Fantastic area to get away from the busy centre. We stayed nearby so walked through and it was a lovely change from the rest of the city. There is a cafe in the middle but it was closed when we went - I can imagine it would be lovely in the spring/summer for a picnic.

Large park to the south of Amsterdam centre. Worth a visit if you are going to the nearby Van Gogh Museum or Rijkmuseum. Nice to wander around on a winter's day. Lots of small lakes and statues.

The Saturday morning we walked around with a coffee and pastry and it was lovely. Close to our hotel, the park is large with alot of people on bikes, running or playing football. Alot of dog walkers too. There are lots of paths to take with little bridges and lakes. Lovely if yoy are visiting museums nearby or want to relax from the hustle and bustle of the centre.

Great escape from the bustling city streets. Loved the parakeets flying freely and clearly enjoying the park. Pity they don’t have separate cycling and pedestrian paths as bikes clearly rule the routes and pedestrians beware

Very nice park in the centre of the city. Very busy on a nice spring day. Has at least two places where you can sit and get a beer and something to eat. We got lost a few times looking for it. Would have been much easier to jump on tram number 2 which stops right near the park entrance and took us back to Amsterdam Centraal Station in 10 minutes

Spent a little time here in a very busy long weekend to rest my feet and absorb some sunshine. Very chilled out and clean. A couple of guys cycling round offering cold beers for sale - not sure if legally - but as I didn't want one, I don't know how expensive (or cold!) they were

This is a lovely spacious park. I took a walk around it after going to the museums, I did not stay too long as I was tired from walking all over the city. This park is approx 40 mins from Centraal station. It is very picturesque place, I enjoer wsyed observing the wildlife and lakes. The weather was good and you could easily spend all day here. Its worth a trip here if you have the time.

We stayed here for an hour or two to relax, eat and nap while our son played in the grass. We didn't have time to go further inside because we were already happy with our spot under a tree just maybe a 100 meters from the entrance. We were here to kill time before our canal cruise and I'm glad we went here. It was a hot summer afternoon and this is the perfect place to go. Just buy snacks/drinks at the nearest AH, bring a picnic blanket or just some cloth to cover the (slightly wet/cold grass) then you're good.

What a beautiful but very very busy park! It’s a large area and you can easily spend hours wondering around and taking in the trees, flowers, statues, fountains and wildlife! Perfect for a sunny day with a picnic! Would recommend a visit here

We stayed near Vondelpark while visiting Amsterdam, and it was a good place for our children, age 4 and 6, to explore. It would make a good visit for anyone though as there are many different areas of the park. You’ll see lots of people walking, biking, and picnicking. A good way to see the people of Amsterdam living life.
