Holiday with your children

The Netherlands is a country that offers many cultural experiences. You couldn't ask for more from a country with over 450 museums. This makes the Netherlands an excellent country for a holiday with children. Besides the many opportunities to visit and learn about all the cultural sides of the arts, the Netherlands is also a country where you can get involved in lots of interactive activities. Children love the Netherlands for its simple diversity and for being unique in its way, but friendly at the same time. 

When is the right time to visit the Netherlands?

The best time to visit the Netherlands is in the warm season. The climate in the Netherlands never gets extremely hot and that's why it will be more than perfect to plan a holiday with your children between March and September. The weather in the Netherlands is quite fickle, and our recommendation would be to be prepared with rainwear, thick clothes, but also thin clothes because the best practice when it comes to children's clothing in the Netherlands is to be prepared for anything. 

The weather tends to be very wet in the Netherlands due to short and frequent rainy sessions, so you can also expect weather that children feel more strongly about. If you have a child who is sensitive to drastic changes in temperature, you should also take this into account. And now that you're ready to enjoy the Dutch weather, here's what you'll be able to visit during your holiday:

Zoos

Kids are simply fascinated by zoos and the level of knowledge and new things that come with visiting a place full of exotic animals. The Netherlands has some very nice zoos that perfectly mimic the environments that animals come from, and your children will be fascinated by what they see and how much fun the animals can be. If you need some recommendations for the most enjoyable zoos in the Netherlands, try visiting at least the ones mentioned below.

Blijdorp Zoo                  

Blijdorp is a zoo with lots of space to visit, with an aquarium, and lots of animals including even gorillas, turtles, elephants, rhinos, and other animals that are currently endangered. It's a great experience for kids, and the prices you'll have to pay for your visit to Blijdorp are as follows:
