Budget-Friendly Family Fun in Amsterdam: Enjoy the City Without Breaking the Bank

Exploring Amsterdam with kids doesn’t have to cost a fortune!

There are plenty of free or low-cost activities that the whole family can enjoy. Start with a visit to the Rijksmuseum Garden, which is free to enter and offers beautiful sculptures, fountains, and a play area for kids. For a small fee, you can also climb the museum’s historic Cuypers Library for a unique view of the city. Another great option is a walk through the Jordaan neighbourhood, where you can admire the picturesque canals and historic houses without spending a dime. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore Amsterdam’s markets—Albert Cuyp Market and Noordermarkt are both fun to explore and offer affordable snacks and souvenirs. And if your kids are animal lovers, the Kinderboerderij (children’s farms) around the city offer free entry and the chance to meet some friendly animals.
