20 x the best outdoor playgrounds in the Netherlands

Prepare well for a day on your way with your child. Bring an extra set of clothes for him, some snacks and maybe your child’s backpack. To make it a successful day, here’s a nice checklist with everything you need.

Please note: some locations also have an indoor playground, but it is not yet accessible due to the corona measures.
