In addition to the attractive nature of the Deltapark Neeltje Jans, it also plays an educational role with respect to the Delta Works.

Deltapark Neeltje Jans was created out of a public information center which, at the initiative of Rijkswaterstaat, was set up in 1986 during the construction of the Oosterschelde barrier in 1979 .

Besides the technically interested, the center was increasingly frequented by local residents and day trippers.

This trend also led to the decision to offer a more attractive character in addition to an educational value.

Various attractions on the theme of Delta Works, marine animals and water activities were added to the offerings.
