Visiting Muiderslot with children
Children see knights, towers, and secret passages. Adults discover stories, tranquility, and open spaces. The Muiderslot is a multifaceted place full of adventure. Go exploring, climb towers, walk across bridges, and play outside on the grounds. Wander together through the castle and gardens, where history comes to life.
Get creative in the Castle Workshop
On weekends you can get creative yourself in the castle workshop, inspired by the castle and the seasons. Or come during one of the school vacations, when there are various (guided) creative activities.
Nature playground
In our green playground children can have fun among the cannons, the climbing ship, the slide and the willow tunnel. The playground is adventurous and accessible to everyone. Meanwhile, parents can relax on the terrace of Museum Café The Garden Room, with a view of playing children.
