Very nice museum experience. It takes you back to war era. Beautiful city surrounded by water, greenery, tunnels and warfare history. Good walk, lush green gardens, small cafe with snacks and coffe available. The dutch and english tour audio is available. Pre booking of tickets is recommended and with museum card its covered. The long underground tunnels make you stunned!

Interesting place to visit, both in and outside the fortress. Lots to learn about military defence in this low lying country. No videos, but interactive displays with wartime audio. Nice temporary exhibit of the Napoleonic era. Lots to be learned. Also good for a visit with children.

Small but lovingly designed fortress museum in Naarden. Beautifully situated, directly on the fortress wall and moat. Interesting, partly interactive, information about the history of the fortress, exhibition rooms with many exhibits, various cannons, weapons, underground passages,... There is a lot of exciting things to discover. The entrance fee for €12.50 is definitely worth it if you are in Naarden.

Interesting museum about Naarden fortress. Lot of historical info, quiz for kids, shooting a real old cannon on Sundays! Five stars and must visit

Very cool place. You tour under the citadel, in the tunnels, and walk above the top. Really nice view, and very interesting. Not super big so it doesn't take a lot of time. Should see it if you're in Naarden!

A useful, valuable and insightful museum. The museum figuratively and literally reflects the history of fortified towns in the Netherlands through its own physical spaces. Nice to learn the history of the construction/creation. In combination with a visit to the beautiful fortified town of Naarden, it is definitely worth a day trip.

Really great museum, a lot to discover and for €12.50 per person. Per. Totally fine 😁 we thought it was great 👍🏼

My brother and I really enjoyed this museum. It showcases the military fortifications. It is one of the best preserved star forts in the world. There were people dressed up in old uniforms showing how the canon would be loaded and fired, which was pretty cool. Not much information in English, but there was some. Come if you're a fan of military history or architecture.

just a nice museum not big . take the audio tour that’s really interesting.

Super interesting. The Dutch know (knew) how to construct their forts. Maybe a bit pricey, but staff was friendly and we had an interesting hour there.

Nice museum for young and old. Learned a lot about Naarden and the waterline.

It was great watching the cannons fire. Worth a visit if your in the area. There are also a couple nice places to have a meal in the old town .

Museum in Fortification. The Casemate was fun for a while.

Wheelchair accessible route, assistance dogs welcome. Tactile markings would be a great improvement on stairs and the glass doors. Small cafetaria, in historic design. Accessible toilet. We had an awesome day. Videos of history of some Dutch waterways in Dutch and English audio.

(Translated by Google) What a friendly people! Good coffee and everything is in an excellent state of repair. Souvenirs are disproportionately expensive. Highly recommended to go. Some days you can sail and shoot them with a cannon. For the children fun to meet Napoleon, among others. Goats run free, very nice too. Are impossible stairs to get to, for example, the whispers, do not know whether this is due to the Corona or whether it is permanent. Currently not possible for people with walking difficulties. Dogs are welcome, this was very pleasant for us. (Original) Wat een vriendelijke mensen! Goede koffie en alles is in een uitstekende staat van onderhoud. Souvenirs zijn wel buiten proportioneel duur. Echte aanrader om naartoe te gaan. Sommige dagen kun je mee varen en schieten ze met een kanon. Voor de kinderen leuk om kennis te maken met onderandere Napoleon. Lopen geiten los, erg leuk ook. Zijn wel onmogelijke trappen om bij bijvoorbeeld bij de fluistergangen te komen, weet niet of dit door de Corona komt of dat dit permanent is. Op dit moment niet te doen voor mensen die slecht ter been zijn. Honden zijn wel welkom, dit was voor ons erg prettig.

An excellent museum. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The audio guide was decent and the museum has a good mix of outdoor and indoor exhibits. It is good to go when there is no rain, as some outside walking is needed.

I finally also visited the museum inside after having visited a few times the outside part of the museum. While I really like seeing the star shaped fortification which you can walk over, get a very good impression of how it was build and why, I thought that the level of the inside museums was a bit lower. Especially if you have to pay for the ticket. Nice is when you go on a day there is the cannon demonstration.

Very interesting museum, friendly welcome.

Nice cannon firing demonstration

Its a nice place to explore with children. It has a beautiful water canals running around the casle. It has lots of green area and play parks for kids. One can have boating to do in to the canals. Saturday farmer's market had the variety food. A big church with a kids play area in front. A big statue behind the church. An ancient city hall with a guide to tell you about the history of casle. Some remains of old casle. Hobbit look a like houses around the canals. Ohh I forgot to mention there a a small zoo area at the corner before you enter the casle with animals Beers, sheep's , goats, peacocks, Emu etc. In stort is a great place for a day trip for a family.

Beautiful and peaceful place. We really wanted to do the boat tour but there were no shipmates available on the day we went, which was unfortunate. They showed the history really well, and were more than happy to give us explanations. Great experience!

Enjoyed the trip! Cool museum and pretty place. Fun for a quicl trip.

A wonderful place located in the historic fortress walls and grounds of the ancient city of Naarden Vesting. The museum portrays the environment of the military defense force that was located here in all aspects.

(Translated by Google) Small is beautiful. Nice setup and helpful staff! (Original) Klein maar fijn. Leuke opzet en behulpzaam personeel!

Interesting museum where you will receive an explanation about the route after a personal welcome. Museum is professionally decorated.

What a beautifull ancient place

It was really informative and the puppet showcases made it all more life like

A nice museum to know the history of Naarden and the fortress.

Interesting insight into this unique looking fortress. As much of it was in Dutch without English translation,it doesn't take much time to visit all the exhibitions. Because of this I feel like I was limited in what I could get out of it. We were told we could get a free coffee with I AMsterdam card but was told otherwise after ordering. More than happy to support the musuem but would appreciate it if the staff could get their facts correct to avoid future confusion and awkwardness. As buses to this area run infrequently, best to plan ahead to get most of your day.

I would even recommend this if you care about Dutch history. It's very informative and naarden is also a great small city, it breathes history. Museum is all in Dutch, no other languages in any of the signs.

Exquisitely designed small museum with great amounts of information down in the bottom of the casemate, nice eatery, delightful staff and resident goat herd. Kudos again to the designers.

(Translated by Google) A visit to this museum is worthwhile to learn more about how a fortress works. Especially recommended without rain! (Original) Een bezoekje aan dit museum is het waard om meer te weten te komen over de werking van een vesting. Vooral aan te raden zonder regen!

Well worth a visit! Set in the historic town of Naarden. Old Fort with many audio/visual guides. “Speurtocht” is very engaging for kids. Staff were super friendly!

Our friends took us to this place and we were very impressed It feels like you are turning back in time Very beautiful, calm and peaceful I would like to go back again, definitely ! Stunning architecture, all the village is stunning!

This is awesome, especially on "schuttersdagen" when they shoot some cannons, check the agenda for that one. It's an interesting experience to walk through the "vesting" and get a taste of how it was like living, working and fighting in the old days. Vesting stad Naarden is a beautiful and very interesting town with a rich but bloody history. You can walk around it, very photogenic and in the museum a lot of volunteers who are willing to explain things or show you around.

Very nice impression of the Dutch water defense line. The dark passages give a good idea of how it must have felt for a soldier waiting for the Spanish to cross the moat.. recommend a visit!

Nice adventure for the kids as well. There is a public parking nearby but reduced in size in the weekends due to public market. Most of the displayed text is in Dutch

Overall great experience, however the staff did not speak English very well, not all information was available in English, and some parts of the museum were closed. What we could access however was very interesting and educational. I am glad that I visited.

Probably the best museum we have yet visites in the Netherlands. Well maintained, informative and beautiful surroundings. Special mention to our guide Rene who went out of his way to show us around. Een ABSOLUTE aanrader. We will be back

Nice and big museum, bit spooky tunnels, perfect spot to see beautiful view of the city

Interesting local history, nice view and cute shop. Peaceful place wasn't crowded. Most texts and legendas aren't available in English. You can use your museumcard here.

(Translated by Google) Nice to find out all the background information on the spot! (Original) Leuk om alle achtergrond informatie ter plekke te weten te komen!

(Translated by Google) Very nice ! (Original) Erg leuk !

(Translated by Google) Very nice and interesting museum. (Original) Heel mooi en interessant museum.

(Translated by Google) Nice museum. (Original) Mooi museum.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful location with a lot of authentic and historical material. With many very committed volunteers to keep everything in good condition. (Original) Mooie locatie met zeer veel authentiek en historisch materiaal. Met veel zeer betrokken vrijwilligers om e.e.a. in goede staat te houden.

(Translated by Google) Museum that is beautifully situated in the fortress wall of Naarden. You can then walk in the corridors and you will receive interesting information about the establishment and water line. (Original) Museum dat mooi gelegen is in de vestingsmuur van Naarden. Je kan dan in de gangen te lopen en je krijgt interessante informatie over o.a. de vestiging en water linie.

I liked it a lot! Especially the free goats, witch walk around, gives the whole museum a nice flair!

Beautiful territory and very interesting exhibitions split into several halls in different parts of the fortress. Very helpful and welcoming museum staff. We loved that there were no fences, one can walk and climb any corner of the fortress. Great experience!

(Translated by Google) The closest star-shaped citadel to Amsterdam. It has the most beautiful shape of any existing fortified city, and the building is very beautiful because it has a long history even during the Naarden era. The museum is basically written in Dutch and sometimes in English. (Original) アムステルダムから一番近い星形城塞。現存する城塞都市の中で最も綺麗に形が残ってますしナールデン時代も歴史が深いため建物が非常に美しいです。博物館は基本的にはオランダ語でたまに英語表記。

(Translated by Google) Fantastic exhibition about the siege of Naarden 1813 1814. If you want an idea of ​​how we managed to get rid of the last French and build the present-day Netherlands, then this is a must. (Original) Fantastische tentoonstelling over het beleg van Naarden 1813 1814. Als u een idee wilt hebben hoe we de laatste Fransen eruit geknikkerd hebben en konden gaan bouwen aan het huidige Nederland dan is dit een aanrader.

(Translated by Google) Interesting and educational (Original) Interessant en leerzaam

Nice museum but lacks English translation of the exposition

(Translated by Google) Those were a nice two hours (that's the nice thing about a museum year ticket). Small well-arranged museum, beautiful surroundings with beautiful views, fun treasure hunt for children. (Original) Dat waren een leuke twee uurtjes (dat is het leuke van een museumjaarkaart). Klein overzichtelijk museum, mooie omgeving met prachtig uitzicht, leuke speurtocht voor kinderen.

interesting place to learn Dutch history 立て籠っても戦には勝てない

(Translated by Google) Rop (Original) Rop

Sky view looks awesome but the place itself hasn't much to offer.

When visiting from Canada, we stopped by Naarden and this museum. It's a beautiful and fascinating place to see. Highly recommended.

Great museum that is very kids friendly.

Definitely worth a stop when possible. Both the real thing and a learning experience when it comes to the history of fortresses.

Not far from Amsterdam, but tucked away in a tiny corner, one gets to see the engineering marvels of the Dutch. The star shaped.double moats look beautiful and the walk on the ramparts is also breath-taking. The museum gives further insight into the construction of the whole fort and the life of the soldiers who lived there. And to top it all of, got a live demonstration of a canon shooting!

(Translated by Google) This is a beautiful old fortress, also very ideal at high temperatures, because you can cool off inside the corridors. (Original) Dit is een mooie oude vesting, ook heel ideaal bij hoge temperaturen, want je kunt binnen in de gangen lekker afkoelen.

Great experience. Very knowledgeable staff and good exhibit about the Dutch Water Line.

(Translated by Google) Nicely located, friendly people (Original) Mooi gelegen, vriendelijke mensen

(Translated by Google) Very cool and beautiful historical part of the Netherlands. With good weather it is also very nice to sit at a picnic table and look over the fortress. Most text is only in Dutch, no problem for me, but for foreign visitors it is. (Original) Heel gaaf en mooi historische stukje van Nederland. Met mooi weer is het ook erg lekker om aan een picknick tafel te zitten en over de vesting heen te kijken. De meeste tekst is alleen in het Nederlands, voor mij geen probleem, maar voor buitenslandse bezoekers wel.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum in authentic buildings. Clear information about the objects. Partially wheelchair friendly. Good information about the history of the fortress. (Original) Zeer interessant museum in authentieke gebouwen. Duidelijke informatie over de objecten. Gedeeltelijk rolstoelvriendelijk. Goede informatie over de geschiedenis van de vesting.

(Translated by Google) Nice design of the ford. And scary dark hallways. Hospital ward seemed real. And nice that every goat has its own home (Original) Leuke opzet van het ford. En enge donkere gangen. Ziekenzaal leek wel echt. En leuk dat elke geit een eigen huis heeft

(Translated by Google) Never thought that there is so much to see above and below this fortress. (Original) Nooit gedacht dat er bij deze vesting boven- en ondergronds zoveel te zien is.

(Translated by Google) Interesting museum (Original) Interessant museum

(Translated by Google) Very interesting, learned a lot about the history of the establishment (Original) Zeer interessant, heb veel over de geschiedenis geleerd van de vestiging

(Translated by Google) This museum was a bit disappointing when we compare it to how other museums manage during Corona time. There was no cruise, no cannon shot, and no tours on our visit day. Two friendly employees on the whole site, but that was it. You then walk a bit rudderless across the terrain, which would be much more profitable if it were made more interactive and modern in terms of presentation. Far too many pieces of text and then only in Dutch. That is really no longer possible. What I find bad in terms of safety is the bad deposit above a six meter deep kazemate entrance !! It is waiting for a toddler who once escapes from his parents and falls to his death. Address immediately! (Original) Dit museum viel toch wat tegen als we het afzetten tegen hoe andere musea zich redden tijdens Corona tijd. Er was geen rondvaart, geen kanonschot en geen rondleidingen op onze bezoekdag. Wel twee vriendelijke medewerkers op het hele terrein, maar dat was het. Je loopt dan toch een beetje stuurloos over het terrein waar enorm veel meer uit te halen zou zijn als het interactiever en qua presentatie moderner zou worden gemaakt. Veel teveel lappen tekst en dan ook nog alleen in het Nederlands. Dat kan echt niet meer. Wat ik qua veiligheid kwalijk vind is de slechte afzetting boven een zes meter diepe kazematingang!! Het is wachten op een dreumes die een keer ontsnapt aan zijn ouders en zich dood valt. Direct aanpakken!

Really nice place with lots of information about Naarden and surrounding. And of course the beautiful views.

Nice place to visit

(Translated by Google) I love visiting historical places like this ... I would really like an audio translation in Russian (Original) Люблю посещать исторические места,как это...очень бы хотелось аудиоперевод на русском языке

(Translated by Google) Nice outdoor museum with fort, cave exhibition, toilet (Original) 不錯的戶外博物館，有砲台，有洞穴展覽，有廁所

(Translated by Google) Well-preserved military fortress, typical star-shaped fortress. From the outside, you can see the view of the fortress and the defense configuration of the fort, and the inside of the fort is very cool, introducing the history of the year and displaying historical relics. In addition, the museum also raised several sheep, which is very healing. Unfortunately, due to the epidemic, all group activities have been cancelled, such as cruises, guided tours, and Garrison day. Overall it is a good experience. (Original) 保存良好的軍事要塞，典型的星型堡壘。外部可以觀看炮臺及堡壘防禦配置的景色，而堡壘內部很涼爽，介紹當年的歷史並擺放歷史文物。另外博物館還飼養了幾隻羊，很療愈。可惜因疫情關係，所有團體活動皆取消，例如遊船，導覽團，Garrison day都暫時取消了。整體來說是不錯的體驗。

(Translated by Google) Very interesting museum, also for children who can see and touch the history. Been a nice visit. (Original) Zeer interessant museum , ook voor kinderen die kunnen de geschiedenis zien en aanraken . Een leuk bezoek geweest.

(Translated by Google) Very informative, worth a visit (Original) Erg informatief, bezoek waard

(Translated by Google) Unique location, hospitable and knowledgeable staff / volunteers. Presentations inside fun and informative but in some casemates a bit messy. Definitely worth it if you want to know the history of NL (Original) Unieke locatie, gastvrije en goed geïnformeerde staf/vrijwilligers. Presentaties binnen leuk en informatief maar in sommige kazematten beetje rommelig. Zeker de moeite waard als je de geschiedenis van NL wilt kennen
