    Hi
    I am hoping to visit Amsterdam with my 7 and 8 year old children in April. Our main purpose is to visit the Anne Frank Museum. Any tips on where to stay please?
    Thank you

    We stayed in Urban Lodge hotel which was a couple of stops from Centraal Station, clean and very well priced. I took my 11 year old to the Anne Frank House and she got a lot from it. I can’t say enjoyed because it is very emotional and a bit harrowing. I don’t know if you’ve been there before but it is now an interpretative Centre and quite different from years ago. I didn’t take my seven year old and am glad I didn’t. He would not have had the concentration or literacy skills required. It’s an excellent centre though.
    We also visited the Ripleys believe it or not museum in Amsterdam, which was interesting and fun but not particularly Dutch. My kids did not love Amsterdam. They are now familiar with some smells they’d rather not know about and the trams and traffic were really hectic.
    We went to Park Efteling which was a couple of hours from Amsterdam by public transport and probably our favourite place ever to have visited as a family. I’d encourage you to look into that and not to base your trip all in Amsterdam with young kids.
