A crown on our cheese journey

The Travelers’ Choice Awards are given to attractions, restaurants, and accommodations that consistently receive outstanding reviews from their visitors. The fact that so many people shared their enthusiasm about the Gouda Cheese Experience shows that our unique and interactive approach does not go unnoticed. For our team, this award is confirmation that we are on the right track: creating a place where visitors not only learn about the iconic Gouda cheese but also leave with big smiles and lasting memories.

Moments to savor

This year was filled with memorable moments and growth. We welcomed thousands of visitors from both the Netherlands and abroad. Curious families, cheese lovers, and tourists experiencing Gouda and its rich history for the first time all found their way to us.

One of the highlights this year was welcoming our youngest visitors: children who thoroughly enjoyed the playful challenges and interactive stations. The joy in their eyes continues to inspire us!

Experience it through the eyes of our visitors

An important part of this award is the valuable feedback from our visitors. Here are a few reviews that make us especially proud:

It’s fun and interactive, with fascinating information and a cheese tasting to top it all off! We visited with a mixed group of young and older children and adults, and everyone had a great time. If you’re in Gouda, visit this experience!” — Marc via Tripadvisor
