I went with 10 of my students and every student commented on what fun they had! And the teachers really enjoyed themselves too! The staff were brilliant, speaking perfect English and were incredibly helpful and polite. They even allowed us to bring our dog in too! It was a fantastic team building activity and I would recommend it highly!

Zuivelhoeve Leeuwarden

Vers staat voorop bij De Zuivelhoeve; dat zie je en dat proef je. De verse producten hebben een fraai plekje gevonden en zijn een lust voor het oog. Veel mensen uit Leeuwarden en omgeving weten deze versspecialist inmiddels te vinden. De reacties van buitenlandse toeristen zijn altijd ook zeer enthousiast: heerlijke boerenkazen in Ljouwert! De sfeer bij De Zuivelhoeve is warm, hartelijk en uitnodigend. De eigenaars lopen en denken graag met je mee als je naar iets speciaals op zoek bent. Wil je zelf op je gemak rondkijken, dan kan dat natuurlijk ook. De Kleine Kerkstraat is eerder verkozen tot ‘Leukste winkelstraat van Nederland’ en dat is natuurlijk niet voor niets! Het is een van de meest karakteristieke straatjes van Leeuwarden vlak bij de Prinsentuin, het Keramiekmuseum en de Oldehove. De straat heeft nog een nostalgisch karakter, met die gezelligheid van vroeger, een grote diversiteit aan winkels en ondernemers die met hart en ziel in hun zaak staan.Oant sjen! Anton & Willie

Museumhuis Van Eysinga

Commanding a prestigious position, right in the centre of Leeuwarden, this house was built by one of the most influential and impressive men of his time. It’s not all glitz and glamour, take a look at the servants’ quarters, and see for yourself. Find out why the house stood empty for long periods of time. Ring the doorbell, get to know the Van Eysinga family, feel the vibes and soak up the atmosphere. You can even sit down at one of the games tables.

Reviewed By ilovetotravelfoodie - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This museum is in the same building as the Fries Museum. Friesland apparently played an important role in the Dutch Resistance during the Second World War. Here a very good collection of photos, artifacts etc. from more than 75 years ago is now being displayed. Recommended.

Fries Museum

The Fries Museum is dedicated to Friesland and the Frisian people. Its activities revolve around the eleven cities that make up the province and the surrounding countryside. These include the Frisians' love-hate relationship with water, the search for what defines the typical Frisian character, and Friesland's place in the wider world. The freedom fighter Grutte Pier's sword; old costumes and clothing; treasures from the Frisian mounds; the legacy of Mata Hari, the exotic dancer who was executed as a spy at the end of the First World War; Gerrit Benner's paintings; contemporary visual art; and the film de Overval: together these objects tell the story of Friesland.
