Indoor options in the area include Cinema Rialto, located on Ceintuurbaan. The cinema screens children's films throughout the year. During school holiday periods, the venue expands its services to host a dedicated youth program, which incorporates craft activities, coloring days, and specialized workshops for children [3]. For families interested in a hands-on experience, the stroopwafel workshop is an available option. This activity is designed for groups, accommodating up to 20 people per session, making it a viable choice for family outings [4].
