Tips from the Community
The cycle path along the Baanhoekbrug is closed to cyclists and pedestrians from July 17, 2026, to April 21, 2027, due to work on the N3 Papendrechtsebrug. Use the replacement ferry. More information at www.rws.nl/papendrechtsebrug.

Very impressive how large this complex with the many windmills is. In the middle, a dam with a foot/cycle path runs through it, for which you don't have to pay. But if you want to go directly to the windmills, then it costs admission. Tickets can be bought online or on-site at the visitor center. On weekends and especially on weekends with good weather, it can also get veeeery crowded there. kinderdijk.nl

Very nice to see the many windmills, which are also regularly put into operation. The path through the mills is free of charge. However, if you want to enter the mill grounds directly, you have to pay an entrance fee.

The mills are inhabited and rented out. Tenants must be certified millers and turn the sails 60,000 times a year to keep the mill in top condition. Training to become a miller takes two years.

Anyone visiting South Holland cannot miss a visit to the windmills of Kinderdijk. Admission to the site is free, but the tour of the windmills is not. You can also see all the sights in one go by purchasing a combination ticket. This also includes a boat trip along the canals. Unlike the windmills of Zannse Schans, the windmills of Kinderdijk have retained their authenticity. They don't appear kitschy or tourist-oriented at all, and they aren't overcrowded. However, you're almost never completely without tourists. A visit in the late afternoon is recommended, as most of the crowds are over by then. Incidentally, there are now a limited number of parking spaces in front of the entrance. The cost is just under €10 per day! There is also a shuttle bus to the nearest village, which costs the same amount, including the parking fee.
