Museon

Stadhouderslaan 37, The Hague, Netherlands, 2517 HV

The Basics

Aimed at kids age 8 and up, the museum addresses major contemporary issues such as cloning, religion, and the environment through the use of accessible and innovative multimedia shows, models, and games. Screens scattered throughout the galleries operate a scavenger hunt in several languages, and there are enough sparkly rocks and minerals on the second floor to kick-start an early interest in geology. While not enormous, the museum has plenty to distract curious youngsters for a couple of hours.

Entry to Museon is included with the Museumkaart program, which also includes admission to other family attractions in Den Haag such as the Children’s Book Museum (Kinderboekenmuseum).
