Snow! Enjoy the snow at Anton Pieck.
Anton Pieck's gnome who normally says "Paper here!" calls now seems to be panicking that there is snow. Now that is a special experience in the Efteling, but the Netherlands itself is indeed in turmoil when there is exactly (only) such a thin layer of snow.

Historyland - Dinosaurs
Historyland, a unique historical theme park and museum in Hellevoetsluis. One with a high educational value. Many themes, from prehistory to the recent past that belong to history, are exhibited here. Mostly life-sized models or even real objects comprise the ever-growing collection. Often with an educational character in which you can even participate actively, such as participating in paleontological excavations or prospecting for gold, make this theme park particularly suitable as a learning environment. The park and a number of buildings offer enough subjects for a nice day with lots of fun but also an educational day.

Sleeping Beauty Castle - completed in 1992, for the park's 12 April opening, Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant stands 50 meters (160 ft) tall. The Castle is home to a dragon, which, at 27 meters (89 ft) from head to tail, was the largest Animatronic figure yet built when the park opened in April 1992. The walkthrough attraction consists of a dimly lit cavern with the large dragon sleeping silently. Occasionally it will 'wake up', puffing smoke and growling. The building also contains La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant, a gallery of displays which illustrate the story of Sleeping Beauty in tapestries, stained glass windows and figures. La Boutique du Château, a shop selling Christmas ornaments year-round, and Merlin l'Enchanteur, a shop specialising in handmade glass figures, are located on ground floor.

Hissing, big and heavy, the smell of burning coal, from time to time the loud whistling of the steam whistles that could be heard far and wide. This steam whistle sound has been the sign that it was Vestingdagen for several editions of this event.
Hellevoetsluis has no direct link in the past with steam engines, at most with the Pomphuis of the Jan Blanken Dry Dock, the Machinistenschool or later a steam train connection with Rotterdam. Nevertheless, these British steam engines were seen and experienced as a top attraction.

Haring (Clupea harengus) - een vette vis rijk aan omega 3-vetzuren, erg gezond en al sinds begin 17e eeuw populair in de visserij. Naast de vele vormen waarin haring verkrijgbaar is begint direct na de vangst bij "Maatjesharing" ofwel "Hollandse Nieuwe" de bereiding, het "Haringkaken". De kieuwen, een deel van de ingewanden en de keel worden verwijderd zodat de vis kan ontbloeden en het vlees blank van kleur blijft. De alvleesklier blijft hierbij zitten en de vrijgekomen enzymen werken in op het vlees waardoor deze de typische haringsmaak, geur en zachte textuur krijgt. Na de vis gekaakt en gezouten is wordt deze ingevroren omdat in een haring soms ook de schadelijke haringworm parasiet voorkomt. Na aankoop worden de haringen uit de hand (het Haringhappen) gegeten. Ongeveer 90% van de gevangen haring wordt overigens in Denemarken en Noorwegen tot vismeel verwerkt.

Vlaggetjesdag - van oorsprong de dag waarop vissersschepen met vlaggetjes versierd in de haven lagen voorafgaand aan Pinksteren om daarna op 15 juni (Buisjesdag) uit te varen. Tegenwoordig is deze dag juist de komst van de "Hollandse Nieuwe", en sinds 2006 op een latere datum omdat de vis minimaal 16% vet moet bevatten. De visveiling van het eerste vaatje "Hollandse Nieuwe" (met ca. 45 haringen) brengt nu bijna € 100 000 op en de opbrengst wordt aan een goed doel geschonken.

The traditional Christmas tree burning in Hellevoetsluis is always a very nice event. It starts with the Christmas tree hunt for the children to earn lottery tickets. The municipality as an organizer collects about 1000 Christmas trees that are burned as a large fire under the supervision of the fire brigade on the Zuidfront or Land van Paling. It attracts more and more visitors over the years, children win some nice prizes with the raffle tickets and the atmosphere is very nice. It is actually also the warm welcome of the year, especially with the glow of the fire of 1300 degrees Celsius.

Historyland, a unique historical theme park and museum in Hellevoetsluis. One with a high educational value. Many themes, from prehistory to the recent past that belong to history, are exhibited here. Mostly life-sized models or even real objects comprise the ever-growing collection. Often with an educational character in which you can even participate actively, such as participating in paleontological excavations or prospecting for gold, make this theme park particularly suitable as a learning environment.
