Science

For curious thinkers, young explorers and kids who constantly ask how things work, this is where you find science-based activities across the Netherlands.

From large science centers and interactive exhibitions to workshops and smaller locations where experimenting is part of the experience. These are places where kids are not just looking, but actively testing, building and discovering.

Across the Netherlands, science activities come in different formats. Some are built around themes like space, technology or the human body, with multiple areas to explore. Others are more focused and hands-on, where a single concept becomes the starting point for experimenting and learning.

Kids ask questions, try things out and see immediate results. One moment they are building something with their hands, the next they are testing how something moves, reacts or changes. That constant shift between doing and understanding keeps them engaged and makes it easier to stay focused longer.

The pace is different from other outings. It is less about watching and more about figuring things out step by step. That makes these activities suitable for different ages, from younger kids who explore visually to older children who want to understand how something works.

Some activities are best booked in advance, especially workshops or guided sessions. Others can be visited more spontaneously. You can easily filter by age, location and type of activity, so you quickly find something that matches how your child likes to explore.
