Philips Museum brings back Kids Factory workshops

For children who like circuits, tools and making things, Philips Museum Kids Factory is more engaging than a passive museum visit and works well as a half-day Eindhoven tech plan.

• When and where: Kidsproof lists summer Kids Factory windows including 12-18 July, 26 July-1 August and 9-15 August at Philips Museum, Eindhoven.
• Who it suits: Children aged 6-12 who enjoy electronics, small inventions and hands-on tasks, plus parents who want a Dutch technology story rather than another playground.
• Before you go: Age groups may use different materials and tools. Check times, availability, language, safety rules and whether parents need to stay before booking.

Hokimi field note: This is the type of school-holiday workshop worth booking early; small workshop capacity often disappears faster than normal museum tickets.
