Things to do in South Holland Province, The Netherlands: The Best Science Museums

March 14, 2022 Carley Gatson

Encompassing two of the Netherlands’ three largest cities (Rotterdam and The Hague), Zuid-Holland (South Holland) is also home to important towns like Leiden, Gouda and Delft. And many lovely smaller towns dot the gorgeous green landscape. Alphen aan den Rijn has several interesting attractions, including Dutch history theme park Archeon. Picturesque Kinderdijk, birthplace of the legend of the Cat and the Cradle, also has many windmills that together are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Archeon

Reviewed By benjamin12015 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Really interesting and beautiful place that is certainly worth a visit. Even though Archeon is a great place for kids we visited as adults and had a great time and found it to be very interesting. It's particularly nice how everything is open and you can really touch and interact with the exhibitions. If you have the Museumkaart or just fancy doing something different when in the Netherlands I would highly reccomend a visit!

Not at all macabre. Absolutely fascinating to see the internal workings of the human body.All the exhibits are clearly explained in English. Explore each room at your leisure.

Space Expo

Reviewed By LBSterling - Nuremberg, Germany

This is a perfect outing for young and old alike. You will spend about 2 hours and there are some interactive activities which are fun. Price is reasonable. I would suggest you go when they open, since it can get quite busy. There is also a little cafeteria which is suitable for a drink and light lunch or snack.
