A very nice adventure for kids and adults. Very interactive and kid and family friendly. The staff was very friendly and they explained either in Dutch, German or English. We spent around 3 hours in the 5 different places of the museum. Very nice collection from different time. No dogs allowed (which is normal) and you can book your tickets online. Start your round with the submarine because normally everybody starts on the other side, so you can avoid the crowd as on the submarine rhe entry is very shallow and it takes a bit time. Best gift for a good utility and price ratio: pencil sharpener in 5 or 6 different shape for 6€. Have fun

(Translated by Google) Absolute class. If you want to know how a 3D radar works and what it looks like in a modern submarine, you've come to the right place. No trace of glorification. If you don't like it, don't go there. Super museum. Absolute recommendation. And just around the corner the best chip shop in the world: The "De Werviaan" friteboetike. Also a MUST! (Original) Absolute Klasse. Wer wissen will, wie ein 3D-Radar funktioniert und wie es in einem moderneren U-Boot aussieht, ist hier richtig. Von Verherrlichung keine Spur. Wenn man es nicht mag, soll man nicht hingehen. Super-Museum. Absolute Empfehlung. Und gleich um die Ecke die beste Frittenbude der Welt: Die Friteboetike "De Werviaan". Ebenfalls ein MUSS!

Nice place ,a lot to learn about Navy ! A lot of things to Touch and see! Go there whit childrens ,it wil be fun for them!!! God luck

We spend about 4h in this museum with exposition of naval history, submarine, battleships and more. Highly recommend this, even with younger kids.

Fun little museum, impressive collection! Child-friendly and like all museums ran by veterans, well-maintained. The live exhibits (submarine, minesweeper, ram ship) are firstclass and very instructive. The Ruyter-class bridge and radome are extremely impressive. 5 stars as in: worth taking a detour for.

This is one of the best museum in the Netherlands. It is well laid out and all the displayed paintings and artillery are so pretty and shiny. The whole marine museum is clean and staffs are friendly. The Tonijn submarine is fantastic and attractive to all visitors and military fans. It is the sole chance which one can enjoy the walk inside a submarine. The whole museum is well reserved and it has Dut/Ger/Eng description. This is a great museum which one should come back again and again.

Great Museum. We really enjoyed the different parts - including 2 actual ships and a submarine. Had never been inside a submarine before - was really fascinating. The history of the navy had great displays in a separate building. All the major educational plaques were in Dutch and English - very easy to understand.

Interesting museum about the history of the Royal Dutch Navy. The museum.is not very big but there is a lot to see. The biggest (and most interesting) item on display is the submarine Tonijn. Which is one the ships of the previous class of submarine (Potvis klasse) who served in the Dutch navy. There are also two other ships you can visit. There were a lot of interactive displays which is always nice for children. The museum is quite cheap in my opinion, costing only a little bit more than 10 euro for one adult.

(Translated by Google) Even during corona time super nice you are nicely separated from oncoming traffic that is otherwise there (Original) Selbst während coronazeit super schön man wird schön getrennt vom Gegenverkehr der sonst da ist

(Translated by Google) Fantastic, just great. Very nice and worth seeing. For young and old. Dutch shipbuilding and art. Medieval Navy, World War I and Modern Dutch Navy. Ship models worth seeing, really great. You must have seen that. 👍👍👍👍👍 (Original) Phantastisch, einfach super. Sehr schön und sehenswert. Für jung und alt. Holländischer Schiffsbau und Kunst. Mittelalterliche Marine, Weltkrieg und moderne holländische Marine. Sehenswerte Schiffsmodelle, wirklich toll. Das muss man gesehen haben. 👍👍👍👍👍

(Translated by Google) Versatile museum. Lots to see. The submarine is especially interesting (Original) Veelzijdig museum. Veel te zien. Vooral de onderzeeër is interessant

Super maritime museum with lots of cool ship models and information done in an interactive way. The chance to get aboard a submarine was quite an experience. Certainly worth a visit.

Very nice museum with lots from the origin up to the recent past of the Dutch Navy. Including many inactive games, complete ships to visit and many items from older ships on display. Parking is free and plenty. For EV's there is no charging on site. But there are chargers nearby in public parking spots.

Great museum providing for an opportunity to squeeze into the real submarine, to enjoy a short wonderful performance, to learn more about Marva (female marine corpus), to take part in a quiz (for kids) and get a small present 🎁, to get scared visiting 3D radar. Free parking. Very dedicated volunteers. We spent there 3.5 hours! :)

We had the most remarkable experience while visiting the Marine Museum in Den Helder. From the moment we stepped in, it was evident that this museum was something special. As we explored the various exhibits, I was thoroughly impressed by the level of detail and information presented. What truly stood out was how engaged my kids were during the visit. They had taken the initiative to research about ships and warships beforehand, and their excitement was palpable as they eagerly shared their newfound knowledge with me. It was like having our own personal tour guides, and I must admit, I learned a lot from them! The museum itself is quite expansive, featuring an impressive collection of naval artifacts, models, and interactive displays that span various historical periods. The attention to detail and the effort put into creating an immersive learning experience is truly commendable. From intricate ship models to captivating exhibits on maritime history, there was never a dull moment. One of the things I appreciated most was the way the museum caters to visitors of all ages. It's not just a place for kids to have fun; it's also a treasure trove of information for enthusiasts and history buffs. The layout of the museum allows for easy navigation, and there are plenty of opportunities to engage with the exhibits hands-on. I do recommend allocating a generous amount of time for your visit. With so much to explore, you'll want to take your time to fully absorb all the fascinating information. The size of the museum can be a bit overwhelming, but it's definitely worth the investment in time. Whether you're passionate about maritime history or simply looking for an enriching family outing, the Marine Museum in Den Helder is a must-visit destination. In conclusion, my family and I had an exceptional time at the Marine Museum. The combination of informative exhibits, interactive displays, and my kids' newfound expertise made it a truly memorable experience. If you're seeking an engaging and educational adventure, this museum will undoubtedly exceed your expectations.

We had an amazing time at the museum. The staff was super friendly and they told us about the harbour and how it used to be there. Very interesting. T

A very impressive experience. It is exciting to marvel at the technology, and development of shipbuilding and technology. What is also striking is that the Stuff are very friendly and helpful. They speak Dutch, English and German. It is worthwhile to visit this museum.

Very nice museum 😊 kids and parents both can experience navy sea life .. history is nicely expressed with videos and objects and pictures and actual navy master pieces..just loved it .. it can be more developed with more objects and actual navy ships..

(Translated by Google) Very impressive and educational museum. Our 5-year-old son loved it! Lovely day out. (Original) Erg indrukwekkend en leerzaam museum. Onze zoon van 5 vond het geweldig! Heerlijk dagje uit.

Very nice setup. A lot to see. Great people telling about the history etc. A must do

Great museum with unique collection but what is even better with really great staff (retired sailors) who know and want to guide you on their ship/submarine. English friendly.

Free to enter for military service people! Shows the history of the city as a port and naval facility, and how the locals lived and worked over its history. The Submarine was also very cool, and the ships and guns on display outside are well preserved. Also dont forget to visit their gift shop!

Good museum, not that big, but obviously it's great to look at the submarine from inside

Great place with a lot to see and great for all ages! There are boats, submarine, museum, history, and done in a nice hand on way. The only minor gripe that I have is that driving an EV, there are no charging points in the parking lot.

This is a very unique museum in the Netherlands where we can visit a reconstructed submarine, a ram ship and a minesweeper. There is lot of interesting interactive games for the children. Ticket cost is not expensive. Worth visiting.

If you stay in Holland you must visit this place. It's a great experience!! The inside of the submarine is incredible!

I enjoyed the visit at this museum today. The staff is very friendly and there are so many interesting things to discover. Really nice to see the surroundings through the periscope from the submarine!

(Translated by Google) What an experience. It's also nice that former crew members receive you in the Tuna and tell you enthusiastically. Plenty of time to go out to read a lot, experience it interactively and view a lot. Very nice!! (Original) Wat een belevenis. Leuk ook dat er voormalige bemanningsleden je ontvangen in de Tonijn en enthousiast vertellen. Veel tijd voor uittrekken om veel te lezen, interactief te beleven en veel te bekijken. Erg leuk!!

(Translated by Google) Great to have been in a submarine once (Original) Geweldig om een keer in een onderzeeër te zijn geweest

(Translated by Google) Very impressive to be able to look into the submarine Tuna. (Original) Zeer indrukwekkend in de onderzeeboot Tonijn te mogen kijken.

Great experience and good insight in Dutch marine history, also a lot to see and explore

Netherlands National Military Museum never let me down~! It is a another wonderful museum. My kid enjoy it and learned a lot from it as well. It is really a nice place for a family.

Nice museum! Real biggest ships

This is a great museum which starts with a section filled with lots of historical knowledge. You then continue into a real submarine! After that you can head outside to the ship area and go into the exhibition area where you will find lots of interactive experiences and games for kids and some for adults. Pretty amazing place, almost too big :)

The statement at the entrance "You can touch everything" makes this museum a special place. You can sit on real AA guns, play commander of a warship, lie down in the beds of a submarine and many more things. There is a simple paper chase for kids which keeps them motivated. We were surprised how much time you can spend there. Highly recommended.

Awesome place where you can learn a lot!

As a military buff myself I expected to see and do more (more ships). The submarine is the only real main attraction. The Bridge section De Ruyter was closed and we weren't able to view it but got charged full price. A few weeks ago I visited the amazing National Military Museum and didn't have enough time to see and go through all as there was simply so much to do and see and super interactive for adults and children. Sadly this museum was over in less than 2 hours at a stretch. Many of the outdated interactive stations buttons didn't function especially if you changed the Language option. The museums restaurant was also closed so I recommend you either take your own food with or make use of the many restaurants which are easily within walking distance next to the museum. The staff were however very friendly.

Very nice museum, even if you are not a big navy fan. Submarine is just perfect. We also enjoyed interactive parts. Staff is helpful, friendly and well educated.

Great museum telling the story of the Dutch navy. The visit to the submarine is a great highlight.

Very nicely maintained Museum and best part is submarine visit. Its kidsproof museum. There are so many activities for kids to do. Definitely recommend this museum to everyone. If you want to cover the whole museum, then reserve whole day.

It’s a beautiful navy base visit. I enjoyed learning and operating marine vessels and added experience is you get to talk with veterans about there ship and how the dominates Dutch sea boundaries. You would require at least 3 hrs to spend time here plan accordingly. Kids will defentely enjoy it

I did not go to the museum itself, I looked at the exhibits from the street. Interesting. The atmosphere of a real port. Even without buying a ticket, you can see a lot of interesting things.

Great place if you are interested in war history, and a large submarine that you can get into, can only be recommended

Probably this is one of the most popular places in Den Helder. Here you can discover the history of the Dutch Navy. The highlight of the exhibition is the submarine, so you can dive inside and feel the atmosphere of being a marine.

Really nice museum about the Navy, very big, informative and interesting. The ships in the exhibition are beautiful and easy to visit. The hall with exhibition materials about history is also informative and spacious. You can easily fill half a day with a museum visit.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting. Especially when you've been away from the boss for 12 years. (Original) Erg interessant. Zeker wanneer je al 12 jaar bij de baas weg bent.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful insight into what is called the Navy. (Original) Een prachtige inkijk in wat heet de Marine.

(Translated by Google) Well worth a visit. (Original) Zeker een bezoekje waard.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, beautifully set up. Nice collection really enjoyed I would say everyone should go there (Original) Prachtig , mooi opgezet .mooie collectie echt genoten Ik zou zeggen iedereen moet er heen

(Translated by Google) We were in the museum and the U-Bott for the first time in 2020 and I can only recommend it, we also ate kibbling for the first time and was very enthusiastic about it all, I would go there again when the Corona subsided again we will probably not go to North Holland again until 2023 but North Holland will probably be happy again and again. (Original) Wir waren 2020 das erste mal in dem Museum und dem U-Bott und ich kann das nur empfehlen wir haben auch das erste mal Kibbling gegessen und war sehr begeistert von dem Ganzen ich würde noch einmal da hin fahren wenn sich die Corona mal wieder gelegt hat wir fahren aber wahrscheinlich erst wieder 2023 nach Nordholland aber wieder immer gerne wahrscheinlich wird Nordholland .

(Translated by Google) Worth seeing the maritime museum, I recommend it (Original) Warte obejrzenia muzeum marinistyczne , polecam

(Translated by Google) Walking around in the submarine De Tonijn who wouldn't want that ?! (Original) In de onderzeeër De Tonijn rondlopen wie wil dat nu niet?!

Beautiful place

The submarine is impressive. The staff very friendly and share their knowledge. Some things are in English and German aswell as Dutch.

I really enjoyed visiting the submarine! The staff were so friendly as well.

(Translated by Google) The seen is worth it, with the whole area working it will be much better. (Original) Lo visto merece la pena, con toda la zona funcionando estará mucho mejor.

(Translated by Google) Very nice to be with. Think interesting for children from 6 years if they have an interest otherwise it will be sow (Original) Erg leuk on te zijn. Denk interessant voor kinderen vanaf 6 jaar mits ze belang hebben anders word het zaai

(Translated by Google) Great museum, impressive and been in the submarine with nice stories from old marines (Original) Geweldig museum, indrukwekkend en in de onderzeeër geweest met mooie verhalen van oud mariniers

A submarine, a couple ships, a great amount of guns/cannons and a great museum.

Informative and exciting experience. Anyone who's interested in Marine engineering and wars should visit.

Nice and interactive museum. Unfortunately a lot of info is only in Dutch. However in the submarine retired soldiers guide you who actually served on a submarine.

Probably the best museum I've ever seen!

Great experience. Ticketing staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, they pointed us towards where we could best start off so we wouldn't have to walk around a massive amount. There are quite a lot of buildings in this museum, so you'll be a while but it will definitely be worth it. Highlight for me was the massive submarine of which I also added some photos.

They have a submarine just outside that you can visit, did you notice that? take your time and go thorough it, it is a very nice attraction. Some serious navy history here. Besides that the museum is great and if you take your time and go to the next building it is quite interactive. We definitively would like to comeback.

Very large and good museum. Suitable for kids and all other ages.

(Translated by Google) Very nice to have seen once, expert explanation in combination with historical value 5 stars! (Original) Erg leuk om een keer gezien te hebben, kundige uitleg in combinatie met historische waarde 5 sterren!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful to see with a lot of history !! (Original) Prachtig om te zien met veel historie!!

The most balanced museum in Netherlands. It neither small nor big enough to get tired too much. The submarine is a key point but everything else is worth seeing also. Don’t forget to watch the traffic jam through the periscope!!

(Translated by Google) How cool that you can look once from the inside yourself. (Original) Wat gaaf dat je zelf n keer van binnenuit kan bekijken.

(Translated by Google) Not accessible in many departments with a wheelchair (Original) Niet met rolstoel in veel afdelingen te bekijken

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum. It can take quite a few hours. Very friendly staff. (Original) Erg mooi museum. Je kunt er best wel een paar uur omkrijgen. Erg vriendelijk personeel.

(Translated by Google) Nice day in Den Helder. (Original) Schöner Tag in Den Helder.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and very educational (Original) Heel mooi en heel leerzaam

(Translated by Google) Viewing the submarine from the inside is great gives a special glimpse into the life of the crew the rest of the marine museum is not special and if you have difficulty walking an advice do not go you have nothing to look for the volunteers are quite informative (Original) De onderzeeer van binnen bekijken is geweldig geeft een bijzonder kijkje in het leven van de bemaning de rest van het marine museum is niet bijzonder en als je slecht ter been bent een advies ga niet je hebt er dan niets te zoeken de vrijwillegers zijn aardig informatief

(Translated by Google) The carona rules were well observed. Nice museum (Original) Er werden goed de carona regels nageleefd. Mooi museum

(Translated by Google) Was a lot of fun (Original) Was erg leuk

(Translated by Google) Nice time inside, actually the most pleasant museum day. Been several times but now I could watch everything quietly. Also a.b. Tuna can see everything. (Original) Mooi optjd naar binnen ,eigenlijk de meest prettege museum dag. Verschillende malen geweest maar nu kon ik alles rustig bekijken . Ook a.b. Tonijn alles kunnen zien .

(Translated by Google) What a fun experience, really worth it .. We'll go again soon. (Original) Wat een leuke ervaring, echt de moeite waard.. We gaan snel nog eens.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting and the weather was nice (Original) Zeer interessant en het was lekker weer

(Translated by Google) How special to see. Cool and impressive for the kids. The combination with all the sights really makes it complete. We laughed at the name, Tuna ... for such a cool boat! For people who love buttons and levers ... challenge ... (Original) Wat bijzonder om te zien. Gaaf en indrukwekkend voor de kinderen. De combinatie met alle bezienswaardigheden maken het echt af. We hebben gelachen om de naam, Tonijn...voor zo'n stoere boot! Voor mensen die dol zijn op knopjes en hendeltjes....uitdaging..

(Translated by Google) The submarine looks very impressive from the outside. Cool to have a look inside. This is the nicest part of the marine museum. All volunteers have also really sailed on the Tuna. Outside on the huge site are 2 more ships that you can view. The museum itself is nothing special, especially many paintings and ships to scale. People are all very nice. Unfortunately 1 star less because it is impossible to visit this museum now if you have difficulty walking! (Original) De onderzeeboot ziet er van buiten erg indrukwekkend uit. Gaaf om binnen te kunnen kijken. Dit is het mooiste onderdeel van het marine museum. Alle vrijwilligers hebben ook echt gevaren op de Tonijn. Buiten op het enorme terrein liggen nog 2 schepen die je mag bekijken. Het museum zelf is niets bijzonders, vooral veel schilderijen en schepen op schaal. Mensen zijn wel heel aardig allemaal. Helaas 1 ster minder omdat het onmogelijk is dit museum nu te bezoeken als je slecht ter been bent!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful museum. The paintings and history prove difficult for the young children, but the submarine and the rest more than make up for it! So don't hang around too long with young children in the first part. There is plenty to see: an absolute must. (Original) Prachtig museum. De schilderijen en geschiedenis blijkt toch lastige kost voor de jonge kinderen, maar de onderzeeboot en de rest maakt het meer dan goed! Blijf dus niet te lang hangen met jonge kinderen in het eerste deel. Er is genoeg te zien: een absolute een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) Interesting marine exhibition with many exhibits, outdoor and indoor areas. Due to Corona, a pre-booking was necessary, which we did not know and some areas were blocked. The exhibition is very military-heavy. (Original) Interessante Marine Ausstellung mit vielen Exponaten, Freigelände und Binnenbereich. Durch Corona war eine Vorbuchung nötig, welches wir nicht gewußt haben und einige Bereiche waren gesperrt. Die Ausstellung ist sehr Militärlastig.
