The windmills of Kinderdijk are very pretty, historic, and elegant along the canals of the Netherlands. Great tour by our guide / volunteer Jos. Loved the walking areas, and there was a canal boat option we did not take.

Kinderdijk is a fabulous way to get a better idea of Dutch ingenuity and how much of The Netherlands was created. There are 19 windmills; 2 are open to the public and the remainder are private residences. There’s a great entry/visitor’s centre which also has a gift shop, café, rooftop viewing area, and washrooms (paid, or included with ticket or purchase). With your ticket and a download of the free app, you get two versions of a guided tour, access to a multimedia film explaining the name and other factors, the historical pump house with interesting hands-on displays and a little shop, a bird exhibit, a boat tour which leaves/returns by the pump house, a hop on/off boat to the two windmills, and entry to the two windmills. It was fascinating and informative, a great way to spend several hours. Easy to get here from Rotterdam on the #21 WaterBus. Note that you can walk or cycle past the windmills without cost, but you can’t enter, use washrooms, see displays, go on boat, etc.

Nice place to visit, even it deserves to come from Amsterdam as a day trip plan. You can go through the site without ticket but if you want to visit inside of the mills and have chance to take a ferry you should buy ticket. Price of ticket is about 18 euro. It has cafe, souvenir shop, toilet and parking lots. Enjoy nature, beauty, creativity and engineering there. Don't forget to ask leaders to tell you the function of the mills.

This was an unusual experience, you can experience nice scenery, you can choose to walk or ride a bike around. Sometimes bikes are not available for unknown reasons (or at least not understandable for me) and that would be the only remark. Other than that, definitely worth of visiting and experiencing. Entrance fee is a bit on the high side.

It was a great experience to actually visit the oldest collection of 18th century's traditional windmills. The place is calm and serene. You can walk or bike while passing through every windmill. This is a must in your bucket list when visiting the Netherlands.
