Details

Amsterdam, the vibrant capital of the Netherlands, is famous for its canals, historic architecture, and an energetic urban spirit that spills into every corner of the city. Amid the charming cobblestone streets and iconic gabled houses, Fun Amsterdam offers an offbeat outdoor adventure that flips traditional football into a wild, laughter-filled experience. Their Bubble Football sessions bring a fresh twist to group sports, inviting players of all skill levels to suit up in inflatable zorb bubbles and charge the field in a safe, exhilarating game.

Unlike a conventional match, the bubble encasements allow—and encourage—players to collide, bounce, and tumble without injury, making the game as much about fun and chaos as about scoring goals. The playground often includes unique urban settings or open fields in North Holland, where historic Dutch elements create an unusual backdrop for this high-energy activity. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, team building, or just looking for an unconventional way to get active in Amsterdam, Fun Amsterdam’s Bubble Football offers a standout option.

What sets this experience apart in Amsterdam’s outdoor recreation scene is its blend of physicality, novelty, and social connection. The city’s mild climate in warmer months complements the activity’s playful nature, while the accessible location means players don’t need to venture far from urban conveniences. The equipment and setups are designed for safety and maximum fun, making it appealing to locals and visitors alike.

Fun Amsterdam taps into the city's dynamic and youthful vibe, offering something entirely different than the typical canal tours or museum visits. Bubble Football’s mix of sport and silliness invites participants to embrace movement, laughter, and teamwork in a memorable and interactive way. It’s a must-do for anyone wanting to inject an energetic dose of joy into their Amsterdam itinerary.
