How do we visit the Miffy Museum in Utrecht with a toddler?
Reserve the time slot before anything else. The Nijntje Museum at Agnietenstraat 2 sells entry online only, states plainly that "there are no tickets available at the museum", and requires a slot even for museum-card holders. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 17:00, and closes on Mondays, New Year's Day, King's Day and Christmas Day. Under-twos go free; ages 2 to 6 and adults pay €14, ages 7 to 17 pay €10. The museum is about 47 minutes from Amsterdam by car, and with seats fitted before pickup at €5 each, five hours costs €325 in Business Class or €400 in a Van with space for the stroller.

A toddler-paced morning
| Time | What |
|---|---|
| 09:10 | Pickup; car seats already in |
| 10:00 | First slot of the day, when the rooms are calm |
| 11:15 | Snack, then the Miffy statue on Nijntje Pleintje |

| 13:00 | Back in the car, which usually means a nap |
| 13:50 | Amsterdam |
What to pack in the car
A folded stroller counts as one piece of luggage. Tell dispatch each child's age or weight so the right seat is fitted, and add a second seat for an older sibling.
