Children's Museum

Radboud Castle is also a treat for children. Parts of our exhibitions have been specially arranged for them. In addition, there is a play loft, for them to draw, play or do crafts in between.

Radboud Castle-Gerrie flies

Gerrie the lion dragon

Join Gerrie the lion dragon on a journey through time! In the audio tour, Gerrie tells you more about the castle and life in the Middle Ages. But our mascot doesn't know everything either. Do you?

Castle of St. Nicholas

Vanaf 17 november logeert Sinterklaas weer in Kasteel Radboud. Het kasteel is helemaal in stijl versierd én je kunt zijn slaapkamer bekijken! Sinterklaas zelf is hard aan het werk, maar in het weekend is hij thuis. Kom je gezellig langs?

Then you can help the Pieten look for hidden presents. If Sinterklaas is not here, you can take a look at his bedroom and show that you are a Speurpiet. See the activities for more information.

Lucettes

Would you like to do medieval crafts? Come Lucets in Radboud Castle!

A lucet is a kind of fork with two prongs around which you wrap threads. You can compare it to punning. In the Middle Ages it was widely used to make jacket clasps. Lucets is included in the museum visit.

Reviews

Wonderful place to go especially during theme weekends. Nice games for staff parties. Good exhibits. For the kids fun games, a nice play loft, a scavenger hunt and a nice diploma if they completed it. In short, definitely recommended to go.

The castle and its history. A fine place where you lose track of time. Check out the vacation activities! The Owl workshop today was fantastic!!!
