Natural History

About this hidden gem

Discover what lives under the surface of the water in our own little country at the Nature Museum Fryslân.

Why you really want to visit this place

Besides learning all about Darwin's theory, albinos and many other different topics, they now also have a real attraction: the Underwater Safari (accessible for 4+). Here, you take a trip in a special vehicle, discovering along the way all kinds of things about all the animals and plants that live under the surface of the water in our little country, from the fresh water of ditches and puddles to the salt water of the Wadden Sea. And who knows, you might come across the Big Five of the underwater world of the Netherlands: the beaver, otter, catfish, seal and porpoise!

This is how they (and you) make a difference
