We are going to the netherlands next week, down from the islands to zeeland. Does anyone have any special tips suitable for little kids? We are well prepared, so the question is really for things you recommended which we might not choose from descriptions in guides.
I was not surprised when My darling refused me going to zottegem for the evening
Thanks!

Am not Dutch but having taken my kids there frequently I would say that their highlights would be :
Duinrell theme/ water park at Wassenaar near Den Haag.
When they were little, Madurodam miniature village in Den Haag
The vast sandy beaches (or a hot chocolate in a beach cafe during those wet, blustery days) at Katwijk and Noordwijk
Amsterdam Arena tour if they are interested in football
They also enjoyed the traditional guide book stuff (Amsterdam canal tour, Anne Frank's House, eating deep fried kibbleling from a Volendam street vendor etc) too. All depends on your kids' ages/interests really.

Zeeland isn't Amsterdam, dude! 99% religious people living there!
Nice for kids:

Many thanks for your suggestions! Really looking forward to going there. It is my holiday also, so there will be two lists of suggestions.

My 7 year old keeps asking if we can go to Hamsterdam, he thinks it must be good as Daddy has been so many times.
I imagine it's actually a pretty child friendly city. I guess there is plenty to do.
Anyway, sorry I'll stop hijacking your thread now.

Like an hour or so? That's not that bad, is it?

Not too bad at all as long as the kid-customers post a nice feedback ( in a few years). We will do efteling which is around the corner as i have seen.
Texel wheater not too god so far, but nice to watch the game last night with lots of people. Hope for a final with your team included of course.
