Kids activities in Leiden: Naturalis Biodiversity Center, the CORPUS walk-through human body experience and the National Museum of Antiquities sit within walking distance of each other, with Molenmuseum De Valk and the Hortus Botanicus as a quieter follow-up. These family activities also work well when the weather can't decide. What to do with kids in Leiden? A canal boat tour, a pancake restaurant and a walk along the Rhine combine into one relaxed day out with kids. For families after an idea for today, tomorrow, or the weekend, Leiden usually has something close by. Activities for kids and other kids events run throughout the year, from canal festivals to workshops at Naturalis. With its car-free city centre, Leiden works well for a school trip with a group of children, and both Naturalis and CORPUS regularly welcome school groups. 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 Naturalis and CORPUS.

In the upcoming months, there are plenty of activities for families with children in Leiden. For the youngest ones, there are fun events like the 'Kleuterdans' at the Hortus Botanicus on October 15, where toddlers can dance and play. They can also enjoy the 'Small Photo Exhibition: Bulbs from the Hortus', which showcases the beauty of seasonal flowers until March. For children aged 6 to 12, the 'Green Children's Book Day' on October 10 offers storytelling and reading opportunities in the Hortus. At the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave, kids can participate in 'Autumn Holiday' activities from October 21 to 29, featuring various workshops. Older children can attend the 'Youth Lectures' at the museum, where they can explore the fascinating world of science with real scientists. Overall, Leiden offers a wide range of exciting and educational activities for the whole family!
