About this venue
Step into a world of vibrant imagination at Candy Castle, one of Amsterdam's most characterful play spots, housed within a magnificent former church in Amsterdam-West. This truly unique setting offers an unforgettable indoor playground experience, where soaring ceilings provide a dramatic backdrop for hours of energetic fun. Kids aged 1 to 12 will delight in exploring a colourful labyrinth of slides, bouncing on trampolines, diving into a massive ball pit, and even zipping around a go-kart track.
The slightly unusual yet incredibly fun ambiance makes Candy Castle a perfect destination for families looking to add a touch of whimsy to their day. While the children are fully engrossed in their adventures, parents can relax and unwind in the on-site café, enjoying a moment of peace amidst the playful chaos. It’s an ideal escape on a rainy Dutch afternoon or a cool haven during a warm summer day, providing a valuable indoor option when outdoor play isn't feasible.
The expansive space ensures there's always something new to discover, keeping little ones engaged and active. The imaginative repurposing of a historic building creates a truly distinctive atmosphere that sets Candy Castle apart from typical play centres. It's a fantastic spot to let children burn off some energy in a safe and stimulating environment, promising smiles and happy memories for the whole family.
