Come early in the morning and spot dozens of bunnies! So cute.

Vondelpark

This is a great getaway for kids (and secretly also for adults). A forest/park with lots of great amenities. There's a goat farm where you can feed the kid goats, pet them and buy super yummy organic goat cheese. There's also a famous Dutch pancake house, and a "fun forest" - a type of tree climbing playground.
