Frequently asked questions
- General Entry Ticket for every child and adult attending • Entry is free or by donation – pay what you can • Your contribution supports future family-friendly community events ❤️
Yes, a caregiver must stay with the child at all times. This is a shared, co-created experience, not a drop-off event.
Very possibly and that’s okay :) We recommend comfy, mess-friendly clothes for both kids and grown-ups.
Bring gently used children’s toys, clothes, or books to swap with others! If you don’t have items to bring, we’ll have a low-cost purchase table so everyone can still participate.
De Natuurkamer is accessible by bike, stroller, public transit, or car.
