Excellent sight with many interactive activities for visitors of all ages, with many historic and interesting details provided over the audio guide. The terrace atop the building was also a nice stop, with a nice selection of beverages and warm colourful blankets available for capricious weather moments. The route planned for the visit also allows young ones to put their energy to good use (tunnels, stairs, wood obstacles etc.) if they choose to do so.

Over rated and overpriced. 11€ a ticket was an absolute rip off. Most of the area is a child’s education centre, we also couldn’t visit the top as there was a corporate event on. This place definitely feels like a tourist trap that is milking whatever is left.

Interesting but a little bit to expensive for what it can show you

Former fort built under Napoleon now hosting a museum and a restaurant. A fort full of history to visit with an audio guide (available at least in Dutch, French and English)... But not much concrete to see, lots of white walls. A little disappointing for the price of entry... 9€ per adult. The acoustics can be disturbing if there are a lot of people, I imagine. The rooftop is worth seeing.

I enjoy visiting this military museum and waking around with friends. Educational entertainment for children inside and outside, bar for parents, easy access with public transport.

Nice fortress, strategically built in the Ostand area, with a view of the North Sea.

Nice place to visit if you have never visited a fort before. Good audio tour - local language is a nice touch for Dutch speaking people. Also an option to have a drink in the local bar.

We did not go into the fort itself but enjoyed a cafe and lunch at the restaurant. Very friendly service and delicious dishes. Highly recommended, especially combined with a stay at the quiet beach next to it!

This place is a-OK. Listed as a museum, but it is also a restaurant. We had the croquettes and they were fabulous. Service left a little to be desired, but they were attending to a wedding. Come here to take in some history, pair it with a beer and light snack while you're at it :)
