A world of cheese... for young explorers!
Step into the world of Holland's most famous cheese and playfully introduce your children to the story behind Gouda cheese. The Gouda Cheese Experience is not only a feast for the taste buds of adults, but also an interactive experience for little cheese heads. From virtually milking cows to a cheerful cheese hunt: this is tasty learning. And without school desks!
Scavenger hunts and games turn cheese into an adventure
For kids, it's all about discovery. That's why the Gouda Cheese Experience has developed an interactive treasure hunt especially for young visitors. Armed with a scavenger hunt book (and maybe a little help from mum or dad), they will search for answers, hidden cheeses and fun facts. Meanwhile, they learn all about milk, cows, cheese making and maturing without it feeling like learning!
Did you know that a cheese is turned hundreds of times before it is ready to be eaten? Of course, the best way to learn is to do it yourself!
Interactive zones: touch, smell, taste and play
Children are allowed to touch everything here! The experience at the Gouda Cheese Experience is full of interactive games: from the virtual milking of a cow to a cheese selfie with a cheese wheel bigger than yourself. Everything is aimed at taking children into the world of craft and tradition in an accessible way. You feel that, you taste that. We were not awarded TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice 2024 for nothing!
Tasting tip: Even picky eaters will find their favourite at the child-friendly cheese tasting, with milder cheeses specially selected for young taste buds.
Cheese on your plate: Enjoy!
An educational day calls for a tasty ending. In the café of the Gouda Cheese Experience, families can enjoy a delicious board full of various Gouda cheeses. Still hungry after this? Then a visit to the syrup waffle factory is the ideal continuation of a tasty day!
Why young and old love cheese (and the Experience)
The strength of the Gouda Cheese Experience lies in the combination of education, entertainment and a good dose of fun. While children marvel, parents enjoy the rich history, tasting sessions and a glimpse of true craftsmanship. This turns a day out into an experience for the whole family, especially as children up to four years old can enter for free!
