Winter at the Open Air Museum

From 7 December 2024 to 19 January 2025 you can experience the winters of days gone by at the Dutch Open Air Museum – complete with nostalgic Winter Fair, atmospheric roller-skating rink, beautiful lights, Winter Market and more besides. Great fun for young and old alike!

Discover our new Winter Fair

Take a ride on a Grand Carousel dating from 1890, a chair swing ride from 1920 or a caterpillar ride from 1930. Or perhaps you’ve always dreamed of seeing a flea circus or testing your skills in a roll-a-ball derby. Have a go on the claw machine and see if you can grab yourself a teddy bear from the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Visit our brand-new Winter Fair on the Entrance Square. It’s brimming with nostalgic attractions!

A winter’s day for young and old

All over the museum you will find the most fun winter activities. Take a pleasant walk along the illuminated route through the museum and discover all the winter stories.

Would you like to know more about the Elfsteden Skating Race? Then take part in our special trail based on this famous event. Or follow the exciting Witte Wieven path and round off your visit with some delicious poffertjes on Zaan Square or a deep-fried, golden-brown oliebol from our stall on the Entrance Square.
