GeoFort makes climate and maps spatial

On a fort island of the New Dutch Waterline, GeoFort lets visitors play and explore around earth, water, energy and climate.

Plan your visit ↗

The earth as a moving model

The 4D globe shows patterns that are hard to read on a flat map. Choose one layer, for instance water or temperature, and follow changes in place and time.

Getting lost with a question

In the climate maze and the discovery garden, searching becomes part of the explanation. Discuss afterwards which choice required knowledge and which was mainly a game action.

A fort with a new function

Dikes, buildings and grounds belong to the Waterline, while the installations address questions about the future. See where the military landscape is still legible beneath the visitor attractions.

Before you go

Regular public opening is at the weekend; holiday days and events are listed separately in the calendar and must be checked in advance.
