Madurodam (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Madurodam?
What makes it 83% Baby-Friendly: Step-free paths, free entry, stroller rental and changing tables aid parents, though no private nursing room and limited baby-specific play keep the appeal slightly lower than for older kids.
Positives:
- Stroller-friendly paths: All walkways are step-free and gently sloped for easy rolling.
- Free entry for babies: Children under 3 enter at no charge, but reserve a free ticket online.
Challenges:
- Limited stroller rental: Umbrella strollers are first-come; reserve at Guest Services early.
- Age-restricted shows: Indoor shows like New Amsterdam recommend age 6+, so baby may not join every attraction.

Kids will enjoy this place. Excellent miniature park with 7 additional attractions of Holland history. The entrance fee 26 euros is slightly on the higher side which prevents many to have a look at it

My son really enjoyed this place. The models of Holland were detailed, interesting and a lot were interactive. The park areas were also great. Brilliant for children of all ages.

I absolutely loved this place. The simulations were so amazing. I lo ed the historic stories told and the entire set up, is genius. A great place for kids but for adults alike. Its so interesting and there is so much to see, time will pass by and you would have spent almost an entire day. The best time to go is from when they open at 10.
