Kids activities in Rotterdam: Diergaarde Blijdorp, Miniworld Rotterdam, the Euromast and the Maritiem Museum all sit within the compact centre, so you can walk from one to the next without long detours. These family activities also make a reliable plan when the weather turns. What to do with kids in Rotterdam? A walk across the Erasmus Bridge, the climbing tower at Spoorweghaven park and an ice cream on Schouwburgplein stack neatly into one day out with kids, worthwhile well outside the summer holidays too. Families searching for things to do with kids near me, whether today or later in the week, usually find Rotterdam's compact layout has an answer close by. Plenty of activities for kids and other kids events pop up throughout the year, from harbour festivals to museum workshops near the Euromast. The car-free city centre also makes Rotterdam a practical choice for a school trip, with most of the main venues within walking or metro distance of each other. Babies do well with quiet spots and baby concerts, toddlers enjoy the animals and sensory play at Blijdorp, preschoolers love the playgrounds and storytime, and school-age children usually head straight for the Euromast and the Maritiem Museum.
