Maritime Museum
Rotterdam's premier maritime museum blends 850,000 historic objects with interactive hands-on exhibitions like the 'Offshore Experience' oil-rig simulator. Explore historic ships, tugboats and working cranes in the museum harbour outside—many are climbable—plus engaging activities like 'Professor Splash' for younger explorers. There's also a café for food and drinks on-site.
Book timeslots online in advance for the 'Professor Splash' children's exhibition as it's crowd-controlled; the historic ships and cranes in the harbour are free to explore even without purchasing museum admission.
