Visitor Centre

The Nature and Environment Centre is the gateway to nature reserve GrensPark KempenBroek. The centre is undergoing redevelopment, but is open for questions, trails & safaris or a cup of coffee. Entry is free. From 30 June, everyone is welcome to visit the renewed exhibition: "Step inside the world of nature". 

Explore nature

Go out and experience, see, feel, smell, listen and taste. What is more fun than going outside together and discovering nature with a scoop net in your hand or recognizing benthic animals on a search card? Natuur- en Milieucentrum Weert organizes all kinds of activities for young and old about nature, environment and sustainability.

Discover inside

Inside you are challenged to think about nature. On different islands you will discover various natural landscapes found in the surroundings of Weert. Here, too, you have to get to work yourself. There is a brand new Kids Do Square, where you can explore with the microscope, learn how shifting sands work, collect fun facts, and so on.

 

Discover the beautiful garden and surroundings of the Nature and Environment Center Weert

What is shown inside, you can experience for yourself outside in the environment and in our garden. The Nature and Environment Center has a large garden, which changes color every season. There is an insect garden, herb garden, tiny forest, climate garden and a stone garden with large stones from the Ice Age. The paths lead you past benches, picnic tables, bridges, the groundwater meter, the weather hut and a bee hall.

KempenBroek Border Park and tourist information point
