The Vierkant Eiland in de Plas (Square Island in the Puddle) is a 1996 artwork by Frans de Wit. It symbolises the lowest point of the Netherlands (which is actually in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel), some 700 cm below mean sea level. The island, measuring 52 m in both directions, has a deep concrete bowl in the middle of it and is connected to the mainland through two long bridges.

Housed in the former pumping house that was used to drain, and then protect the Prins Alexanderpolder, the Historisch Museum is a small museum of Capelle's local history.
Tucked onto the south side of the Schollevaar suburb, the Schollebos is one of the larger parks in this area, which has a very active community. Hot air balloon flights can be booked to depart from here, and the community of the park tries to organise a day-of-the-park every summer, which among others has a small renaissance fair as part of it.
Thief- and Pigeon House
A small house from 1612 that used to accompany the Capelle castle. The house has a quirky combination of functions, being used to house up to two prisoners on its ground floor, and housing carrier pigeons in its attic. It was used in this capacity until the sometime in the 19th century, and is nowadays considered the smallest museum of the Netherlands.
Mostly hosting Dutch acts, the Isala Theater is Capelle's performance venue, which does from time to time house smaller international acts.
Found at the line of the metro's B-line, the Zevenhuizerplas is a large recreational lake with facilities for water sports and recreation. It also allows for boating on the lake, though the lake isn't connected to any waterway in a manner usable by boats.
