About Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a small city to be a child in, which is its great advantage: almost nothing is more than twenty minutes away by bike or tram, and the GVB carries under-fours free. The centre is where the big museums and the canal boats are, and it is also where the crowds and the cobbles are, so a buggy does better in the ring of parks around it — the Vondelpark, the Westerpark, the Oosterpark, the Amstelpark. Every neighbourhood has a free kinderboerderij and a playground within walking distance, and most cafés will find you a high chair without being asked.

Good to know

Are there free arts & crafts events in Amsterdam?

None of the ten arts & crafts events listed in Amsterdam is free at the moment — they all charge something. Free entry is tagged on a card the moment a venue offers it, so this answer changes with the data rather than with an edit. Each listing links through to the venue's own prices.

Where in Amsterdam do these arts & crafts events happen?

Across six venues at the moment, including WOW Family Center, Kids Art Club Amsterdam and Plein Theater. Each listing carries the venue, the address and a pin on the map above, and the map is the fastest way to find the one you can actually reach on a Saturday morning.

Where else near Amsterdam can we go?

Distances are measured between centres, so add the traffic. Every one has its own page here with the same detail, and they are linked at the foot of this one.
