👍 Prima plek. Goed verzorgd. Wat een ruimte voor parkeren. En mooie wandelingen starten hier over de Klompenpaden. We komen terug!

👍👍 Nice and interesting museum. Thanks to top guide Ton, I heard a lot about the special country estates along the Vecht. Definitely recommended and only then take a walk past the various houses.

👍👍 Leuk en heel interessant. Een huis als geen ander en zeer modern voor de tijd waarin het gebouwd is. De audio tour is heel uitgebreid maar de heren die er rondliepen wist ook nog veel aanvullende informatie te vertellen. Kijk goed rond want er zitten onverwacht slimme dingetjes in dit huis.

Quaint, free-admission Grocery Museum & old-fashioned candy shop dating to 1873.

👍👍 Beautiful new location. Even more enthusiastic host with the best stories. If you live in Zuilen; a requirement to visit. In addition to an exhibition, an escape room will soon open, so it is worth coming back.
