Afsluitdijk Wadden Center: water on both sides
The Afsluitdijk Wadden Center focuses on the dyke, the IJsselmeer and the Wadden Sea. Interactive elements link looking at the surroundings with questions about water and nature.
The dyke as a subject
The centre describes presentations on the Afsluitdijk, dyke reinforcement and sustainable energy. This lets you look beyond the road on which you arrive. Which challenge does a presentation explain, and which parts of the surroundings belong to it?
A fish’s route
The Vismigratierivier (Fish Migration River) is one of the themes mentioned. The family page lists, among other things, a game, a trail with Bobby Fish and a drawing table. See which activity helps you understand the connection described between the bodies of water.
From presentation to view
The centre also mentions a roof terrace with a view. That gives you a reason to look for the indoor subjects again outside. Use the information in the centre to recognise what you are looking at, without needing to know all the names beforehand.
Before you go
The centre’s own pages give different morning times: 09:00 and 10:00. Have the current opening time confirmed if you want to arrive early.
