Do adults need a ticket?

Yes. In 2026 kids paid a small activity fee and adults paid regular museum admission, which also gets you into the period rooms.

The craft and coloring tables are inside the house, so there is still plenty to do. The egg hunt itself is in the open garden, so bring rain jackets.

Is there anything for parents while the kids craft?

The house is a museum of its own, with Neo-Louis XVI salons and the art and objects Abraham Willet and Louisa Holthuysen collected and left to the city.

About

Kids search for hidden Easter eggs in the formal garden behind Huis Willet-Holthuysen, a 17th-century canal house on the Herengracht. It is one of the few formal gardens left in central Amsterdam, with clipped hedges and spring bulbs that start flowering in late March. Indoors, kids make an Easter craft or color pages with staff helping, while parents can look around the house's lavish period rooms.

Kids €2.50 (2026)
