Explore the Netherlands at 1:25 scale
Madurodam brings together miniature versions of famous Dutch architecture, public spaces and transportation. Look for model trains, streets, canals, ports and moving details that recreate familiar scenes from around the Netherlands. Young visitors can explore an entire country from a new perspective.
Amsterdam canals and historic Dutch cities
See the characteristic facades, canals and bridges associated with famous Dutch towns. The careful models help visitors recognise architectural styles and imagine the places at full scale.
Schiphol Airport and Dutch transportation
Watch miniature transport systems at work, including railway and airport-inspired scenes. These miniature operations are a favourite with visitors who enjoy trains and planes.
The Port of Rotterdam
Discover the role of shipping, cargo and ports in the Dutch economy, with miniature ships, cranes and port scenes. Interactive areas bring the scale of logistics and trade to life.
A country shaped by water
The history of the Netherlands is closely connected to water management. The miniature models and exhibits illustrate canals, water barriers, pumping and the engineering that made land reclamation possible.
The Waterwolf – a story of reclamation
This indoor experience explores how the Haarlemmermeer was drained. Visitors can discover how pumping and engineering changed the landscape. Shows and attraction arrangements can vary, so check the programme on arrival.
The Dutch Masters
Step inside playful worlds inspired by artists associated with Dutch art, such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Van Gogh and Mondrian. The indoor experience adds an artistic dimension beyond the miniature buildings.
New Amsterdam and the history of New York
This experience explores the historical connections between the Netherlands and New York. The story includes the colonial period; it is best approached as part of a complex shared history rather than only as a celebration of exploration.
The Flying Dutchman and other indoor experiences
Madurodam features immersive activities that extend the experience beyond the scale models. Some installations have movement, height, stair or sensory restrictions; check the current accessibility guidance for each attraction.
Playgrounds and active family fun
Children can enjoy outdoor playgrounds and interactive installations as a break between viewing miniatures. Outdoor water play may be weather-dependent. Supervise children around water and climbing equipment.
How long should you visit?
Most visitors will enjoy a three- to four-hour visit. Allow extra time for indoor experiences, food breaks and playgrounds. It can take half a day to appreciate the details without rushing.
