Family outings during spring break in the Netherlands

Spring holidays are once again upon us. That means you can go on another fun outing with the whole family. After all, with a week off, there is plenty of time for that. And let there be plenty of things to do in the Netherlands during this time of year. In this blog, we share our best spring break tips. Will you join us on an adventure?

Outing 1 - A kids' tour on the SS Rotterdam

The SS Rotterdam is a steamship waiting for you and the kids in the city's harbour. Are you ready to go on an adventure on the ship? Then a kids' tour is one of the most fun outings during the spring break. The kids will receive the Little Captain's Passport which is full of fun assignments and exciting questions. Or go on a treasure hunt with Captain Cape. Tip: Would you like to go away for a weekend, midweek or week during the spring break in the Netherlands? TopParken Parc de IJsselhoeve is a stone's throw from Rotterdam.

Outing 2 - On a city trip

A city trip should not be missing from this list of spring break tips. Head out for a day or opt for a longer stay in one of the holiday homes in the Netherlands near a city. This way you can be sure not to miss a single highlight. In our offer you will find no fewer than 12 holiday parks in the Netherlands. Will you choose a park near Den Bosch or go to Maastricht in Limburg? A fun day out during the spring break in Den Bosch is a visit to the Carnival Museum. Here you will discover the most amazing costumes and cheerful music. In Maastricht, board an American school bus for a city tour of all the highlights.

Outing 3 - Escaping from an escaperoom with the whole family

Have you ever visited an escaperoom? This activity has been super popular in the Netherlands in recent years, and we totally understand why. You can find plenty of locations suitable for children. At these locations, the storylines are really aimed at kids. Highly recommended, for example, is De Heks van Zoetermeer, a room suitable for children from 8 years old when accompanied by a parent. This city is located in South Holland close to the coast, so it is extra fun to combine with an overnight stay.

Outing 4 - Still skating

Not able to skate on natural ice again this year? Super pity, because children often love this winter activity. Fortunately, there are plenty of skating rinks in the Netherlands where you can have a sporty time with the whole family. And even though we might think of the first rays of sunshine and spring when we think of going out in the spring holidays, this is exactly the time to tie up your skates. After this holiday, many ice rinks close their doors.

Outing 5 - On a museum tour

Would you like to spend the night in one of our bungalows in the Netherlands? Then you will always have the best outings within reach. You will find many child-friendly facilities at the parks themselves. Think of a playground, sports field and swimming pool. But of course you also want to go out in the area. A museum tour is an absolute must. Children learn a lot and there are many interactive museums at home. That means learning through play. The NEMO in Amsterdam, for example, is such a museum. Here, kids can do experiments and walk in the shoes of a scientist.

Outing 6 - Canal cruise in our capital city

As a resident of the Netherlands, a canal cruise through Amsterdam is something you must have done once in your life. Spring break is the perfect time for that. It is neither too hot nor too cold then, which is perfect for a ride. Through an audio tour, you and the kids will learn all about the history of our own capital city. A special audio tour is often available for children. This way, they get to step into the shoes of a real captain and even get binoculars.

Outing 7 - Poo & ZOO in Dierenpark Amersfoort

Visiting a zoo is a fun kid-friendly outing all year round. But a visit to Dierenpark Amersfoort is certainly a good tip during the spring holidays. That is when you will find Poep & ZOO. During these days, kids can visit the laboratory to learn all about the animals' big message. This way, they discover what function the big message has.
