In English, its name translates to Amsterdam Forest, which is fitting for this naturally diverse park. Not only are there several recreational areas, but there are also lakes, petting zoos, a tree-top adventure course, and boat rentals! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re traveling to Amsterdam in the summer, there\u2019s also splash pools for the little ones to enjoy. If you\u2019re tired of the city and the crowds, spend a pleasant afternoon in Amsterdamse Bos with the family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"vondelparknbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vondelpark<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/things-to-do-with-kids-in-amsterdam-12.jpeg\" alt=\"Vondelpark is the best area for either a biking ride or stroll, sometimes there are open events too. \" class=\"wp-image-228263\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Statue of Joost van den Vondel in the Vondelpark in Amsterdam.

You may even catch a free concert at the large open-air theatre. If you\u2019re planning a family vacation in Amsterdam, then be sure to visit Vondelpark.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"best-places-to-stay-in-amsterdam-with-kidsnbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Best places to stay in Amsterdam with kids <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/things-to-do-with-kids-in-amsterdam-13.jpg\" alt=\"Grachtengordel is one of the best areas to stay as a family to explore the city. \" class=\"wp-image-228267\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Traditional canal houses in the Grachtengordel of Amsterdam.

Grachtengordel is Amsterdam\u2019s canal ring and is near many of Amsterdam\u2019s top landmarks but with more peace and quiet. You\u2019ll be able to see the best of Amsterdam\u2019s charming beauty and wander the picturesque canals without the late-night noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you prefer to be a little bit more out of the city\u2019s center while remaining near one of the best parks in Amsterdam, consider staying in <strong>Plantage<\/strong>. This beautiful residential area of Amsterdam is home to the ARTIS Royal Zoo. There are also plenty of delicious local cafes and restaurants in the area while still being only a short tram ride from the center. Plus, the NEMO Science Museum is within a ten-minute walk of the neighborhood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, <strong>Museumplein<\/strong> is one of the other best areas to stay in Amsterdam with kids. It\u2019s home to the city\u2019s most famous museums, like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. Museumplein is a lovely area south of the canal ring with upscale shopping and dining options. The neighborhood is also close to Vondelpark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"looking-to-add-more-activities-to-your-amsterdam-itinerary-here-are-10-landmarks-in-amsterdam-you-shouldnt-miss\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking to add more activities to your Amsterdam itinerary?
