Things to do in Emmeloord

Originally part of the sea, Emmeloord is located on land that was reclaimed from the IJsselmeer. A 65-meters tall tower was erected in the city center called the Poldertoren, marking the central point of the Noordoostpolder. In its earlier years, the Poldertoren could be seen from almost every location on the polder.Discover Emmeloord's most popular attraction, The Orchideeen Hoeve, featuring an indoor park. Walk along secret jungle paths, snap a picture surrounded by butterflies and admire the ‘Suspended’ Flower Garden. Visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Schokland area and Museum Schokland to learn about the history of this former island in the Zuiderzee. At night enjoy a cultural treat watching a performance at the Theater Voorhuys.Photograph by Michelklooster Klein
