The Netherlands is one of the top countries in the world for childhood well-being. You can’t miss all the bikes zipping around the city with bubbling, happy children seated on the back.

There is plenty of stuff for kids to do in Amsterdam and if you know where you are going, it is easy to steer your young ones away from the seedier parts of the city.  Besides this page, there are a couple of other good resources for kids in Amsterdam, including this page Amsterdam for Kids.

If the weather is nice, you can head to the Plantage neighborhood and visit the Amsterdam Zoo, and not far away is Oosterpark. If it is cold and wet as the Netherlands can be from time to time, check out Chimpie Champ and TunFun indoor play areas for kids. Older kids can easily pass a day at the Nemo science museum.
