Speeltuin Philipsdorp

Around the corner from Strijp-S, you will find one of Eindhoven’s most beautiful playgrounds called Speeltuin Philipsdorp. It is an open area with a separate area for the little ones. With lots of play equipment, a large sandbox, and a terrace there is fun for everyone. Nice little detail: the playground is designed so children with reduced mobility can play as well.

PreHistorisch Dorp

Ready for a journey through history? It's possible at PreHistorisch Dorp (Prehistoric Village)! In this open-air museum, children learn everything about historical eras through fun activities. Chat with locals, learn how to make a fire, or paddle in a dugout canoe. Extra tip: during the summer vacations there are even more activities, including lots of water fun.

Be surprised by Eindhovens own DAF. Everything they invented from 1928 to the present can be admired in the recently extended DAF Museum. Highly recommended for lovers of trucks and cars.

Escaperoom040

Discover, solve riddles, and escape from the kids' escape room of Escaperoom040. The rooms have been designed so even children can play with them. This not only makes for a day full of adventure but also is great for some brain training.
