• Feeding time at 4pm, when kids can help the farm manager feed the chickens and rabbits. Visitors may not feed the animals otherwise.
• Park and walk the last stretch, since cars stop at the Elsenhove recreation area lot and the lane to the farm is closed to traffic
• Picnics welcome at the picnic tables, with the In den Pappot tearoom selling drinks and ice cream (its terrace tables are for customers)

Speelboerderij Elsenhove is a city farm run by the municipality of Amstelveen, on the edge of the Elsenhove recreation area. Kids meet rare old Dutch breeds such as belted cows, spotted goats and North Holland Blue hens, then climb in a large adventure playground and a natural play area. The Peat Barn tells the area's peat history, and the farm sits on cycle routes near the Amstel river.
