Adventure for little explorers
The Amsterdamse Bos is one big natural playground where children are in charge. Leave the tablets in the lodge and put on your hiking boots for the Beleefpad, where children playfully learn all about nature. For the real water rats, there are several children's pools and play islands to romp around for hours, while the animal pastures and farms are the perfect place to cuddle with animals.
For the whole family:
- Playgrounds & Islands
- Children's pools & swimming areas
- The Experience Path
- Farms & animal pastures
