Discover Amsterdam
with kids
It can be tricky to keep everyone entertained on a city break, can’t it? The kids often end up getting dragged around “boring” museums that the adults are interested in. If you want to mix things up a bit to keep the kids on board, here’s a handy list of child-approved options for you. Here’s to family fun and happy faces all round!
Zoo Amsterdam
More greenery as far as the eye can see! But with added animals… Elephants, gorillas, camels and birds, birds and more birds are just waiting for you to visit them.
And the aquarium and planetarium are extra little bonuses. The ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo is always a firm favourite with the youngest members of the family.
