Nijntje Museum (Miffy Museum), Utrecht (must see)

The Miffy Museum is a delight for children. The museum features ten different rooms, each with a different theme. The museum is inspired by Miffy, a character in Dick Bruna's books.

Miffy, a bunny rabbit, was first featured in Dick Bruna's 1955 children's book and has been charming young children for generations.

Each room explores a different theme. Kids can find interactive, hands-on activities as they explore the museum. Kids can go to the zoo and play with the animals. They can teach parrots to speak through a microphone that repeats their words back to them. They can climb throughout the zoo and enjoy a slide.

Kids can pretend to be a doctor at the doctor's office and help Boris Bear get well. In Miffy's house, kids can create a cake, mow Miffy's lawn, or put Miffy to bed.

In the road traffic area, kids can learn about traffic signs and take a trike for a ride.

Dick Bruna aimed to keep his stories simple to give kids rooms for their imaginations to take over. The museum also aims to let kids' imaginations run wild.
