Despite its reputation for party goers, Amsterdam has almost as much to offer for those with kids. One great place for youngsters that always raises a smile is Kindercircus Elleboog, with its clowns and circus acts, while Amsterdamse Bos offers a mix fresh air and family fun. And as a last resort, head to the seaside at Bloemendaal aan Zee - that’ll be sure to keep the kids quiet.
