School trip to Batavialand

About this school trip

Museum Batavialand in Lelystad tells the fascinating story of land and water, from prehistory to the days of the VOC, the Dutch East India Company. Your pupils watch craftspeople at work in the shipyard, discover centuries-old shipwrecks and learn how the Zuiderzee was turned into new land. At the heart of it all is the Batavia, a reconstruction of a VOC ship built using traditional techniques.

For schools there are interactive museum lessons on themes such as archaeology, the VOC and the history of Flevoland, led by experienced museum educators. Tailor-made guided tours are also available, for example on shipbuilding or water management, for pupils from around the age of seven. Prefer to explore on your own? Then your class can discover the exhibitions and the shipyard at its own pace.

We are happy to take care of transport to Lelystad for you and your pupils. Coaches can park easily near the museum, so our experienced driver can drop your group off safely and comfortably close to the entrance.
