Kun je een locatie buiten Amsterdam-West kiezen?

Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

When planning an unforgettable children’s party or holiday camp, one of the first questions many parents ask is: Kun je een locatie buiten Amsterdam-West kiezen? At UP Events Kids, we know that the right location can make all the difference. Whether you’re looking for a vibrant city venue or a peaceful spot surrounded by nature, we’re here to help you create magical moments for your child — wherever you choose to celebrate.

Why Consider a Location Outside Amsterdam-West?

Choosing a venue outside Amsterdam-West opens up a world of possibilities. From the historic charm of Weesp to the green spaces around Amsterdam, each location brings its own unique flair to your event. Here’s why more parents are exploring options beyond the city’s western neighborhoods:

  • Variety of Experiences: Locations like Weesp and Amsterdam-Centrum offer activities you might not find in your own neighborhood, such as climbing walls, glow golf, or even farm visits. This variety ensures every party or camp is a new adventure.
  • Access to Nature: Many parents value the chance for children to engage with the outdoors. Venues near parks, forests, or farms allow kids to run, play, and connect with nature — something especially important in today’s digital age.
  • Reduced Crowding: Less central venues are often quieter and more spacious, making them ideal for larger groups or energetic activities like Bubbleball and Archery Tag.
  • Cultural Enrichment: Community centers and local farms often provide educational or cultural activities alongside entertainment, adding an extra layer of value to your event.

What to Consider When Choosing a Venue

While the benefits are clear, organizing a children’s party or camp outside Amsterdam-West does require some extra planning. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Transport and Accessibility

Traveling to a different part of Amsterdam or a nearby city like Weesp may require additional transport arrangements. Consider whether the venue is easily accessible by public transport or if there’s ample parking for guests. For parents without cars, proximity to train or bus stations can be a deciding factor.

Venue Availability

Popular venues, especially those offering unique experiences like VR games or escape challenges, may book up quickly. It’s wise to plan and reserve your spot well in advance, particularly during school holidays or weekends.

Weather Considerations

Outdoor venues are fantastic for active play but can be weather-dependent. Many parents opt for hybrid events that combine indoor and outdoor activities, ensuring the fun continues rain or shine. At UP Events Kids, we offer both indoor and outdoor facilities at our Amsterdam West and Weesp locations, so you’re covered whatever the weather.

Regulations and Safety

Safety is always our top priority. In the Netherlands, children’s event venues must comply with strict health and safety regulations, including fire safety, hygiene, and child protection laws. Activities like climbing or archery require certified instructors and may have age or supervision requirements. We ensure all our activities — from Lasergame to Archery — are supervised by trained professionals and meet all legal standards.

For more on regulations, see the Dutch government’s guidelines on children’s events.

What Parents Want: Insights from the Experts

Based on recent research and parent feedback, here’s what families look for when selecting a venue for their child’s party or camp:

  • Safety and Supervision: Certified staff, secure environments, and clear safety protocols are non-negotiable.
  • Age-Appropriate Activities: Tailored experiences for different age groups ensure everyone has fun and stays engaged. Our activities are designed for children aged 7 to 14, with options for every interest and energy level.
  • Convenience: Easy access, parking, and public transport options make life easier for busy families.
  • Facilities: Clean restrooms, catering options, and flexible indoor/outdoor spaces are highly valued.
  • Flexibility: The ability to accommodate dietary restrictions, group sizes, and special requests makes for a stress-free experience.
