★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice city farm with small free museum about history of Utrecht city focused in its Roman roots. Cafe offers a good range of lunch as well. Has a small kids corner for rainy days, but misses a playground to keep the kids busy in lovely weather.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ That was my first visit with my family there. No entrance fees. The multifunctional building has a modern design (with the contour of the fort) and is also very family friendly (WCs can be found on upper and lower floors). We watched a movie about the extraction of the remains of an ancient ship in the Roman times. Very impressed how all the ancient pieces were preserved, restored, and displayed for the public.
Outside of the building, a bathhouse was excavated. We walked through an exhibition area about the human life and history in that area. Then we also found an educational area for groups and school classes, as well as a neat, well maintained area for animals. First we saw so many multi-colored small birds, then proceeded to another room where pigs, big furry rabbits, caveats, and mouses were kept. There were no goats and some empty lots. Children can walk in to pet those lovely big fluffy rabbits.
There's a restaurant right next to the ship display area, and provides indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor open area (with big huge green lawn area) is so lovely, and spacious for holding public events. Highly recommended for a family visit!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great exhibit, free entrance. Cafe has an awesome beer selection! Lunch or dinner is great here. Very reasonable prices. Bring your kids in the summer with outdoor seating while you keep an eye on them through the big glass windows.
Service can be slow, not very attentive. Open kitchen with a big gas furnace for fresh pizzas.
Dogs welcome too, and nice.
Recommended!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place, combining a museum, a restaurant, a childrens' farm, and a theater. The museum is centered around a Roman transport ship, 25 m long, that was found nearby. Very impressive to see almost 2000 year old equipment come to life!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a small, but very nice place. The Castellum contains a little museum, a little farm, a theater, a cafe and some fields and gardens. The museum gives an interesting view of the area's history from prehistoric times until now, with a focus on Roman times. You can enter for free and the staff can offer extra information. The cafe offers a good selection of great food with good service. The staff is friendly and service is quick. We didn't check the theater. The farm consists of some small and some big farm animals. The bigger ones weren't there at our visit. As for the smaller ones, they have several animals including rabbits and guinea pigs that you can pet. All in all a good place for an afternoon. And it's a great place to bring little kids.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We stopped here for a bite to eat and to visit this museum that was specifically built for the Roman boat and artefacts that were found in Leidsche Rijn. I really enjoyed the museum and also the lunchroom. The food was very good and the staff were friendly
