The best winter outing

All the highlights of Holland in winter!

The hot chocolate (with whipped cream, of course) is already waiting for you, because this winter there’s so much to do at Madurodam. Dance under the starry night in The Dutch Masters, stroll through cozy winter scenes in the old town, and admire more than 80,000 sparkling lights throughout the park. Enjoy our indoor attractions, the coolest hands-on activities, and much more!

Experience the Dutch winter

Welcome to the Netherlands’ most charming little winter wonderland. The park sparkles from head to toe with tens of thousands of lights, cozy fire pits, and snow-covered towns. And look over there — our tiny Madurodam residents are busy shopping at one of the miniature Christmas markets. How many mini Christmas trees can you spot? 🎄

❄️ Tickets for wintery Madurodam

The snow must go on!

This winter outing doesn't just take place indoor: you can also enjoy yourself outside to the fullest. Wrap your scarf tightly and put on your gloves: prepare yourself for exciting outdoor adventures. Slide down the slides, jump over frozen streams in Rivierenland. Just like Hansje Brinker, stick your finger in the dike and save the Netherlands from an icy flood. Check right away how much cheese you weigh. Bet you can't lift three cheeses?
