In just one day you experience Prehistory, Roman Times, and the Middle Ages. The park has been divided into three time frames. Another jump in time will put you right in the middle of a Medieval Court of Law, a cloister, or an inn where you can enjoy a meal. You can participate in lots of activities, such as digging up pieces of ancient Roman pots or rowing a Prehistoric canoe. The wooden houses, the small shops, and the industry mills have been transported to the museum.
Houses are still inhabited, some mills are still in use and open to public.
An NS-day trip will include visiting one of these mills and the clock museum, plus a boat trip over the Zaan. Furthermore, you can visit a cheese farm, a wooden shoe factory and a pewter shop. In the animal park Apenheul you will get an entirely new experience looking at apes and monkies, because here the animals run free in the forrest. The bigger apes live free on their islands, but the smaller and more cheeky ones will definitely surprise you by jumping on your shoulders. Loo was the favourite summer residence of the Stadholders and Royal Family of the Netherlands from 1686 to 1975.
