About Fort Kijkduin
Op het voorplein in Fort Kijkduin staat een bijzonder fortwachtershuisje, waar je je nog echt fortwachter waant. Na het sluiten van het museum gaan de poorten dicht en heb je het uitzichtspunt voor jezelf. Een bezoek aan het aquarium en het museum zit bij de overnachting inbegrepen.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice historical museum. Not a time filler but an perfect time with the fam. Not to expensive and the restaurant has some small things to eat but not really an great choice. For the price? Perfect day out!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great nice place for a tour. Great museum of war, nice antiques. The sea museum was awesome, the smell of the sea was great. Paid 8 eur a piece. Hated: no discount for students and no english translation, just Dutch writting. The place is also nice to walk to, thru the seaside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fort Kijkduin is a great museum which shows its importance of defence in the past. It tells you Dutch history. This is one great museum which one should never miss. Though it is in the west of Den Helder, it will take 30 min. to walk from train station Den Helder. I advise you to walk here because you can enjoy watching horses, sheep and lighthouse on the way. You can also come by bus 851 which will leave train station once per hour. The museum has weapons, military stuff, military model tanks and planes, documentary film, aquarium, etc to show you. The sole toilet is right in front of the cashier. After you buy the entry ticket, turn your head back and you will see it. All the other toilets in the museum are locked.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice little Fort from Napolions time. Good preserved, the entrance (upper deck) is a bit neglected and does not look very promessing but once insede it became interesting. Was occupied by Nazi Germany once as well. Lots of guns at the show cases, nice organized. Including sea life aquariums. The kids lived especially the posibility to tuch and pet the sharks and other sea creatures and fish. The coffe shop is a bit dark and cold, a greater variety of drinks and maybe ice cream would atrect kids and adults. There is an interesting section of preserved sea creatures for biology lovers. The entry was 8 € wich we think was kind of expensiv if comming with a family of 6 (please add a family program)
Parking is free (hopefully one finds a spot) Toilets are free, but not many and clean 3/5
Thats why i gave it 4 stars and not 5. In general for those that love the dunes, sea and history it is a sweet little spot. Dont forget to climb out and have a look around, there are ww2 German bunkers on the side of the fort. Kids will love to peek inside but remember there are deep holes-do not fall inside. Enjoy

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place but a bit messy, route was not clear and the stories, history lessons were confusing. Concentration was on the 2nd WW War. The museum almost doesn't look like it is finished. Big problem I noticed was the history of the place has a big French influence but no where you could find French text, Dutch or English. Disappointing. The aquarium is funny but small and it should be inside the fortress, it hasn't anything to do there, just like the whale info, put this in a different building or so.
