Oertijdmuseum
The Netherlands' largest geological museum with life-sized dinosaur replicas and an extensive fossil collection spanning four hectares. Indoor exhibits feature interactive fossil preparation labs where visitors watch volunteers work; outdoor prehistoric forest has 23-metre-long sauropod skeletons, climbing dinosaurs, multiple playgrounds, and ancient tree species. Scavenger hunts tailored by age group and augmented reality app add modern engagement to the paleontology experience.
Bus lines 144/145 run directly from Boxtel train station to the museum; plan 3-5 hours to see all exhibits and outdoor areas without rushing, particularly if pursuing the scavenger hunts.
