With its historic centre, friendly atmosphere, and numerous children's activities, Breda is a real adventure for kids. We have selected the best family-friendly activities in Breda for the whole family, on sunny as well as rainy days.

50 nature experiences you should have!

Farm Wolfslaar has compiled the 50 things a child must do in nature before they turn 12 years old. With this booklet, children can enjoy going outside, being active, exploring, and getting dirty. Being in nature is good for children's health and creativity. Safety is, of course, always important. So keep an eye on them while swimming in natural waters, jumping over ditches, skating on natural ice, or making a fire. Make it a fun activity!

Stedelijk Museum Breda

Familiesporen is the way to explore the history of Breda with children. This interactive tour through Stedelijk Museum Breda is a fun and educational outing with kids.

The Invention Factory

In the old candy factory 'De Faam', children learn about inventions in a creative way. In addition to various films, children can also get hands-on with creative workshops. They can make an African musical instrument from waste materials or create a tiger for the circus. Do your children prefer to engage in technical activities? Then they can, among other things, film in the 'Green Screen studio' or experiment with a 3D pen.

Did you know that de Grote Kerk also hosts a fun activity for children? While parents enjoy visiting the church, children can have fun with one of three scavenger hunts. For the youngest children from about 4 to 8 years old, there is a scavenger hunt where they look for knights and animals in the church. Children ages 8 and up can have fun looking for birds and plants. And for older adventurers ages 10 and up, there is a challenging puzzle tour.

Let the ants come to life

You have probably seen them before, the ants on Willemstraat. Artist Florentijn Hofman made eight hundred tiles with ants that seem to swarm from the station towards Park Valkenberg. He named the artwork BredAnts. Beautiful Breda added something new that will surely appeal to children as well.
At the beginning and end of the street, there is a sign with a QR code. When you scan it and point it at the ants, they appear to grow and come to life. It’s fun to try when you're in the area!

Kabonk

Kabonk is a fantastic, colourful, grand place of 3,300 m2 where experiencing, playing, discovering, trying, enjoying, relaxing and good food & drink connect on seven amazing levels!
