Deltapark Neeltje Jans

In the heart of the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier lies Deltapark Neeltje Jans: a place where nature, engineering, and the story of the delta come together. Here, you experience the impact of water, the resilience of the landscape, and the choices we make to protect land and life.

Through interactive exhibits, films, and attractions, you’ll discover how the Delta Works were created, why the Eastern Scheldt remains open, and what that means for life in and around the water. From storm surges to seals: everything here is connected.
