Visit Rotterdam with young kids
‘Ballorig’ is a huge indoor playground (in the North of Rotterdam), that offers many bouncers, slides and games for children between 0 and 13. All kids need a parent to supervise them while they’re playing, so you might want to bring a book with you! Plaswijckpark is an outdoor theme park for kids between 0 and 13. It contains a small zoo and a number of big playgrounds (also indoors), including a traffic and harbour playground. Miniworld Rotterdam is the largest indoor model layout of the Netherlands. You can enjoy model trains, cars, ships, houses and buildings of typical Dutch and well-known landmarks from Rotterdam, also on a rainy day. The Kids Marina attraction is located between all the shops in city center and kids can sail their own boats between the shopping crowd. In 2014 another theme park for kids till 14 will open their doors: Speelstad Rotterdam!
