11 farms & petting zoos in 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.

Six of the eleven farms & petting zoos 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and every listing links through to the venue's own prices rather than repeating a figure here that might be a season out of date.
Of the eleven farms & petting zoos here: wheelchair access at eleven, accessible bathroom at three and coffee/drinks at two. Those are the facilities the venues publish themselves, shown on every card, so you can filter for the one that decides your morning before you set off. Anything not listed is simply not stated by the venue rather than known to be absent.
The closest towns with farms & petting zoos of their own are Diemen (two, about 5.1 km away), Haarlemmerliede (one, about 15 km away) and Assendelft (one, about 17 km away). 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.
Measured between town centres, closest first.
