Best Speeltuin in Haarlem.

What kid can resist a good playground? Luckily, we can find in Haarlem safe and fun Speeltuins to let children play outside and enjoy the sun. After visiting with my son most of the Speeltuin in the city, I thought it could be useful for mums and dads to create a list with my top 6 and pin them on a map.

Swings, playhouses, sand pits, Speeltuin is the perfect place to let your kids explore and make new friends. These playgrounds are especially recommended for toddlers and young kids. Check timetables and prices on their websites to plan your visit and have fun playing with your kids!
