The basics

Rotterdam’s Maritime Museum is one of the most popular attractions for families in the city, so book your ticket in advance to avoid waiting in line. Once inside, admire the collection of historic model ships, try operating an offshore oil and gas platform, see a live demonstration of steelworking by a blacksmith, and board various ships permanently docked in the harbor outside. The museum also has a port-themed play area for kids up to 10 years old and offers narrated boat tours around Rotterdam’s Maritime District.

Things to know before you go

  • Though the Maritime Museum offers interactive exhibitions and activities designed for kids, there’s plenty to see and do for adults. Peruse the collection of antique photos, models, blueprints, videos, uniforms, and artifacts dating back to the 15th century, and visit the maritime-themed temporary exhibitions.

  • The museum has a full range of services, from a café and museum shop to audio guides and boat tours.

  • Many of the museum’s most popular attractions—including the Kids Marina, where kids can drive miniature boats—are outdoors in the harbor area of the museum, so dress for the weather.

  • The museum’s indoor areas are accessible to wheelchairs or strollers; the moored ships outside in the harbor can only be boarded via gangplanks and are not wheelchair accessible.

Family-friendly Rotterdam

The Maritime Museum is one of Rotterdam’s most unique kid-friendly attractions, but this vibrant city is packed with fun sights and activities for young visitors. In addition to crowd-pleasers like the Rotterdam Zoo (Diergaarde Blijdorp), Villa Zebra children’s art museum, and Miniworld’s model cities and countryside, dozens of unique and perfectly maintained playgrounds are scattered across the city. Remember that some playgrounds charge a nominal fee (usually around €1) to enter.
