what’s on for kids
Six museums & learning events are listed in Amsterdam so far. Two of them cost nothing to attend. One is indoors, which matters between October and April. The venues putting them on include NEMO Science Museum, Allard Pierson and Theater De Krakeling. Dates are checked against the venue's own listing, and anything that has finished drops off this page by itself.

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.

Two of the six museums & learning events listed here are free, and each one is tagged as such on its card so you can see which before you click. The rest charge, and every listing links through to the venue's own prices rather than repeating a figure here that might be a season out of date.
Across five venues at the moment, including NEMO Science Museum, Allard Pierson and Theater De Krakeling. 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.
Amsterdam is the only town nearby with museums & learning events listed so far, but it has plenty else: arts & crafts (nine), theatre & shows (47) and music & dance (twenty). All of them are linked at the foot of this page, and each has the same photos, prices and opening details.
