At the very top is a room where beautiful 3D films are always shown. Themes that are discussed are the earth in space, nature and sustainability.
Natural History Museum in Maastricht
Whether your child is interested in nature or not, a giant dinosaur skeleton is always cool. Big claws and rows of teeth… they are the wonders of nature.

Hundreds of stuffed animals in old-fashioned display cases give your children a reason to look out for them. All shapes, sizes, colours, similarities and differences are simply impressive and educational!
Limburgs Museum in Venlo
The Limburg Museum is not a children's museum, but has super fun activities for children.

World Pavilion in Steyl
Adventurous children go on a world tour in Steyl. Here is the World Pavilion where children are taken to other worlds, such as Nicaragua and Ghana, with games, virtual reality, music and workshops.
