Explore: Leiden

Kids activities in Leiden: Naturalis Biodiversity Center, the CORPUS walk-through human body experience, the National Museum of Antiquities, Molenmuseum De Valk, and the Hortus Botanicus are the main attractions for children. What to do with kids in Leiden? A day out with kids in Leiden can be perfectly combined with a canal boat tour, a visit to a pancake restaurant, or a walk along the Rhine. The car-free city center is particularly suitable for a school holiday trip or a school outing with a group of children, and both Naturalis and CORPUS regularly welcome school groups. There is something for every age: baby concerts and quiet open spaces are great for babies, toddlers benefit from sensory activities and petting zoos, preschoolers enjoy storytime and playgrounds, and primary school children love museums and interactive attractions.

In the upcoming months, there are plenty of activities for families with children in Leiden. For the youngest ones, there are fun workshops at the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, such as 'Create and Draw Your Own Sea Monster' on October 15, where children from 4 years old can unleash their creativity. There's also the workshop 'The Twisted Truth - Do the Tests', which stimulates curiosity and critical thinking. For children aged 6 to 12, the workshop 'Incredible Math; Craft a Kaleido-fidget' on November 22 allows them to explore mathematical concepts in a playful way. Additionally, families can explore the 'Family Trail through the Collection' at Museum De Lakenhal, where they search for symbols in paintings and play games, specially designed for families with children from 6 years old. Don't miss the Lakenfeesten from June 25 to 28, a vibrant city festival filled with music and activities, perfect for a family day out.
