There is a lot to experience especially for the little ones among us! We take them on a treasure hunt and let them discover all the secrets of MergelRijk in a playful way. Using films by the sand wizard, the children make their own sand drawing, discover a special fossil and mining museum and answer questions via the interactive tablets. As the icing on the cream cake, they are allowed to work in the cave workshop with their one and only, own, own work of art.
Have you always been interested in art and culture? During the Marl workshop in the cave workshop, one of our professional sculptors shows you how to work a piece of marl in the best way.
Play tactically, solve riddles and look for the hidden clues. Will your team be the first to unravel the mystery of MergelRijk? Take the challenge and participate in The Cave Challenge.
Immediately upon entering, the endless historical journey through the ancient corridors begins. The rich history is tangible and is supported by an interesting and educational tour.
The kids come face to face with huge dinosaurs, dig up the oldest marl fossils and get to work with their own artwork in the cave workshop. In short, a party to remember!
