The Netherlands' Tweede Kamer elections offer a unique twist this year, with voting venues expanding beyond traditional spots like schools and train stations to some exceptional locations.

In Amsterdam, the Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, and Museum Het Schip serve as polling stations. Also available are De Duif, a historic church dating back to 1857, and De Werf Zoo in Amsterdam Oost, where voters can mingle with goats, ponies, or mini pigs while casting their ballots.

The Hague presents voters with options such as the renowned Madurodam miniature park in Scheveningen, a scaled-down version of the country, and a temporary Tweede Kamer location.

In Rotterdam, supporters of Excelsior and Sparta football clubs can vote at their team stadiums. Culture enthusiasts have the chance to visit the Mariniersmuseum, offering free admission upon voting.

Utrecht offers a unique experience at Stadsboerderij, where voters can cuddle a goat after casting their ballots. Another option is the thrift shop de Arm in Hoograven.

In Groningen, the Oosterkade's laser tag hall serves as a voting station for the third time, although voting with infrared beams is off-limits, as the owner humorously cautioned.

Lelystad voters can simulate being pilots in flight simulators at the Luchtvaartmuseum Aviodrome, with complimentary museum access post-voting.

Additionally, voters can visit eight Pathé cinemas in Amsterdam, Ede, Tilburg, Utrecht, Zaandam, and Zwolle, with the theaters remaining open for screenings. This marks the fourth consecutive year that Pathé cinemas are doubling as voting spots.

For the coziest spot, head to Marle, Overijssel, where Wim and Elly Westhoff are hosting the smallest polling station in the Netherlands, offering coffee and refreshments from 5 p.m. in their living room.
