Kids activities in Amsterdam: NEMO Science Museum, Artis Zoo, Tropenmuseum Junior and a canal boat tour sit close enough together to fill a full day without a rushed schedule. These family activities also make a solid backup plan for a rainy afternoon. What to do with kids in Amsterdam? A morning in Vondelpark, the petting zoo at Amstelpark and a pancake boat add up to an easy day out with kids that goes well beyond museums. Whether you're after activities for kids near me today, an idea for tomorrow, or something for the weekend, Amsterdam's compact centre means there is always something close by, whatever day you check. Local kids events and other events for kids run throughout the year, from museum workshops near Vondelpark to canal-side festivals. The car-free centre also makes the city practical for a school trip: most venues are an easy tram ride or walk apart, so a group never loses half the day travelling. Babies are well served by quiet corners and baby concerts, toddlers enjoy the petting zoo and plenty of sensory play, preschoolers love the playgrounds and storytime, and school-age children head straight for NEMO and the interactive galleries at Tropenmuseum Junior.

In the upcoming months, there are plenty of activities for families with children in Amsterdam. For the littlest ones (0-1 years), there's the Baby Concert at the Concertgebouw on October 15, where they can enjoy music in a playful way. Toddlers (2-3 years) can look forward to the interactive dance and music experience UMI at the Bijlmer Parktheater on October 22, perfect for the youngest visitors. For preschoolers (4-5 years), there are various performances like Dag Poes at the Bijlmer Parktheater, a musical journey about loss and friendship, showing on November 5. Children aged 6-12 can join the painting workshop at the Van Gogh Museum, where they will create their own artwork on November 12, or the creative workshop 'Make your own 'Judy' plate' at the Jewish Museum on November 19. Additionally, the Mega Kids Disco on September 27 at AFAS Live promises a big party full of music and dance for kids aged 4 to 12. Amsterdam offers a range of unique and educational experiences for the whole family, so don't miss out!
