Fort Kijkduin: fort passages and North Sea life

Fort Kijkduin in Huisduinen combines exhibitions about the fort with a North Sea aquarium. Passages, a tunnel and the café make up different parts of the visitor route.

Plan your visit ↗

Exploring the building

A fort has spaces with differing functions and differing ease of access. Use the explanations to understand which part you are looking at, and follow the marked route through the passages and exhibition rooms.

An aquarium as well

Sharks and rays are mentioned among the aquarium’s attractions. See which animals and information are present on the day of your visit; live displays change, and a collection description does not guarantee any particular sighting.

View and a break

The Fortcafé offers a place to pause during your visit. The surroundings of sea and dunes can complement the museum visit, depending on the weather and the route that is feasible for you.

Before you go

A lift gives access to many rooms, but not to the underground tunnels. Check the closing days around New Year and discuss the full accessible route in advance.
