Plan your visit ↗

A product with distinctive features

The red cheese with keys is mentioned as a recognisable element. Let the display explain how the features and the way it is made are connected, rather than stopping at recognising the outside.

Museum and business

A cheese dairy has its own working rhythm. Guided tours can provide extra explanation, but their availability needs to be checked; an open shop does not guarantee a demonstration or a guide.

The ferry in your plans

You reach Kaageiland by ferry. Include the crossing and the route to Julianalaan in the length of your visit, even if you only want a short museum stop.

Before you go

The museum’s opening is seasonal, unlike the shop hours. Outside April to October an appointment is required; also check the current ferry service.
