SAT 31 Oct - AIC Kids & Parents: The Social Playdate @ Moxy 🍿🍭

 

📢 The perfect Saturday. Kids Play, Parents Socialize!

 

Hello expats community, we know, we still remember how hard it is to balance adult conversation with keeping our own kids entertained on a weekend. That's why we're so excited to bring everyone back to the 9th floor of the Moxy Houthavens. It has a high-energy vibe with a full 360-degree view of Amsterdam, and this time we're giving it a fun Halloween twist. The space will be fully decorated, so bring your little ones dressed up in their favorite costumes.

 

Inside, you will find an enclosed, safe area where the kids can run wild, eat popcorn and cotton candy, or play with giant Jenga while you relax. The parents' bar sits right next to the play zone, making it easy to grab a coffee or a cocktail and talk with people who get the expat life. It sits right around the corner from [nearby landmark or transport stop], and free parking is available at the hotel. We have the whole top floor reserved, so just mention AIC at reception when you arrive. 🎃

 

Here’s what’s in it for the whole family:

• For the Kids: A dedicated play zone with a Popcorn machine, Cotton Candy, Jenga, and even a TV with Dutch cartoons to help them pick up the local lingo! 🍿🍭

• For the Parents: A private bar right next to the play area. Grab a coffee or a cocktail, enjoy the view, and meet other expats who actually "get it." 🍹🏙️

• Safe & Easy: The space is enclosed, so you can keep an eye on them while you socialize.

• Bring the Favorites: Feel free to bring along your child's favorite board game or toy to share and play with new friends!

• 🧸 Is there an age limit? Since this is a pilot event, we are open to all international families! As a guideline, the activities and space are ideal for children between 2 and 10 years old. Our AIC host will be there with their own daughters (aged 3 and 5), so your little ones will definitely have someone to play with!
