Entering the site is free, but for inspection inside the mills have to pay (for adults - 6 children - 4 €). Opening hours: 09:00 to 18:00. On Saturday, with nearly all of the mill, but also a lot more people. More detailed information can be read on the official site of Kinderdijk.

The first windmills appeared in the mid-13th century, not only used for pumping water, but also for grinding grain, sawing wood, pressing oil, tobacco and cocoa processing.
