish. The candle and napkins that were added to the package were a nice, thoughtful touch. The food was, again, very good.
9. Doloris' Meta Maze

Doloris' Meta Maze is a climb-through art experience. In this realm you immerse yourself in a world beyond ours. As you follow oblique pathways, slip through hidden loopholes, walk through walls and encounter mysterious objects, time becomes fluid. Doloris' Meta Maze is the only immersive art experience of this size in Europe and unique in form in the world.

Get ready to be surprised. One of a kind experience. It’s a multi sensory adult playground, for those with an open mind, ready to explore, experience, and embrace the unexpected. Not for the faint of heart or the Disney boxed entertainment seeker. It’s hands on, ears and eyes open, Alice in Wonderland meets experimental art,creepy crawly, do it yourself fun.
10. Philips Museum

The Philips Museum is located in the center of Eindhoven, where Gerard Philips produced his first light bulbs in 1891. Here you will be taken into the story of the company. You see how Philips is constantly reinventing itself and how it plays an important role in social change with innovative technology. First with electric light, later with radio, television and the arrival of the digital age. And right now Philips is at the forefront of major changes in healthcare. Always with the aim: to improve people's lives.

Didn't go expecting a huge amount, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I learned and how interactive and wide-ranging the exhibits were. The museum is really well done. The cost for an adult ticket is 9euros and it took me just under 2 hours to go through the museum - I went slowly, however. The real standouts for me were hearing about Jan Zwartendijk and the thousands he saved during WW2 by giving out Curacao visas. There are some excellent stories of survivors and the quite epic journeys they took from Lithuania. I also really enjoyed the section on PSV Eindhoven and the history of this great football club. It was really interesting to see how this company has shaped so much of this city, and especially so the football club. The staff were really friendly and there is a good audio tour for the last bit. The virtual reality headsets give an interesting look into the future of urban cities and how Philips envisions us living in the future - the virtual reality headsets are super cool and would be suitable for both young and old. I can't recommend this museum enough. If in Eindhoven, make sure you take the time to visit!
