1. Visit the Van Gogh Museum<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kids will love the endless activities created just for them. The museum provides a special kids-centric guide so little ones can enjoy a tour of the museum. Kids can also take part in a treasure hunt<\/a>, an interactive assignment that will have them searching high and low for answers in Van Gogh\u2019s art. Ask for Vincent\u2019s Travelling Case<\/a> at the information desk and you\u2019ll be given a free hands-on case packed with fun assignments to explore the museum\u2019s paintings.<\/p>\n

2. Take a canal cruise<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the best ways to see Amsterdam \u2013 besides from perched atop a bicycle, of course \u2013 is from the city\u2019s famous canals. Hop on, hop off<\/a> options allow you to reach the day\u2019s destinations via boat. Blue Boat<\/a> offers kids\u2019 cruises<\/a>, where kids go on a pirate adventure while parents get the adult version of the tour.<\/p>\n
