Kinderdijk Windmills & Roosendaal Outlet Shopping Tour

Nineteen windmills and a day on your own schedule

A self-guided day combining two Dutch landmarks: the UNESCO-listed windmills of Kinderdijk, where nineteen historic mills show how the Dutch have managed water for centuries, and McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Roosendaal for shopping. Your package includes Kinderdijk admission, free parking at the outlet and a Fashion Passport for an extra 10% discount at participating stores. Travel between the two locations independently and set your own pace at each.

Step-by-step itinerary

Visit Kinderdijk and Outlet Shopping

• Explore UNESCO windmills at Kinderdijk
• Travel independently to Roosendaal Outlet
• Shop with extra 10% off at outlet

The experience

Kinderdijk sits about 25 kilometers from Rotterdam and holds nineteen windmills that form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mills represent centuries of Dutch engineering and the relationship between the country and water management, not just a visual landmark, but a working example of how the Dutch have lived alongside water. You get admission to explore the site, and the time you spend there is entirely yours: some visitors spend two hours walking the grounds and taking photographs, while others linger longer to understand the history of each mill.

After Kinderdijk, you travel independently to McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Roosendaal, about 30 kilometers away. The outlet sits on the outskirts of Roosendaal and offers designer and brand-name shopping across multiple stores. Your package includes free parking at the outlet (normally €5) and a Fashion Passport that gives you an extra 10% off at selected stores beyond any existing discounts. How much time you spend shopping is up to you: a quick browse or a full afternoon, depending on what you're after.

The flexibility here means you control the day. There's no fixed schedule, no group moving together, and no pressure to rush between stops. You can spend more time at the windmills if the history draws you in, or skip ahead to the outlet if shopping is your priority. The only logistics you need to arrange are your own transport between Kinderdijk and Roosendaal, though both are accessible by car or public transit from the region.

What’s included

• Kinderdijk admission voucher redeemable on any date.
• free parking at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Roosendaal.
• Fashion Passport for an extra 10% off at selected outlet stores.

Is this one for you?Since you travel and explore both locations at your own pace, this works best if you have a full day and want to set your own schedule without a guide or group keeping time. If you prefer a guided tour with fixed stops and a set itinerary, a group tour would suit you better.
