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.

Questions parents ask

Are there free kids shopping spots in Amsterdam?

One of the two kids shopping spots listed here is 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and every listing links through to the venue's own prices rather than repeating a figure here that might be a season out of date.

Which kids shopping spots in Amsterdam work with a buggy and a toddler?

None of the two kids shopping spots here has published its facilities yet, so we cannot say. Every listing links straight through to the venue's own page and phone number, which is the reliable answer for a question this specific — and we add the facilities to a card as soon as a venue tells us.
