Fun for kids
There are plenty of things to entertain children in the Nijmegen region. Museums and amenities often offer special hands-on activities. Our tips? The Archeolab at Valkhof Museum! Here, children can build their own Roman bridges or fire a catapult while learning all about these early inhabitants of the Nijmegen region. It seems as if they never actually left when you visit the Roman street in Museumpark Orientalis. Or let your children follow in the footsteps of knights in one of the castles, such as Doornenburg Castle, Hernen Castle or Wijchen Castle. Pancakes are a typical Dutch treat, delicious covered in a thick layer of syrup. Enjoy!
Excursion in the dark
What is it like to be blind or partially sighted? At the MUZIEUM you can find out for yourself. Because the MUZIEUM is not just a museum, but a museum of experience. From eight years onwards, you are welcome to take a special excursion in the dark.
Time for pancakes!
After a day playing outside, it is of course time for... pancakes! Get on a boat on the River Waal - de Pannenkoekenboot - where you will have a great view of the city skyline and the Nijmegen bridges. Discover the city from the water while feasting on traditional Dutch pancakes.
