Spring Break in the City

You definitely won't be bored this spring break—come play, discover animals, stargaze, or go to the theater.

National Education Museum Family Day Children Kids Dordrecht

Come craft, play, and discover animals

At the National Education Museum in Dordrecht, you can experience what your grandparents’ school was like. There are fun word games and a workshop on building a bee hotel. For the littlest ones, there’s duck fishing—will you be the first to fill your card?

Or head out into nature, because the Biesbosch Center Dordrecht organizes lots of fun activities. Come dissect pellets, join the family excursion, and discover birds or animal tracks. You can also go boating; while enjoying a cup of hot chocolate, the skipper will tell you all about the Biesbosch.

Biesbosch Dordrecht Fall Tree-Climbing Adventure

Getting out and about

The Climbing Forest in De Biesbosch National Park is reopening during spring break, so don’t miss your chance. This climbing adventure is for all ages 6 and up. You can choose from 3 junior routes. Give it a try and see for yourself how much fun it is! Or if you’d rather stay active indoors, you can head to Bowlmore Dordrecht for bowling and Glow in the Dark mini-golf. Or stop by their neighbors, Go-Kart-In for a spectacular go-kart track and indoor Segway rides. Join us on an exciting adventure through downtown Dordrecht during the Dordt Safari, a city walk designed especially for young adventurers!

Fun indoor activities

At Mercurius Observatory there are lots of fun things for kids to discover—be sure to check their calendar for special activities. Try the Museum Dice Game during spring break or the "I Spy" Toddler Tour at the Dordrechts Museum.

If the weather isn't cooperating, why not go see a movie or a play? At Kinepolis and Filmtheater De Witt , you’ll have plenty to choose from. Of course, there are also some really great shows at Schouwburg Kunstmin. Check out the musical performance by the Cellobende on February 14, or come enjoy The Crazy Treehouse.
