Experience Volendam

Take part in a virtual reality voyage with Experience Volendam, where guests travel 100 years in the past to see Volendam as the small fishing village it once was.

Go back in time in Volendam

One of the best-known villages in the Netherlands, Volendam now features an attraction that relives the glory of the past and caters to all ages. Thanks to the state-of-the-art technology of virtual reality, visitors can travel a hundred years back in time to experience Volendam when it was still just a small fishing village. First, guests will learn how people truly lived in the year 1916, with stories told from a charming guide dressed in traditional Volendam costume. The guide describes the old Volendam: the houses, the boats and even the outfits the villagers wore. On the ground floor of the Experience Volendam attraction, guests walk a 100-year-old street and take a peek around an authentic Volendam home. Guests then step onto boat, don a pair of Oculus Rift virtual reality glasses, and look around Volendam as it appeared 100 years ago, all while taking part in an action-packed adventure that tells the story of love, life and Volendam.
