A Day Out with the Kids
-
Morning
You don’t have to take children to enjoy this suggested day out, but it will appeal to them if you do. It’s wise to phone the Ajax Museum in advance, to check on its tour times.
Start by taking tram 9, 10 or 14, or bus 22 to the Tropenmuseum , where you can take a whistlestop tour of the developing world. Afterwards, have an exotic lunch in the museum’s lush café-restaurant, Ekeko, and don’t forget the shop, with its range of ethnic gifts.
Afternoon
Walk along Linnaeusstraat, leaving Oosterpark on your right, and turn left along Domselaerstraat to find Muiderpoort Station. Catch one of the frequent stoptreins in the direction of Utrecht for the 9-minute ride to Bijlmer Station to visit the Amsterdam ArenA. The Ajax Museum and its guided tour of the stadium will fill your afternoon.
If you want to extend your trip into the evening, consider taking a short bus ride (Nos 174 or 175) from Bijlmer station to the picturesque village of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, with its waterside cafés and restaurants.
If it’s a Sunday between April and October, you may prefer to take a day trip to Amsterdamse Bos (and perhaps to the Cobra Museum at Amstelveen), using the Electrische Museumtramlijn to get you there and back.
