Enjoy an afternoon learning about the inner workings of windmills in the village of Zaanse Schans. This ticket gives you entrance to a mill of choice of the mills that are open on the day of your visit.

Find out how a mill saws a tree into planks and then learn more about the history of the famous Dutch windmills at an exhibition in the basement of the mill. Or come inside the world's last-remaining, still-working paint windmill, which is dated back to 1782.

If there is enough wind, you can even experience the grinding process and watch how the mill grinds chalk under the large grind stones. In the back of the mill is where the loggers stands, and it is where tropical wood is chopped. Be sure to check out the impressive working wooden interior of this “old” industrial factory.
