Exploring Delft with Kids: Why BizStay is a Great Family Choice

Planning a trip to Delft with your family? Good choice. Delft is small, safe, easy to navigate, and full of things that are fun for both kids and grownups. Whether you are coming for a weekend, a longer stay, or a stop in between cities, staying in one of our BizStay apartments in the heart of Delft gives you the comfort of home and the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Central, quiet and spacious

Our apartments in Delft are located on the Koornmarkt, right in the old city centre. you will be within walking distance of everything, but tucked away on a quiet canal. That means you can enjoy Delfts charm without the crowds and noise – and without needing to pack everyone into a car or tram every time you go out.

The apartments are fully furnished and equipped with everything you need: a kitchen (great for picky eaters), your own washer and dryer, and separate bedrooms so no one has to sleep on the floor. We also provide high chairs and baby cots on request.

No need to rush

When travelling with kids, having your own space makes all the difference. You can eat when it suits you, take a nap when needed, and skip the rigid schedules of hotels. Many of our guests say that staying in an apartment lets them enjoy the city more – because they can slow down when they want to.

Things to do with kids in Delft

There is plenty to discover in Delft thats fun for families:

Boat tour through the canals – A relaxed way to see the city and a hit with most kids. Science Centre Delft – A handson museum linked to the TU Delft, where kids can build, play, and learn.

Climbing the Nieuwe Kerk tower – For older kids, climbing the 376 steps is an adventure (and the view is worth it). 

Strolling through the botanical gardens – Just outside the city centre, a peaceful place to explore. 

Ice cream at Luciano – A local favourite for a reason.

Looking for a family friendly place to eat? Delft has plenty of relaxed spots where kids are welcome and adults can enjoy a good meal. Our favourites include Loetje for their famous steak, Il Tartufo for Italian classics, Lef for casual bites, Pavarotti for pizza and pasta, and De Sjees with a great outdoor terrace.

And when the weather turns Dutch (read: wet), your apartment is a comfortable place to hang out. Watch a movie, make pancakes, play a board game, it is your own space, not just a place to sleep.

Delft is perfectly located for short trips to other cities. you are 15 minutes from The Hague, 20 minutes from Rotterdam, and under an hour from Amsterdam. But you can skip the busy stations and tourist traps by returning to the calm of Delft in the evening.

Guests say it best

We regularly host families who are visiting for holidays, expat assignments, or just to spend time together in a new city. What they appreciate most is the balance between comfort and flexibility. A place to stay that feels easy and relaxed, with everything close by.
