Het buitenmuseum is in principe toegankelijk voor rolstoelgebruikers. Straatjes, stegen en gebouwen zijn echter op authentieke wijze opgebouwd en ingericht. In sommige gedeeltes is daardoor de ruimte beperkt of loopt een pad steil omhoog. Voor een rolstoel of rollator kan dit een moeilijk te nemen hindernis zijn. Bij de kassa is een plattegrond beschikbaar met een rolstoelvriendelijke route voor in het buitenmuseum.

No, terribly sorry, but dogs are not allowed.

I would say at least 2 hours and a half

Yes, you need a ticket to visit the museum.

Nein, die Mitnahme von Haustieren ins Museum ist nicht gestattet, auch nicht im Buitenmuseum. Blindenhunde bei der Arbeit sowie offiziell trainierte Hilfshunde sind im Zuiderzeemuseum erlaubt.

Since most of the buildings are from early 1900s (narrow hallways), and a number of them have steps up into them, many will not be wheelchair accessible, but they have enough going on outside of the buildings where that may not be an issue. The inside portion has elevators and ramps to assist those with wheelchairs. If my memory serves me right, the paths are smooth for wheelchair though they have a couple of "steepish" inclines for you to push the wheelchair up and down since they are trying to show what the mounds used to look like when they were protecting their homes from the sea and some of the parts of the old towns are on those mounds, which can be a little steep.

As mentioned above, you need to change trains in Amsterdam Sloterdijk. Trains for Sloterdijk leave every 30 minutes, with destination Amersfoort Vathorst. The first one you might catch is at 8.29 am. In Sloterdijk take the train with destination Enkhuizen . Total journey should last 1.09 hours. Enkhuizen itself is a nice town with old buildings. If you have some spare time, the places of Hoorn and Koog aan de Zaan are worth visiting, along the trajectory of the train. Koog aan de Zaan has nice Dutch scenery, with at least 4 green windmills in one view. Looks great with a blue sky, I'm not sure how it looks with a grey sky. Hoorn is a historic place with a fabulous tower at the waterside, and the historic wooden ship De Halve Maen. There's also a great museum about the Dutch East Indies Company - though that may not be suitable for young children.

You need to take the IntercityTrain towards Enkhuizen from Amsterdam Centraal. The train will take you here in less than an hour. Take the museum ferry to the Outdoor Museum (leaves behind the Tourist Information Center. Or follow the signs for ‘Zuiderzeemuseum’ for a 10 minute walk from Enkhuizen Station to the Museum.

This may vary by museum. When Zuiderzeemuseum this is not possible.
