days out, tried and tested
Two kids shopping spots are listed in Zaandam so far, which is a short list and we say so rather than padding it. Between them they offer wheelchair access (two). The nearest other towns with kids shopping spots listed are Amsterdam (two) and Haarlem (one).
2 kids shopping in Zaandam
Zaandam is fifteen minutes north of Amsterdam by train and has the Zaanse Schans on its doorstep — working windmills, a clog workshop and a cheese farm, all free to walk around. The town itself is compact and green, with plenty of playgrounds and a good deal less pressure on space than the city. Families who have moved out of Amsterdam for the room tend to end up somewhere along this stretch of the Zaan, which is why a fair number of the services listed here cover it.

None of the two kids shopping spots listed in Zaandam 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.
Of the two kids shopping spots here: wheelchair access at two and free parking at one. 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 kids shopping spots of their own are Amsterdam (two, about 9.5 km away), Haarlem (one, about 14 km away) and Zwaag (one, about 30 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.
