Free parking, and the ferry takes you to Kinderdijk's windmills in five minutes for €2.35, departing directly from the pier by the windmills.Translating
Free parking near the ferry stop for Kinderdijk. Rather expensive: €7.95 per trip for two adults and two children. Entry to the park with the boat tour of the windmills costs €55. Perhaps it would have been better to park directly at the park; the cost was €9.95.Translating
Excellent parking with access to the windmills via the shuttle, €4.70 for two people and free for the dog. However, they have installed chicanes at the entrance that limit motorhomes to 6.80 m (personally, it is already tight for 6 m).Translating
Very good for walking to the windmills. Today's fare: €2.35 per person each way.Translating
Very good, quiet and secure parking for visiting the windmills. The shuttle boat is a few minutes' walk away.Translating
Fantastic place to park, with the water bus at the end of the car park and a café there too. A special boat comes approximately every 15 minutes to the windmill; stand on the left of the boarding area.Translating
Safe place. We did not sleep there, but it looks quiet. Residential area. It takes you to Kinderdijk in five minutes. Children under four do not pay, but the very friendly inspector did not charge us even though my son is eight.Translating
We parked for free and then took the €2 ferry for five minutes to visit the windmills. The ferry arrives right opposite the windmills… perfect!Translating
Free and very convenient for taking the ferry to Kinderdijk.Translating
Perfect for going to Kinderdijk by river shuttle. However, beware of the departure times: during the off-season there is no service between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. We had to take a shuttle towards Rotterdam and then another one serving Kinderdijk. The company staff kindly gave us directions so we wouldn't have to wait at the pier.Translating
Five stars because of the ferry to Kinderdijk. I did not even try to stay overnight.Translating
Daytime parking only for visiting the windmills; the ferry boarding point is very close.Translating
