Muiderslot, Muiden

Super place. The parking place can be accessed until the entrance of the castle. The castle is very beautifully maintained. There is a lot for the kids to explore and learn regarding the king that ruled during 1500. There are nice parks and walking paths around the castle where you can spend time with family in eating and drinking together. Ensure to walk through the little peaks from where you can enjoy the green and natural background of Muiden.

Lovely place to spend the day with kids. Age 3-8 were interested and enjoyed the nice audio presentation by themselves. The surrounding is beautiful, and we spent at least 2 hours outside just running around. We also ate some veggie sandwiches in the restaurant near the castle. Finished the trip with a relaxed time in the castle gardens with a free activity for the kids - drawing the flower of the garden. Surprisingly they all played along and really enjoyed it.

Great castle and surrounding garden and paths. Very interesting to see how the place was run and defended outside and in. Loads of cool little things to be seen all around the place. And an arcade game on the floor just above the drawbridge for kids and adults where you drop stones to stop the invaders from entering the castle.

Muiderslot is a well maintained castle. A lot of the rooms and areas are restored to mimic their original condition. They have done a great job at making the tour interesting, interactive and a learning experience for all ages. Recommend to take the audio tour as you get a nice background story to each of the rooms and space of the castle. The garden is also nice to walk around on a nice sunny day.

From a tourist point of view, this was a very nice insight into middle ages. It was nice having a small trip in history and understand a little bit of people's lives from the castle. There are even small concerts with medieval atmosphere, so it feels truly authentic. It's bike friendly, so you can visit it during your stay in Amsterdam (takes about 40 min to 1 hour).
