Leidschenveen and Ypenburg sit on The Hague's southeast edge, newer neighborhoods laced with canals, bike paths and green space. This list is for families who live here or are passing through: farm animals to feed, indoor pools and play halls for wet days, and the seasonal events that turn up close by. Check it before you cycle into town.
Stadsboerderij Landzigt is a city-run farm in Leidschenveen where kids see the daily work of a farm up close. There is a wide mix of animals, a green play area and a regular program of activities, and school groups come often for its lessons.
Lunch café De Smulhoeve is right next door, so a farm visit and a sit-down lunch fit in one trip.
Het Hofbad is the city's most modern municipal pool, built around a 50-meter competition pool used for water polo and squad training, with four springboards and a 5-meter diving tower.
Families mostly head for the large recreation pool, which has a 60-meter slide, a whirlpool and a wild-water creek. A separate toddler pool and a teaching pool for lessons sit alongside.
An indoor arcade in the same building as the Pathé Ypenburg cinema. Kids load credit onto a blue Playcard and swipe it at each machine: air hockey, pinball, Mario Kart with real kart seats, a giant Hungry Hippos for up to four players, Break a Plate and claw machines. Many games pay out tickets, and better scores win more. There is a coffee corner for parents and lockers on site.
EPICX Den Haag is an indoor play center where one ticket covers several activity zones. Kids can run across the Mega Bounce, a giant inflatable, jump on the interactive Active Pixel floor, explore the Fun House and play laser tag.
Toddlers get a zone of their own, there is a Clay Café Lab for creative play, and mini e-karts are an add-on for older kids.
