Tough kids can celebrate their birthday in the scariest museum in the Netherlands: the Prison Gate, or Gevangenpoort. One of the museum’s guides will take you and your friends along to a special party area, from where you will start the adventurous journey, jam-packed with stories and quests, through the entire building.
A spooky storage attic
Firstly, the partygoers will be divided into two teams, The Hague Storks, and the Dutch Lions. Then the unique journey through the museum will start: through the interrogation room, though the prison cells and into the attic, where you will get to see some very strange gadgets. Finally, a visit will be paid to the torture cellar before everyone returns to the party area.
The birthday parties can only be organised if you make reservations in advance, and only for Wednesdays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
