Kids activities in Haarlem: Teylers Museum, the Frans Hals Museum with its family programming and the Dolhuys all sit close together in the compact centre, with Zandvoort beach a short cycle away. These family activities also make a good choice on a rainy day. What to do with kids in Haarlem? A beach day in Zandvoort, a walk in the Zuid-Kennemerland dunes and a visit to the Frederikspark playground combine into one day out with kids, worthwhile even outside the beach season. Whether the plan is for today, tomorrow, or the weekend, Haarlem usually has something close by. Activities for kids and other kids events run throughout the year, from beach festivals in Zandvoort to museum workshops. The city and its coastal surroundings are easy to reach from the Randstad and work well for a school trip with a group of children. Babies do well with quiet spots and baby concerts, toddlers enjoy sensory activities and petting zoos, preschoolers love storytime and the playgrounds, and school-age children usually pick Teylers Museum and the Frans Hals Museum.
In the upcoming months, there are plenty of activities for families with children in Haarlem. For the youngest ones, Cpunt hosts Babybieb gatherings where parents can read together with their babies and exchange tips about books and reading. For toddlers, there are delightful shows like 'On an Adventure with Dikkie Dik' at PHIL, where children embark on a musical journey with Dikkie Dik. They can also enjoy 'Taartrovers Cinemini', a cinema experience designed for toddlers and preschoolers, featuring exciting short films and a play landscape. For preschoolers, De Schuur offers 'Houtje 3+' workshops, where they can get creative with music and crafts. Children aged 6 to 12 can participate in the Kinderkunstlijn on November 7 and 8 at the ABC Architecture Center, where they can make masks and search for hidden birds in artworks. Additionally, the exciting musical 'Oliver and the Adventure of the Street Children' will enchant them. Haarlem truly offers a wealth of opportunities for a fun and educational family outing!
