Rainy days on Borkum
Island history at Dykhus
A rainy day is a chance to get to know Borkum better. Dykhus museum near the old lighthouse explores island and maritime history; its whale hall displays a sperm-whale skeleton. Make the visit an outing in its own right, then take a short town walk. Check opening times, tours and tickets with the heritage association first.

The North Sea Aquarium focuses on the sea’s wildlife and habitats. For a swim yourself, check Gezeitenland’s indoor pool and sauna options. Either visit pairs well with a town-centre break. Consult each operator for opening times, admission and access rules; availability and individual activities can change.

Our family page has more ideas for children. The official island calendar lists concerts and guided visits. When the sky clears, a short walk to the promenade may be all you need for a fresh view of the sea.
