Sinterklaas at the Zaanse Schans<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 19 November to early December, the Zaanse Schans is all about winter fun. During this period, there are several Sinterklaas activities for families that bring the heritage, crafts and village to life in a playful way.<\/p>\n

Sinterschans route \u2013 Zaans Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sinterklaas has set up a fun treasure hunt among the wooden houses. Children can pick up their stamp card at the Zaans Museum and set off on a trail of little surprises and simple tasks.<\/p>\n

Hulppietjes High Tea \u2013 Zaans Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those who want to enjoy a tasty treat in between can visit the museum for an atmospheric high tea full of savoury and sweet Sinterklaas snacks. Fun for the whole family and ideal to combine with the route.<\/p>\n

Mill adventure \u201cSint en het Verdwenen Kruid\u201d (Sinterklaas and the Missing Herb) \u2013 De Zaansche Molen<\/strong><\/p>\n

On one day in late November, children can enjoy a fragrant treasure hunt in the De Bleeke Dood and De Huisman mills. The bakers need help finding a missing baking ingredient for speculaas, and along the way, children will surprisingly discover the mill craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

Sinterklaas and the Pieten would love to visit our beautiful heritage village of Zaanse Schans themselves, but this is simply not possible because they have a very busy schedule visiting every roof and door in the Netherlands. Everyone can enjoy the SinterSchans activities at Zaanse Schans.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
