Cool Kids’ Night: Hip Hip Hooray!
17 October
During Cool Kids’ Night on Friday 17 October, you can get a sneak peek of the autumn holiday activities themed “Hip Hip Hooray! – Sustainable eating is a celebration.”
Want to visit the museum in the evening? You can — on Friday 17 October during Cool Kids’ Night!
Children will dive into the theme of sustainable eating through fun, hands-on activities. They’ll complete different challenges using all their senses to make conscious choices — choices that are good for people, animals and the planet.

Children will dive into the theme of sustainable eating through fun, hands-on activities. They’ll complete different challenges using all their senses to make conscious choices — choices that are good for people, animals and the planet. The burger box they receive upon arrival will gradually be filled with ingredients they choose and create themselves. By the end of the evening, every child will have crafted their very own “conscious burger” as a “conscious citizen.”
To support this, the Natuurmuseum has developed a special Sustainable Food Wheel, inspired by the Dutch Schijf van Vijf (Five Food Groups). Each section introduces children to a new way to eat more sustainably — such as replacing meat with seaweed or insects, eating seasonal produce, choosing local products, and reusing leftovers to make something new. There’s even space for creative, forward-thinking ideas like growing vegetables in vertical towers or creating food with a 3D printer. And of course, there will be something to taste — if you dare!
