Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Delft, South Holland Province
Vermeer’s birthplace and a true gem, Delft sits between The Hague and Rotterdam in the country’s southwest. The city’s name comes from the Dutch word for digging, fitting since canals are a highlight here. Others include the 13th-century Old Church, the 15th-century New Church and the Prinsenhof, once home to William of Orange and now a museum. Delft has long been a center for fine ceramics, and traditional hand painting methods can still be witnessed at Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles.

A visit to Delft is not complete without walking over Delft's own tower bridge. Someone actually lives here!

No admission fee. The Church is full of beautiful things to see! Stained glass windows, artwork and a great ambience. The Church is still an active Roman Catholic Church, built around 1875. Great organ and choir!

Whoever comes to Delft automatically ends up on the market. Cozy square with a lot of history. The logical center of Delft with its (souvenir) shops, many terraces and a variety of dining options. With the Nieuwe Kerk on one side and the historic town hall on the other, you have an ideal backdrop for enjoying on one of the many large terraces. There is always something going on at the market, such as a wedding in the town hall, tourists who want to visit the tomb of Willem van Oranje or the Oranges in the church.

Handsome and colorful, the Delft town hall on the main square has working offices inside. The central gray tower was an old fortification tower which had houses built up around it for protection. When they burned years ago the town hall was built around the tower. The jail continued to be in the tower and there are tours available of the jail cells and torture instruments. We were told that for a price when you exit after being married in the town hall you can have the carillon in the new church at the other end of the square play a song of your choice, What a great way to surprise your sweetie!

At BuytenDelft there are a lot of animals to cuddle and to see. During the weekends you can take a ride on one of the pony's or we turn on the fire place to bake your own bread or to pop some corn. Next to the farm there's a big playground. During the summer season kids can play in the water (€2,-p.p.). During the winter season the playground is open to play (free). There is a little lunchroom where you can enjoy pancakes, sandwiches, soup and more.
