Day by day
Day 1: Arrival in Amsterdam. In the Rijksmuseum hang paintings of the Golden Age, including the Night Watch, in front of which children stand marvelling. After arriving, tackle only one or two rooms deliberately, rather than trying to see everything. A walk in the museum garden and the proximity of the Vondelpark keep the first day calm.
Day 2: Van Gogh Museum. The Van Gogh Museum shows sunflowers, self-portraits and letters by the painter, and children may compare colours and brushstrokes. The Anne Frank House is a serious place that suits older children and teenagers better; talk to them about it beforehand. Afterwards plan time to catch your breath by a canal.
Day 3: Vondelpark. In the Vondelpark there are playgrounds, ponds with ducks, meadows and an open-air theatre. Children run, skate and cycle while you sit on a bench. The park is large and flat, ideal as buffer time after a museum day. A picnic with rolls and fruit is enough, so nobody has to search long.
Day 4: NEMO Science Museum. The A'DAM Lookout is on the roof of a tower in Noord. The free ferry behind the Central Station takes you there, and children already enjoy the crossing. Back on the shore NEMO awaits, a science museum shaped like a ship, with hands-on experiments. Children can stay there for hours, even in rain.
Day 5: WONDR Experience. In the WONDR Experience the rooms resemble colourful worlds that children roam together with adults. The visit suits a rainy day well, or when legs are tired. Expect noise and movement and plan a quiet break afterwards, for example with hot chocolate by a canal.
Day 6: Red Light Secrets Museum. The Red Light Secrets Museum deals with a subject for adults and does not suit children or teenagers, so skip it. Take This is Holland instead: a flight simulator with wind and water that takes you over tulip fields and windmills. For older children it is a highlight of the week.
Day 7: Farewell to Amsterdam. Ripley's Believe It or Not! collects curiosities, from skeletons to strange objects, and appeals to children who like a shiver. It is on Dam Square, in the middle of the city, so afterwards you can stroll through shops and on to the station. Plan the journey back to the airport in good time so the farewell goes without stress.
