Ah... the song "Return of the Mack" is forever ingrained in my head because of this place! i never…read moreknew this place existed until my friends celebrated a birthday here. it's a bit off the beaten path (near centraal station) but worth it. They offer bowling and laser tag. They play fun music. Heard "Return of the Mack" 3 times that evening. They have a bar/cafe with a seating area inside and out. For one hour of bowling, 20 mins of laser tag, 2 free drinks (alcoholic included) & a basket of fried Dutch finger food for 23€ per person. Not bad!

I'm playing laser tag and it is super fun! You can also play bowling and mini golf! Perfect for a…read morebirthday party because there are so many things to do!

Located in the bottom of the Woonarena. Playground is nice and recently renovated. However if you…read morecome by car, there are no instructions on where to park, especially morning when the woonmall is closed. You need to park in p5 (arena parking) and go via the boulevard exit. This will take you right to the entry, but took trial and error to find.

Seemed like the playground had sand toys for everyone to share, which was great because we didn't bring any of our own. Lovely picturesque setting by a canal. Nearby to cool boutiques on Haarlemmerstraat.

As a dog owner, I am only partially happy with the Theo van Gogh park on IJburg (named after the…read moreDutch film maker). There are no dog parks on IJburg, so a bit jealous of this one, as I can only circle around it. No dogs allowed! (This is probably a good thing). This park is really a large playground, where kids can play football, basketball and other sports. There are several play areas, with different activities, suitable for kids of different ages. When the weather allows it, the many schools around the park use it as playground too. It's nice to have this available in this neighborhood, with so many children.

My boyfriend brought me here last weekend to try climbing. To be honest we had stopped in another…read moretime "just to look" and I got so scared I didn't think I was going to be able to do it. But I tried to be a good sport and put on the harness to show I was making an effort. Ha. It's very chill inside with lots of walls. You should wear workout-type clothes and rent the harness and shoes if you don't have your own. There are a few staff walking around if you have questions, but basically you're left to it, unless you're a total beginner without a more experienced partner and in that case you should book AHEAD OF TIME an introduction (I think it's around 20 euros - this is so you do it safely, not so much on HOW to do it as I understood - there are separate classes for that). There are changing rooms upstairs (without lockers, boo). There are lots of tables and chairs and post-climbing we had tea and some soup with nice dark bread. I like that they are open late as this makes for a nice evening activity.

Decent sized gym with a good mix of overhangs, straight up wall, short walls, features, and a…read morebouldering section. Staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. They emphasize safety (as they should) and constantly do walk-abouts to ensure nobody is being unsafe. There are also plenty of places to chill out and rest (tables, chairs, sofas). They also serve food and drinks here! I haven't had any of the items on the menu but you could easily turn a climbing session here into an all-morning/afternoon/evening affair. Hannekes Boom is across the way so that's an option too. The routes are challenging but fun. I do prefer the coloured sticker system as opposed to coloured holds. Some holds lose their colour,some routes zig-zag onto other walls, and some routes placed in close proximity to each other use the same colours. I've strayed off the route a couple times and have wasted time & energy trying to determine which holds are mine. The people who climb here are also very awesome. A good mix of expats and locals all just wanting to have a good workout in a laid back atmosphere. Lessons & gear available for sale/rent. Try it out!

Its funny how both london and 'dam are similar - basically its the same sort of layout etc.. except instead of a sweeny todd scene, you have a famous dutch 'nutter' scene.
