Experience summer full of ship stories and adventure!
This summer vacation there is something to do every day at Museum Batavialand. From cooking and crafts to living history aboard the Batavia. All special activities are in addition to our regular offerings: the exhibitions, the ship Batavia and the craft yard. A fun and educational day out for the whole family! Your visit is also easy to combine with a day of shopping in Batavia Stad.
