Organizing a memorable outdoor event for children can be both exciting and challenging. At UP Events Kids in Amsterdam, we specialize in creating unforgettable experiences for kids of all ages, whether it’s a birthday party, holiday camp, or group activity. Drawing on the latest trends and expert advice, we’ve put together 10 original outdoor activity ideas that combine fun, adventure, and safety — perfect for families in Amsterdam and Weesp.

1. Lasergame in de buitenlucht

Laser tag is a perennial favorite, but taking it outdoors adds a whole new dimension of excitement. Kids can strategize, hide behind natural obstacles, and work together as a team. At UP Events Kids, our outdoor lasergame is supervised by trained staff and uses safe, child-friendly equipment. This high-energy activity is ideal for children aged 8 and up, ensuring both fun and safety.

2. Bubbleball: Botsen en lachen

Bubbleball is one of the most unique outdoor activiteiten kinderen can experience. Imagine kids climbing into giant inflatable bubbles and bouncing, rolling, and bumping into each other — all in a safe, controlled environment. It’s a hilarious way to burn off energy and is suitable for most children over 7 years old. We provide all necessary safety gear and supervision.

3. Archery Tag: Avontuur en precisie

Archery Tag combines the thrill of archery with the excitement of dodgeball. Using soft-tipped arrows and protective masks, kids can safely compete in teams, developing coordination and teamwork. This activity is perfect for adventurous children and is always a hit at our birthday parties.

4. Arcade Games in de open lucht

Who says arcade games are just for indoors? At UP Events Kids, we bring the arcade experience outside with air hockey, pinball, basketball machines, and more. This is a great way to mix physical activity with classic gaming fun, and it’s accessible for a wide range of ages.

5. Natuur speurtocht: Ontdekken en leren

A nature scavenger hunt is a fantastic way to encourage exploration and problem-solving. Kids can search for hidden treasures, solve clues, and learn about local plants and animals. This activity can be tailored for different age groups and is a wonderful way to combine play with education.

6. Survivor Games: Samenwerken en grenzen verleggen

Inspired by popular TV shows, our Survivor-style games challenge children to work together, solve puzzles, and complete physical challenges. These games are designed to push boundaries in a safe environment, helping kids build confidence and make new friends.

7. Creatieve workshops in de buitenlucht

Outdoor creative workshops, such as painting, building, or music-making (like the innovative SoundLAB workshops), foster imagination and teamwork. These activities are especially suitable for younger children or those who prefer a calmer pace.

8. VR Games en Experiences

Virtual reality isn’t just for indoors! With our portable VR setups, kids can experience immersive adventures in the fresh air. From virtual rollercoasters to interactive games, VR adds a futuristic twist to any outdoor event.

9. Seizoensgebonden activiteiten: Schaatsen en waterpret

Depending on the season, we offer activities like outdoor ice skating in winter (with all safety gear provided) and water games in summer. These seasonal options keep things fresh and exciting year-round.

10. Risky Play Playgrounds: Avontuurlijke speeltuinen

Recent trends in the Netherlands emphasize the importance of “risky play” — letting children climb, build, and explore in natural playgrounds. These environments help develop resilience, creativity, and physical skills. Our venues feature TÜV-certified playgrounds designed to challenge and inspire.
