• Age 5 and up only, since children under 4½ are not admitted, though older kids enjoy the shows too
• Wednesday and Saturday shows most weeks, plus extra shows in the school holidays; pick a date in the online agenda
• Fresh-air ventilation on a separate system, so the air in the hall is not recirculated

Kooman's Poppentheater has played puppet shows every week since 1960, which makes it the oldest permanent puppet theater in the Netherlands. The puppets, sets and songs are all made in-house, and the nine children's shows follow Wasco the raccoon and his friends through new adventures.

The shows are cheerful and mildly suspenseful, with plenty of laughs, and not too babyish for older kids.
