Things to do with kids in Amsterdam and across the Netherlands
this weekend, next week, and the categories in betweenEvery family event on AmsterdamKids, sorted by when it happens rather than by what it is called. 140 events are live right now.
This is the editorial front door to the events directory. The filterable list lives at /events/, where you can narrow by date, category, town, price and indoor or outdoor; this page is the shorter question — what is on soon, and what kinds of thing are there. 140 events are published today.
Dates are computed from each event's own schedule, including repeating series, so a weekly class shows its next session rather than the date it was first added. Anything with no future date left drops off this page by itself.
On this weekend
Saturday and Sunday, counted from whichever weekend we are in or heading towards. 23 events fall inside it.
The next seven days
60 events start, run or repeat within the week ahead — including the weekend above.
By category
Each category has its own page with its own filters. Only categories with at least one live event are shown, so nothing here leads to an empty grid.
Further ahead
The next dates beyond the week — school-holiday programmes, seasonal runs and series that only meet monthly.
How to read the dates
A card shows the next occurrence that has not finished. For a weekly class that is the next session; for a run of several days it is the day the run reaches, which is why a card can say "Happening now".
All-day entries say "All day" rather than a clock time. An event with no published end time is not given an invented one — the site used to synthesise 23:59 ends and no longer does.
Where the events come from
Some are submitted by the venue or organiser; the rest are gathered from venues' own listings and checked before they are published. Every card links to the event page, which carries the venue, the address and the organiser's own link.
If a date has moved or the event is off, the organiser's own page is the authority — tell us and we will change it.
