The Museumplein has some new, noteworthy features including a huge wading pool by the Rijksmuseum, that doubles as an ice skating rink in the winter. A skateboard park, kiosks selling refreshments, and an underground carpark round out the facilities. A visit to the park is recommended on sunny days or if you happen to be in the area for the museums. You could pick up a snack and watch the people playing football, frisbee, or just grab some sun while it lasts.<\/p>\n

The Museumplein is also host for the biggest events of the year in Amsterdam including Queen’s Day<\/strong><\/a> and the Uitmarkt<\/strong><\/a>. Evening pop or classical concerts have become very popular, and the venue has proved to be excellent, with many of the performances being aired on national TV.<\/p>\n
