Our water playground is the summer attraction for kids

Bring the whole family

Celebrating a child’s birthday, horsing around at the water playground, or discovering how ships are raised: a world of experience awaits you at the shiplift.

Water playground

Try out a ‘Tarzan swing,’ earn your shiplift diploma, and then picnic with your parents by the water – there’s something for the whole family to enjoy.

The water playground at the upper dock is a highlight for children and teenagers: Slide, climbing wall, two Tarzan swings, floating raft, and a whole lot of water - our playground offers everything a child’s heart desires. The artificial waterway with shiplift replica is a delightful attraction, where children can maneuver rafts up and down. The water playground opens seasonally from March until October. At the upper dock, there is another playground with wooden ship parts, inviting children to climb aboard and play pirate.

Family tour

On our guided tour ‘Where ships take the lift,’ children and parents embark on an adventurous journey: discover as a family the forces capable of lifting heavy ships 14 metres high. Equipped with a ‘bailer’ and ‘swab,’ families can tackle day-to-day life aboard a river boat.

Tours can be booked as a group programme. It is also available as an open offer every 2nd and 4th Sunday at 2 pm (subject to change at short notice. Please check our calendar of events).

TIP

Our shiplift game CLEVER SKIPPER in the permanent exhibition has seven interactive stations where ‘landlubbers’ can test their knowledge and work their way up to skipper. Fun for the whole family!
