We visited the UNESCO World Heritage site at Kinderdijk and came away extremely impressed. The 19 windmills, a few of which still serve as residences, are inspiring in themselves, but the video (available in English) is clever and informative as well. You are able to enter into a working mill and see exactly how it works and how the family... More

Windmills are common sight across Netherlands. However, Kinderdijk has perhaps the large number of windmills of Old Type in one location. Easy to access and also there are fun things for children to do like take a canal trip or cycling. You may even see an operational windmill ( for a charge) or just walk along the path and capture...

Kinderdijk features a large concentration of windmills, and you can tour the inside works while in operation. It is a nice site to walk, cycle and gain insight into Dutch history and culture. Be sure to see the multi-media presentation on-site that really tells a lot about the Dutch and their two-step pumping water management system. The program is a... More

It is the neighberhood of Rotterdam. It's great for a short stop - you can walk the promenade and take a few pictures. It is really beautiful to see all those authentic mills. In some of the mills people actually live and they made their house from it. Enjoy also the nature - at this moment there are goose's and... More

Here you can see the inside of a windmill and how it works and how they lived. There is also many windmills, take a canal trip or walk/cycle. Something different but nice to see.

This UNESCO heritage site of windmills was absolutely awesome. We were able to access one windmill in operation, and see how people lived in the Old Days. There were extensive paths, which gave you access and great photo opportunities of the 18 or so windmills in this area. This was a very impressive visit to the heart of Holland and... More

The windmills are a spinning good time! Sit with a nice beverage and watch the ducks and ducklings go by on a beautiful day with the windmills as a back drop or take a walk and breath in the fresh air as you pass a farmer planting her crops in spring. It is worth the trip in spring from Amsterdam... More

There is much fun to be there with the whole family there is also romantic and beautiful scenery ... remember to take coffee with you .. there is a bench to sit shoot fine and the whole area is not more than type 1 km long.Finally, choose a nice weather day.

Kinderdijk is a must-see for anyone interested in a windmill that moves water. It's true as someone also commented that it is not as well-organized as some places, but that does make it a bit less "touristy". My advice to properly take advantage of the experience: first purchase your tickets at the "visitor center", a large building you walk over... More
