We will be closed for the first three weeks after the Christmas holidays due to maintenance work in the museum. Between March and July, we welcome many school groups on weekdays, both at the historic site and in the museum. Would you like to visit the museum in peace and quiet during this period? If so, we recommend visiting the museum from 13:00 onwards.
PLEASE NOTE: You cannot drive your own car, bus or motorbike to the historic site; please park at the museum.
The admission fee includes a shuttle bus to the historic site and an audio tour (Dutch, English or German). A single return ticket for the shuttle bus costs €5.00. You can only pay by debit card at the museum.
Our museum café is open daily for hot and cold drinks, fresh sandwiches and a variety of sweet and savoury treats. We also open our terrace during the summer months. You do not need a museum ticket to visit the museum café; hikers and cyclists are also very welcome. Card payments are the only accepted form of payment in the museum and the museum café.
In our museum shop, you will find a wide range of unique souvenirs and books on the history of Camp Westerbork, the Second World War and the Schattenberg residential camp. Some of these items are also available in our online museum shop.
Groups of 15 or more people can book an educational programme. During weekends, a guided tour of the historic site can be arranged, with the option of a self-guided visit to the exhibitions either before or after the tour. It is also possible to book lunch and/or refreshments for group visits.
The Camp Westerbork Memorial Centre aims to be a place where everyone feels welcome. Find out what we offer in terms of accessibility, emotional impact and more.
