Are you short on time but still want the complete Kinderdijk experience? If time is at a premium, there is our Short Half package for schools: a concise exploration of our UNESCO World Heritage story. It starts with a short video about Kinderdijk or a visit to Wisboom Pumping Station, where you will learn how the Dutch managed to keep their land from flooding in bygone days. After that, you can dive into the world of one of our museum mills and experience the lives of its former inhabitants. You can also meet one of our millers.

Your visit to Kinderdijk:

View the video and the exhibition or explore Wisboom Pumping Station
Step inside one of the museum mills
Listen to an audio tour with the amazing story of Kinderdijk
Optional: go exploring with an enthusiastic guide

Water Management Up Close

Find out how Kinderdijk has been regulating the water here for centuries. The video explains how this landscape was shaped and which innovations prevented the water from flooding in. In Wisboom Pumping Station, you can witness the power of the steam pumps interactively with scale models and models of the polders. The audio tour (available on your own phone) offers more depth: perfect for students who like to learn independently.

The name Korte Halve

‘Korte Halve’ is named for the smaller sail used by millers when there is plenty of wind: it’s compact, strong and effective, just like this educational package.

Come and admire a real windmill

Your visit is only truly complete once you have seen the inside of a windmill. Explore the various rooms, inspect the large gear wheels, and feel the dynamics of the water. Meet the miller and hear stories about life in the mill’s yard.

Learn more with a guide

If you would like to know more about our water management system, ask for a guide with your package. Our guides love to talk about the history, technology, and local tales. Students may ask questions and will be encouraged to take part in the experience.

Our colleagues from Sales will then get in touch with you.
