Kids activities in Zaanstad: the Zaanse Schans, the Molenmuseum and the Zaans Museum sit close together along the Zaan, so windmill-watching and a museum visit fit into a single walk. These family activities also make a nice choice for visiting relatives. What to do with kids in Zaanstad? A visit to the Zaanse Schans, ice cream near Albert Heijn's birthplace and a boat trip on the Zaan fit into one day out with kids. Whether you're planning for today or the weekend, Zaanstad usually has something close by. Activities for kids and other kids events run throughout the year, from windmill festivals at the Zaanse Schans to museum workshops. With its car-free city centre, Zaanstad works 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 the Zaans Museum and the Molenmuseum.
