I’m glad you had a wonderful visit with the kids the second time around. I love kid-friendly art museums like this who really engage kids. The map route for kids is a great idea. It’s always a challenge to take kids to an art museum no matter what age they are. Great tips here. We went to Amsterdam without the kids so it’s nice to know the Rijksmuseum is worth a stop with kids.

Looks like a fabulous trip- and what a great experience for everyone. We are actually heading on a museum trip to New York City this weekend with my daughter, so I love to hear about other family experiences in museums as they can be a fabulous adventure for children and adults.

How good is it that <18's are free. That's a great way to encourage more families to get out and about without having to stress about the cost.

Great post, Ann. And so true, Dutch painting is so accessible to children. Everyone can relate to the scenes of everyday life, skating, etc. Not so easy to relate to–or enjoy–hall after hall of crucifixions or allegories lost in the mists of time and history. From the food to all the open-air exercise, Holland is a great family-friendly destination on so many counts!

Thanks for these great tips! It makes such a difference when a museum pays attention to the littlest visitors (and their parents). And it’s a great gift you’ve given your children.

One thing I didn’t stress was that they were really helpful. It wasn’t just a random, here let me help you. They completely engaged our kids in the museum. It was really an unexpected relief.

Yes, it does count if the child is asleep in the museum… After all, you never know when they might wake up!

LOVE this! Oh yes, our daughter would be in there in a heartbeat. I love that the museum staff are so helpful – that makes a huge difference!
