Isn't the tour too long for toddlers?

A tour of 1.5 hours will always have a short break, during which the toddlers can go to the toilet and run around in the courtyard garden. Thanks to the alternation of the two different dolls, the tour remains interesting for the toddlers.

Is the price feasible for a kindergarten class?

The city of Antwerp offers a grant for cultural and sports activities for toddlers. All information can be found via www.klasopstap.be/kleutermenu
