Can we bring our own food?

Yes. Picnics are welcome anywhere on the farm except the terrace in front of the tearoom In den Pappot and indoors.

Is the playground any good for older kids?

The renovated play garden and natural play area are laid out for kids up to about 12, so it works best for primary-school ages.

Can we stay after the party?

Yes. The farm stays open until 5pm on Sundays, and the tearoom until 4:30pm.

About

Elsenhove, the municipal play farm on the edge of Amstelveen, turns spooky for an afternoon. Kids carve pumpkins, sip witch's tea and take a spooky walk around the farm grounds, then wander off to the rare Dutch breeds or the natural playground. It's a homemade Halloween run by the farm's volunteers: gentle, outdoorsy and better suited to younger kids than to anyone after real scares.
