Experience the May holiday at Fort Kijkduin!

From feeding sharks to fort tales

During the May holiday, there’s so much to discover at Fort Kijkduin! Every day (except Friday), there are fish feeding rounds in the North Sea Aquarium at 12:30, 14:30, and 15:30. A caretaker will tell you all about the animals and their eating habits.

If you dare, you can even feed the fish yourself – hand-feeding shrimp to sharks! Fish food bags are available in the aquarium (while supplies last).

The fort itself also comes to life during free guided tours. On Thursdays and Saturdays, there is a Dutch-speaking tour at 11:30 AM and a German-speaking tour at 1:30 PM. The guide will take you through the fascinating history of the fort: who lived here, why it was built, and what it looked like.
