5 trips with kids

Are you looking for fun trips for kids? For example, do you know that you can live as a Capuchin (monk) in our community for a day? Or are you an adventurist biologist, like Steve Irwin? Then, go on an expedition through greater Moerdijk. Are you a little more experienced? Then visit the Environmental Education Center at the petting zoo. And that's not all.....a few fun 'tips for kids' in Moerdijk at a glance:

Watch the big ships that sail across Europe

Climb the lookout tower of the Volkerak water locks near Willemstad and look out over the river Hollands Diep. Watch how the ships move up and down. Don't forget to wave at the captain.

Look out for insects

Have you always wanted to be a biologist like Steve Irwin? Look for animals that live in water and trees, go out with your binoculars, make an earwig jar or do experiments in the Nature Lab. Would you like to spot birds of prey? You can do that at Fort Sabina.

Splashing around in the water

Have you ever floated down a real creek? Seize this unique opportunity! Explore the creek 't Breede Gat from the water and relax with a delicious picnic on the waterfront.

Discover the island Tiengemeten

Want to enjoy a fun day with the kids on the nature island of Tiengemeten? Have a nice hike, bike ride, or just play in the sand? Then come on board the Expedition Haringvliet from Willemstad; an experience in itself!

Always wanted to be a Capuchin?

Patersbos and Capuchin monastery in Langeweg. Discover the monastery grounds and the Patersbos with the hiking tour “Day in the life of a Capuchin”.
