Visit child-friendly places such as the Vroesenpaviljoen, Juffrouw van Zanten and Parqiet in the Park to relax and pick daisies. Blijdorp Zoo is also fun for an hour. Enter at the entrance on the Oceanium side and walk past the giraffes, elephants and flamingos to the old entrance. For a Zen moment, I drink coffee in the Terrace Room.

My daughter’s two dads regularly rent a cargo bike (baqme.com) and go to the large market on the Binnenrotte on Saturdays. And Speeldernis in the Roel Langerakpark is a nature playground where children can roll and romp in the mud. Nice place.
