1. Dutch Poultry Museum
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By OutragedMum - London, United Kingdom
The Netherlands Poultry museum is a small volunteer run organisation for people who want to know everything about chickens, eggs and any Paraphernalia that comes with eggs/chickens.
From odly misshapen eggs, to early brood machines, to egg cups, to baby chicks, to egg auctions, to battery and free range chickens and of course various Dutch breeds of chickens.
The caffee servers good coffee with Dutch apple pie and there is a play garden for the lille ones next to the Terrace. They also hire out meeting rooms for companies!
The museum shop sells, apart from a wide range of chicken and egg related articles, lovely Advocaat and fertilised eggs for home breeding!!!! Quirky and well worth a visit.

Reviewed By Solodam J - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
It was very interesting to see all the "occupation" according to traditional methods. Some of those occupation were disappeared and some are still existed though it's completely in different condition. And seeing all vintage toys, my mind was totally back to my childhood. It's very nice to visit this museum even with your kids. You can tell them about the past too. The museum is located in a place that used to be a barn. On the the first floor is the collection of the toys. You can spend the whole day in this museum. There is also a restaurant and the museum shop sells some of those old style stuff

5. Sauna Drome Putten

3.5 based on 105 reviews
Reviewed By Johan17 - Haarlem, The Netherlands
We received a romantic package as a gift and had a super day at Sauna Drome in Putten. For us the highlights were the Hammam massage and the Aufguss Sauna.
The latter sauna is an ''aufguss" where water with oil or fragrances is poured on the hot stones and the steam is then directed to the clients. The result is a very hot steam bath in particular at the higher stages in the sauna. The process is accompanied by a story teller who tells wounderful short stories, jokes or anecdotes (in Dutch).
The hammam massage involves a traditional massage with scrubbing, hot water and soap and is very relaxing for the muscles. It is followed by a nice tea in a separate room.
Also the subsequent stay at Hotel Hof van Putten was enjoyable with a nice prosecco in the room and the bed covered with rose buds (manmade).
Very good value for money.
6. Sauna & Beauty de Veluwe

Reviewed By Travel_Spy2015 - Wageningen, The Netherlands
We spent a great day here at the spa. Lots of facilities, all well kept and clean. Bad experience in the resto, though. Went for a snack a little after noon, and waited almost a full hour for it to be served. Half a second from walking out the food was delivered. We had to rush through it. Very annoying. The staff was very young, with no apparent supervision on the restaurant floor. Complained to manager on the way out and got no offer of compensation of any kind. Will take our lunch next time we visit. Go to the spa, but eat at the Lunterse Boer. It's right around the corner.
7. De Hoge Veluwe National Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 701 reviews
The major attractions located in this pretty area of heath and woodlands include the Jachtslot St. Hubertus, an impressive Art Deco hunting lodge, and the Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller, which features a rich cross-section of modern European art.

The Hoge Veluwe National Park has amazing types of landscapes including desert, grasslands and heavily wooded areas. Lovely to cycle around, there are free bicycles available. The Park is also home to the Kroner Muller Museum that houses modern and not so modern works of art, including a large collection of Vincent Van Gogh's works.
An amazing day, a unique treat, indeed, with the opportunity to cycle around for hours in the park after admiring the hundreds of works of art.
8. Koppelpoort

The Koppelpoort is a city gate in Amersfoort. It is a combination of land and water gate. The name is probably derived from the East Middle Dutch word Coppel meaning meadow
Reviewed By CockneyBrum - Worcestershire, United Kingdom
This was well worth navigating the tricky, narrow streets to see. There was a couple having their wedding photos taken here and I don't blame them. It's a stunning piece of architecture.. We loved our time walking the leafy streets of Amersfoort. It's stunningly beautiful.
9. De Passiflorahoeve

Reviewed By nielshartgers - Amersfoort, The Netherlands
This attraction is located in a rural area near Ede and you will definitely need navigation to find it.
Basically it consists of several butterfly Gardens as well as some Gardens with exotical plants and wild flowers.
The butterfly Gardens are seperated in areas with exotic and european butterflies which is nice since I do not know any other butterlfy Gardens specializing in european species. The Gardens are very well designed and have a lot of butterflies, more so than for instance the hortus in Utrecht (which we visited a few weeks earlier). It is also clear that they breed their own butterflies and the process is shown in an instructive manner.
Recently they added a 'butterlfy friendly garden' which is just a garden with lots of beautiful wild flowers, with lots of butterflies but also other insects like bees. I have to say that it is a beautiful sight.
It is possible to buy some drinks and snacks and there is a large free car park.
So it is a really nice place and we liked visiting it but there is one drawback....and that is the reason I am only giving them 3 balls....the price is rather steep....it is 6,50 euro pp (for adults) and I just think this is too much...after all one hour is enough to see everything.
10. Escaperoom The Circle

Ready to take up the challenge? Together with friends, family or collegues experience one of three escaperooms, virtual reality arcade games or complete a GPS challenge. Enjoy some drinks on the side.

My friend and I travelled from Amsterdam to Veenendaal (which is a short train ride) and went to this escape room. It is suitable for English speakers or non-Dutch speakers and the owner, Jelle can speak English too. Definitely worth a try if you are in Amsterdam, to travel here and play the escape room. Suitable for groups of 3 or more. It was so much fun! Thanks!
