About this school trip

The Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen takes pupils on a journey through time. In 't Zuiderzeedorp, the open-air village, they walk among more than 140 buildings from around the former Zuiderzee, watch craftspeople at work and meet characterful residents. In the Schathuys, the impressive ship hall awaits, full of stories about life on and by the water.

At the Zuiderzeemuseum, pupils learn with all their senses: tasting, feeling, smelling, seeing, hearing and doing. The educational programme focuses on the culture, heritage and art of the Zuiderzee region and ties in with the primary curriculum, including history periods and key moments in Dutch history. There are also curriculum-linked programmes for secondary schools.

We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to Enkhuizen. Coming from Friesland, the drive across the Afsluitdijk is a spectacular one; our experienced driver takes your group comfortably and safely by coach to the museum and back.
