About this school trip

At Archeon in Alphen aan den Rijn, your pupils step right into the earliest history of the Netherlands. The museum park is full of reconstructed buildings and household objects based on archaeological finds. They visit a hunter-gatherer camp, the Roman frontier village of Trajectum ad Rhenum and the medieval town of Gravendam, where craftspeople are hard at work.

Here, history is something you live. Pupils paddle a dugout canoe, learn to make fire with flint, drill with the Roman legion and try their hand at archery on the shooting field. In the Archeologiehuis Zuid-Holland they also see genuine finds. Archeon has a special programme for primary schools.

We are happy to take care of transport to Archeon for you and your pupils. With a comfortable coach and an experienced driver, your group travels safely and without worry, so you and your class can make the most of a day full of living history.
