    This is a family owned and operated business and they make you feel like family when you’re there. We loved watching how clogs are made and the guy who did this was very entertaining! The cheese tour was interesting and ended with a cheese tasting. It’s all free and we were more than happy to buy buy several kinds of cheese (they wrap it up so it can be brought back into the US) and other souvenirs from their shop. Highly recommend!

    A great place for children to enjoy the outdoors anD get close to farm animals (cows, chicken, roosters) but especially goats. You can feed them and enter the stables to play with them, there are both baby goats and bigger ones and they have a machine that dispenses milk to bottle feed the little ones. There's also a big playground and a cafe with plenty of seating which makes it perfect for a day out.

    The shadshart is getting new shops. I have been going here since 1998 and it has its up and downs. Now is an up period. Parking garage is open at the former V & D, the Albert Hein and various spots outside.

    This vineyard is just minutes away from the city. It is small so it makes for a great relaxing early afternoon activity. The owners are very welcoming and take the time to answer questions and are very hospitable to their guests. After a walk around the vineyard you are invited to do some wine tasting. For me the red wine was just to my taste especially since it was chilled- just the way i like it. My husband preferred the white which was light and subtle like a pinot. We were lucky enough to buy a bottle of the homemade limoncello which is amazing.The whole establishment has a very warm and welcoming feel. It is simple but decorated with flair. All in all it was a pleasant escape from city life in just minutes.

    Very picturesque estate, well taken care of. Discovered it while biking to Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and was fascinated by the nature of the garden and its surroundings. Would definitely go back in spring

    What a great treasure of Amstelveen. We visited the Sparnaay exhibition and loved it. The regular collection of glass art is also worthwhile.

    There some periodical expositions there that are really interesting, although the museum is not so big.

    Last month I took my granddaughter and her friends to Elsenhove which is very near to amstelveen. It's a great petting farm where children can see and play with farm animals. They can enter the enclosure of goats and play with them . There is donkey,the cows with calves, they can also see the huge pigs and the piglets . As you walk round the path, you come across the rabits . Children are very happy to see their activities.Chickens are there i n their enclosures . There are varieties of them. Some of them are really beautiful.
    If gou are tired you can take your refreshments in the restaurant inside.
    Children can enjoy snack .
    There are some water bodies along the sides of the farm where plenty of waterbirds are swimming or preying. Just outside saw a grey heron meditating on the waterside.
    2 yrs back when I went there we saw pea cocks. But may be they are hiding somewhere in that big farm . We could not see them . Ducks were honking. On the whole it was a pleasant experience.
    If you can wait children can also feed the animals in the afternoon
    This is educative and pleasant for both children and adult.

    The park is gorgeously laid out and has a substantial number of cherry blossom trees. However make sure to be in time for the height of the blossoming! In 2024 I cam early April and it was already mostly over …

    The Jac P. Thijssenpark is a so-called "heempark", inwhich the local flora is presented in a natural environment. There entrance is free and is interesting to visit in every season. A must do when visiting Amstelveen.

    Start with a cup of coffee or tea in the Bakery Out near the little bridge in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. Did you know that Ouderkerk is the founding place of Amsterdam?
    After the stop go left over the bridge. First part till you pass the highway A9, aprox. 2 km, you enter the world of the oldest Polder in NL.
    Enjoy the ride!

    This is also an excellent book store with an English and children's section. The coffee shop features good coffee and cakes. Parking is once again an issue as this is on the square of the Shadshart and you need to take a parking garage.
