Activities for children

International support networks

Children are quick to adapt, but sometimes parents moving abroad find themselves wanting to get together with people in the same situation as them. IWCN Connect provides an opportunity to get together with other expats and allow you to support each other. They have regular parents coffee mornings, baby walks, and information events where internationals in the TopDutch region can get together and chat.

Things to do

Although, in the TopDutch region, your child will never be far away from a local playground, sometimes we seek a break from monkey bars and wood chips. TopDutch kids are very active, and activities such as swimming and ice-skating are popular and easily accessible. For all future vets, we have a zoo and a water zoo in the region, and if instead you have your own little monkey on your hands, maybe wear them out in an amusement park. 

For a large, and localized, list of attractions for youngsters in the TopDutch region, check out the website of the IWCN. The TopDutch region is not just a hub of culture for grown-ups, there’s also loads of events for international children to experience. To keep up-to-date with upcoming kids events, you can use the children’s section of Here and Now, a website which maintains an English language list of events in the TopDutch region.
