Fantastic Park for little kids! This park is great! We visited Amsterdam with our 7 year old son, and we saw a lot of history and culture. It was good to go to Amstelpark on a warm day and do all the little kid things. We biked to and through the park. We splashed in the big wadding pool, rode the small train through the park, tried to go to the petting zoo but it closes at 3pm (but we still saw some animals), my son played in the playgrounds, and rode on the little rides. He was so happy. (I would say 7 or 8 years old would be the oldest ages that would really enjoy this. Ideal for 3-6 year olds). read more

Absolutely beautiful park in the south corner of Amsterdam. Plenty of things to do for the kids as well as the adults. The zoo section is super fun alpacas, ponies, wombats and more. The year round jungle gym is great for the active ones too In the summer the kids park opens up where they have bumper cars, remote control boats, and lots of other fun things to play with. read more

Half-zoo half public park this is a wonderful space to go picnicking or nature walk amongst the various species of trees and plants that bloom. Take a stroll or just take your shoes off and walk on the grass barefoot as you explore the rare albino Walaby, the stork, cows, jack rabbits. There is even a piano under a gazebo where those who know how to play can practice or play. This park is situated right next the Amstel River and is easily accessible by foot or bike or boat if you park it near by. If you simply like clearing your head and need a place take your mind off of whatever is ailing you or want to fly your kite. This is the place to do it! read more

Looking for a park in Amsterdam? A place to run? Play minigolf? Have a bite? See some art? This place has it all. Come and ride a train, check out the flowers and see a Japanese Garden (as if The Netherlands did not have enough gardens of their own). You will see other people there, and if you are lucky you may see a bride and groom having their wedding pictures taken here. read more

Concur with others that the solid four-star rating is well deserved. Part park, a little bit of zoo, lots and lots of soft and hard trails, miniature golf they call non politically correct "midgetgolf..." ouch, places to dine, and a downright cut mini-train even an older guy couldn't resist enjoying. Easy access from public transport, no admission fee, lots and lots of green space to enjoy make this a good get away from the congestion and crowds in the city. read more

This is one of my favorite parks to stroll through with my Dutchman in the summer when there is plenty of sunshine. What makes AmstelPark a great place? Amstel is a great way to enjoy nature at its best! AmstelPark is located South of Amsterdam near the Amstel River, Riekermolen windmill and Rembrant Van Rijn.

This place is reallly cool. I was very suprised that it was so empty. It's a huge park with various different sections with all sorts of artistic and botanical displays. The park also includes a mini golf course, a train, lakes, restuaurant and all sorts of other things that would be great for a family to spend the day enjoying. Also a great place to go if you like to run... which is what I was doing there. read more

I have been to Amstelpark several times. When I go I am usually running or eating. Plenty of beauty and open space to make for a relaxing day at the park or if you need somewhere to run a few kilometers. Other adventures include "midget golf", a train, gardens, art and a place to grab a bite to eat! Taste of Amsterdam was here the last two years that I have been in Amsterdam and it is the perfect place to have this event. If you need to get away from the center for a bit, this is a great place to escape! read more
