Your Herfstvakantie Guide — with Samira from Amsterdam Kids

It’s Herfstvakantie — the week every Dutch parent remembers that “autumn break” actually means a full week of keeping the kids entertained while it rains horizontally.

This week, Samira from Amsterdam Kids joins us to shine a light (and possibly a flashlight through the storm) on the best things to do with little ones — especially ages 0 to 7 — across Amsterdam and beyond.

From pumpkin patches to play cafés, here’s what made our “yes, that’s actually worth putting on real pants for” list:

Rainy-day heroes:


Nature & Outdoor Escapes:


Easy day trips:


For the crafty stay-at-homers:


Whether you’re chasing puddles, dodging tantrums, or just praying for one peaceful cup of coffee, this episode’s got your Herfstvakantie survival plan sorted — with tips, laughs, and plenty of parent-tested ideas to make the break actually feel like... well, a break.

Listen now, follow the show, and share with a friend who deserves a medal for making it through midterm break.
