Verdict by age
Not a general rating. How each age band actually experiences it.
Babies, toddlers and primary-age children all do well here, and it costs nothing. Over 11s need a ball, skates or a bike to stay interested.
Several cafes sit inside the park, so adults can have coffee within sight of the climbing frame. There is also an open-air theatre and a rose garden. The one thing to watch is the main path, which doubles as a fast cycle route. Keep toddlers on the grass side and teach older children to look both ways before crossing it.
Tips for the visit
- Pair it with the Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh Museum on the same day.
- Aim for Groot Melkhuis or the Vondeltuin, where the play areas are.
- Pack swimwear or a change of clothes in summer for the paddling pool.
- Cross the cycle path at a walk, holding hands.
