Parent-friendly spots in the Netherlands

Some places are aimed at children and some are simply civilised about having them there — a bench in the shade, a toilet you can reach with a pram, coffee that is not an afterthought. Four are listed here so far: three in Amsterdam, including a riding school and a private canal-tour company, and the Oostvaardersplassen visitor centre in Lelystad. Three have an accessible bathroom and food on site, two have comfortable seating and stroller access, and one has an indoor play area. It is a young category, and it grows as venues across the Netherlands tell us what they actually offer.
