Parent Review: Vondelpark – Groot Melkhuis Playground
Amsterdam’s most popular park has a massive free playground near the Groot Melkhuis café with sandpits, water pumps, swings, and a giant climbing frame.
We visited on a weekday morning and found it perfectly manageable with a double stroller. Here’s what stood out and what to watch for.
