Sports in the Christmas holidays

The Christmas holidays run from Saturday 19 December through to Sunday 3 January. Two weeks off, so there's time to go swimming or skating with the kids, or to try something new.

What can you do?

  • Swimming

    Kardinge is open for recreational swimming during school holidays. De Parrel and the Helperzwembad have children's afternoons in the short holidays, with toys in the water. Check the timetable to see which days those are.

  • Ice skating

    At the Kardinge ice rink you can go public skating. You hire skates at the desk. And if it freezes, the natural ice rinks open.

  • Bouldering

    The bouldering halls are open every day and you pay per visit. Check at the hall from what age children can take part.

  • Trying something new

    Not sure what your child likes? The choice helper will point you in the right direction, and many clubs offer a trial training after the holidays.
