What people are saying about Kinderdijk

It's a great place, though I went on the day when it was foggy, I couldn't enhoithe real scenic beauty. But this place would give you what the Dutch water management is and how critical and challenging was it to deal with . The old 16th and 17th century windmills are extraordinary and still working to keep the water level at a safe limit. Also the movie of Kinderdijk ( Childern of dykee) is an interesting one. You could also see how ppl used to and live nearby and in the windmills. They are called the " MILLERS" lovely ppl and quite interesting to learn from them

It was a very nice experience. Getting the ticket beforehand really help to immediately enter all the different parts of the place.

It was a wonderful day in The Hague and a loving trip to the windmills.

A windy day when we visited but several windmills were still working.

Excellent experience! great service from the staff.
