The staffs are very friendly and helpful. My kids were very happy to be there. The “scavenger hunt” was great. We’ve learned a lot. And after weighing everyone got a certificate just like hundreds years ago, nice! Loved the whole experience wonderful village beautiful scenery and tourism, particular merit must go to the of witchcraft delving into the history of Hollands treatment of anyone not fitting the norm, with it's muted warning of how society can become bigoted and cruel when misled by those in power🤔❤️🇳🇱 Nice for a quick visit. Information is in English and Dutch. It can be seen in about 30 min - 1h depending if you read everything and watch every video. You can get weight and get a certificate that you’re not a witch. There’s a toilet and a small shop. The general admission per adult is 7.50, although if you have the card the entrance it’s free. The scales to get weight are on the ground floor, but videos and further information are on the first floor. I did not see an elevator. The website of the offers reservation and we did reserve, but people were not being asked for it. So maybe reserve to be sure for a spot in case is a busy day. Important history of witches, and parallels with modern day pariahs well covered. Focused on humanising experience to understand both the accused dilemma and why someone might accuse or bear false witness. De Heksenwaag is a fascinating place to learn about the history of witch trials. The is small but full of interesting information and artifacts. The original weighing scale, once used to determine if someone was a witch, is a unique part of history. You can even get yourself weighted and receive a certificate that you are not a witch (if lucky😉). It’s a great stop for anyone curious about local history or the darker side of the past. A must-visit if you’re in the area! Interesting museum! Find out if you are a witch here!:) Beautiful setting. Sat outside in the middle of the village. Excellent, friendly service. Good choice on menu. Dinner very good (fish) It's a tiny museum, perhaps a bit costly (8.50 euros to see only the scale) but it has its fashion. The audio-visual material is rather limited. Interesting collection of books. Some good old editions. A quick trip to a quaint location. The staff are polite, patient and very enthusiastic making you feel comfortable right away.
