Royal and Political The Hague for Kids, 5 of 10: Peace Palace Visitors Centre


The Visitors Centre explains the Peace Palace, the 1913 building that houses the UN's International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. An audio tour covers the palace's history and the work of the courts inside.
The grounds are open only on guided tours: inside the palace, around the outside, or through the garden. It suits school-age kids curious about how countries resolve disputes without war.
