Amsterdam is a city which is very suitable to travel to with kids. In Amsterdam parents ride their bikes
with the kids, the parks are the backyard for many children and taking your kids with you to a restaurant
or a food market is the most common thing to do. This makes Amsterdam a super kid friendly
destination for a city trip!
Tuschinski
Whimsical and extravagant, this circa-1921 theater is a mad foray into creativity, an Art Deco study of
color and shape. Named for the Jewish tailor who envisioned and financed the structure, the movie
theater is a spectacle of stained glass, exotic woods, handmade carpets, and painted murals. Completely
restored in April 2002, the theater is not only a bit of history reclaimed but a tribute to Abraham
Tuschinski, who created the building and was put to death in a concentration camp. Movies are still
shown today, but even if you don't experience one, make sure to step into the Tuschinski for the pure
visual appeal. Check the agenda for English movies.
Madame Tussauds Amsterdam
Madame Tussauds is located in the heart of Amsterdam on the dam square. Thousands of folks marvel
annually at this well-known attraction's realistic creations, modelled after modern-day celebrities and
historical figures. The wax semblances are grouped across three floors in such vignettes as Holland's
Golden Age, the Music Zone, TV Studio Backstage, and Sport Gallery. Videos and appropriate settings
also place the figures in context and provide an additional measure of entertainment. Among the
personalities you'll encounter are Rembrandt, David Bowie, Albert Einstein, Anne Frank and Barack
Obama. Kids can take their pictures with the celebrities and learn something abut Dutch history too.
Canal Boat Tours
Experience picturesque Amsterdam from the waterways. Especially when the sun is shining, there is no
better way to see the sights than by boat. Wind your way through Amsterdam's canals and appreciate
the attractions from the water. With a multitude of options, you can pick the one that suits you best.
Purchase a hop-on, hop-off ticket, so you can visit some of the museums or attractions along the way.
Combine the tour with food and drinks.
