It is a nice, big park. You could walk for over an hour and only be half way done. Spent the day there just watching the wildlife and people. We also went without the truffels and it was beautiful. Nice place to have a smoke and watch the Dutch. Lakes and a few statues.

Fun very busy park. Lots to do and see. Went a couple of times during our stay. Plenty for all ages. Just go.
On a day when we hired bikes we travelled down to Vondelpark to eat some lunch and relax. Plenty of space, with lots of little lakes to sit by. It was clean and green and made a very nice place to stop off.
