What have been some of your children's favorite attractions? One of Eleanor's favorites was definitely the Kinderkook Kafe in Amsterdam.
The is a cool little place where the kids do all the cooking (well almost). Eleanor made a pizza with a smily face (the cafe bakes it) and a cupcake (she decorated it). The adults had sandwiches made by the cafe and a cappuccino (which we had to make ourselves with a Nespresso Machine). I might have almost broke that machine, but I will never tell. 😜 She has asked to go back to the cafe so that's a ringing endorsement! This would be a lovely place to spend a few hours as they have a huge play area in back garden and lots of little toys.
