Historyland mixes a museum gallery with outdoor activities

Dinosaurs, a mammoth steppe, fossil hunting, bunkers and Historygolf make Historyland a combination of historical theme park and museum.

Prehistory indoors

Compare skeleton, reconstruction and depiction of the environment. Ask which elements are real finds, casts or scenery before you draw conclusions about the animals.

Searching for yourself outdoors

Fossil hunting turns looking into doing. Place your finds next to reference material and have the identification confirmed rather than going by shape alone.

Several eras in one park

Bunkers and prehistory belong to very different periods. Keep the routes separate in terms of content and use the map to combine activities practically.

Before you go

Standard schedule Tuesday–Sunday 10.00–17.00, last admission 16.00. From 1 October to 1 April also closed on Tuesday. During the school holidays of the Central region (regio Midden), Monday may in fact be open. Check the calendar, the winter rule and public holiday closures before you buy tickets.
