Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Expected arrival: ± 14.00 uur; the photo line closes at 15.30 uur; the oliebol activity runs 13.30 tot 14.00 uur.

Tips & Advice

  • Have the kids bring a drawing, their wish list and a carrot for Ozosnel, since Sinterklaas collects them from his chair on Julianaplein.
  • Come before Sinterklaas arrives, because children get a free oliebolletje at the oliebollen stall on Julianaplein in the half hour beforehand.
  • Join the photo line in good time, as it closes partway through the afternoon and the big crowd means not everyone gets a private photo.
  • Stop at SpeelOsaurus in the shopping passage first so your child can color a picture to hand to Sinterklaas.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Free oliebolletje for children at the oliebollen stall on Julianaplein in the half hour before Sinterklaas arrives.
