Your kids become little scientists at <\/strong>NEMO<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nNEMO? Isn\u2019t that a big science museum in Amsterdam? Yes that\u2019s right! And they have an annexe at Schiphol Airport on the \u201cHolland Boulevard\u201d between lounges 2 and 3. Floris and Lotte can go for a climb or do small \u201clab tests\u201d. We took a seat and just enjoyed the moment of the kids being able to blow off steam. As far as I\u2019m concerned this is a big hit at Schiphol with kids.<\/p>\n

Hugging it out with huge stuffed animals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nYou\u2019ll find huge stuffed animals at the Holland Boulevard too. I don\u2019t know about your kids but Flo and Lotte absolutely adore stuffed animals (we have a lot of them at home, a bit too many perhaps ;). The kids can clamber, horse around and of course hug it out with the absolutely ENORMOUS stuffed animals.<\/p>\n

Fries, burgers or both?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nUhhhm no, this isn\u2019t a very healthy tip, but it is a tasty one :). Our kids aren\u2019t the best eaters but before a long flight I do like to make sure their tummy\u2019s are full so they can have a good sleep on the plane. They enjoy fries of course so we often make a quick stop at McDonalds before we board. If you take a Happy Meal you\u2019re kids will have a fun, small thing to play with on the plane too. You can find the MC on the first floor in the food court of Lounge 2 but there is also one in Lounge 3.<\/p>\n

Climbing and clambering on a real plane<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nAlso in Lounge 2 on the first floor (next to the food court = extra convenient) is a climbing frame in the shape of a real airplane. Here the kids can blow off some steam just before they get cooped up in a narrow steel tube for several hours.<\/p>\n

M&M\u2019s, M&M\u2019s en more M&M\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nIt might not be the best idea to feed your kids loads of sugar before they get on a plane but it doesn\u2019t hurt to take a look does it? And this can be a lot of fun at the M&M Shop. Everywhere you look you can see, you\u2019ve guessed it, M&M\u2019s. It\u2019s a wondrous, colourful experience and something the kids will surely appreciate. If the kids are old enough to eat M&M\u2019s it might be a good idea to buy a little something for when you arrive at your destination.<\/p>\n
So you see there is loads to do at Schiphol with kids. And did you know there is a lot to do for you, the adults, too? What do you think of paying a visit to the very first \u201cStarbuck Evenings\u201d at an airport in Europe? You will find this special Starbucks on the balcony of Lounge 2 and next to ordering a lovely macchiato there you can order a set of small side dishes too. Or do you enjoy \u201crelaxing\u201d before a flight? Why don\u2019t you see if a spot is available in one of the \u201chidden relax areas\u201d: behind the store wall of NL+, House of Tulips, the Amsterdam Bread Company or behind the Starbucks in Lounge 2?<\/p>\n
Of course it\u2019s nice when both you and the kids can enjoy your flight in a relaxed state of mind. Fortunately Schiphol Airport has enough facilities to make sure your holiday starts before you board the plane.<\/p>\n
