Deltapark Neeltje Jans
A theme park on an artificial island atop a storm surge barrier, where you can walk inside the barrier pillars to learn about the Delta Works, with seal shows and a water park.
The park sits on an artificial island in the middle of the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier. Its core is the Delta Expo, which explains the 1953 flood and the Delta Works through models and films. You can also walk inside the barrier pillars to see the giant gates. Other attractions include seal and sea lion shows, a storm simulator, a summer water park and boat rides, making it a good choice for families. Admission is about 25 euros (covering most attractions), and you should plan for half a day. Some facilities close in winter.
