Schiphol keeps children entertained in Kids Forest – 06/05/09

That’s airport entertainment: Playing in real treehouses at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol’s new Kids Forest playground


NETHERLANDS. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has introduced a new playground to keep younger passengers entertained. The Kids Forest is believed to be a first for any airport worldwide.

The airport authority has created Dutch forest-like surroundings, including real treehouses, slides and a range of climbing and play equipment, beyond passport control between Piers E and F on Holland Boulevard.

The Kids Forest, located next to the Schiphol BabyCare Lounge, is free of charge and aimed at children aged between three and nine.

Later this year a seating area will be built around the forest perimeter, offering digital entertainment and computer games for children aged nine to 11 and a place for parents to relax. Parents are also encouraged to join in the fun with their kids, said Schiphol Group.
