We recently visted the village and couldn't believe the $12 admission price. There was hardly anything to do or see for that matter. I have a 6 & 3 year old and the only fun they had was on the wooden shoe slide. The only fun I had out of this visit was when we saw the dancers and one... more

My husband and I met my best friend and her 2 year old daughter here on a Monday. There were two or three field trips there so the couple rides were busy but the kids seem to treat the 2 year old nicely on the slide. We didn't try any of the other rides with her. The historical aspect was... more

We enjoyed Dutch Village with our toddler. He liked riding the carousel and we walked a goat. We also saw some dutch dancers and went in the giant wooden shoe slide. We went inside the shops which were nice. It was overpriced, but I would recommend it for families with toddlers. more

My husband and I just spent a week near Holland, Michigan and decided to visit the Dutch Village. The cost was $16.00 each for a combo ticket, which would also get us into Windmill Island, which was a short drive from the Village. When we arrived, there were only several people at the park. I was actually confused on what... more

We stopped in at dutch village and it was very disappointing. We were 2 of about 10 people in the entire park, there was nothing going on, it was really small, and the admission fee was way to high. I will not go again. more

When you're Dutch (as we are) it's irresistible to make a stop at the Holland Village, just to see what they came up with. And we weren't disappointed: all stereotypes were combined in one little village with just one Dutch person on the premises (a Dutch lady in the coffee shop/ diner). You get the wooden shoes, the flowers, the... more

My two kids, ages 12 & 15, and I, a 50 year old single mother, visited on July 8, 2007. I had been there as a child myself some 40 years ago. I saw some things that I remembered but it had a lot of new things also. The scavenger hunt was an educational opportunity for the kids. There's lots... more

I expected to find the traditional Dutch crafts, demonstrations, and architecture. Of that there was plenty to see. This is what life in the Netherlands was like over 100 years ago. Wooden Shoe making, delft pottery demonstration, a short movie about the Netherlands, a museum about Dutch costumes, cheese making equipment, and tulip bulb planting. I expected to learn a... more

My mother , children and I loved it. It was very pleasant, quaint , and attractive. It was a very nice day and well worth the price of admission. We will definately return when in the area again this year. more

We went to the Dutch Village in July and found it disappointing. The primary focus was shops. I felt we paid an entrance fee to a shopping area. Although we did not have children with us, I do not think it would be very exciting for kids. Unless you are there during tulip season, I would recomment skipping the Village. more
