Visit the animals At Kinderboerderij Essesteijn
Kinderboerderij Essesteijn is a friendly place for visitors of all ages, and of course for real animal lovers. The cows, chickens, sheep, rabbits and guinea pigs that roam here are good company for children and parents. The presence of the historic farmhouse also gives the site a characteristic feel.
Essesteijn is run by a nice team of people with slight disabilities, who look after the site and the animals. That makes Kinderboerderij Essesteijn not just a pleasant place to visit but also a unique workplace.

Informational panel Voetbal Noortheylaan
In 2018, scientific research provided evidence that Leidschendam is the birthplace of Dutch football. Because until 1882, Leidschendam was home to Jongenskostschool Noorthey, where the first football match on Dutch soil was played around 1864.
Opa's Veldje
The big playing field at Opa's veldje offers plenty of space to play football or just run around. And in the neighbouring playground, the children will have a great time.
