Neeltje Jans Delta Park

Discover how the Netherlands lives with water at Deltapark Neeltje Jans, located beside the Oosterschelde Storm Surge Barrier in Zeeland. 

Combining science, engineering, nature and interactive attractions, the park gives students an engaging insight into the Delta Works, the devastating 1953 flood and the Netherlands’ ongoing efforts to protect its low-lying landscape from the sea. 

Students can explore the Delta Experience, exhibitions and films about the 1953 disaster and Delta Works, get close to the impressive storm surge barrier and take a boat trip through Oosterschelde National Park, where they may spot seals or porpoises. The park also offers marine-life exhibits and educational activities, making it a varied and memorable day out for school groups.
