Euromast hosts autumn activities from 17 to 24 October

Euromast in Rotterdam adds mini boats, balloon art and face painting to its family programme from 17 to 24 October 2026.

Euromast hosts its autumn holiday activities in Rotterdam from 17 to 24 October 2026. The family programme combines mini boats, a scavenger hunt, balloon art, face painting and the Rise of Rotterdam experience.

Euromast sets out its autumn holiday programme

The operator’s programme begins with mini boats from 17 to 20 October 2026. On 17 October 2026, balloon artist Bloony is scheduled to appear from 11am to 3pm, while face painting is planned for 21 and 24 October 2026 from 11am to 2pm.

Children can also follow a scavenger hunt through the attraction. The Rise of Rotterdam presents the city’s development through light effects, sound and moving images, giving the school holiday programme a link to Rotterdam’s urban history. The operator describes the activities on its autumn holiday programme page.

Rotterdam tower connects family activities with its history

Euromast stands beside Het Park at Parkhaven, on the edge of Rotterdam’s Maritime District. The 185-metre observation tower was designed by architect H.A. Maaskant for the Floriade of 1960, according to Rotterdam’s tourism authority.

The tower originally opened at a lower height before the Space Tower was added in 1970. That history is reflected in the current visitor route: The Rise of Rotterdam deals with the city’s rebuilding and growth, while the Euroscoop rotates as it carries visitors towards 185 metres. The autumn programme therefore places children’s activities inside a landmark whose main attraction is already built around Rotterdam’s story.

What the autumn dates add to a tower visit

The programme gives the autumn school holiday a series of specific activities rather than a single event day. Mini boats are scheduled for 17 to 20 October 2026, balloon art for 17 October 2026, and face painting for 21 and 24 October 2026.

The wider visit includes the observation platforms, the Euroscoop and the immersive Rise of Rotterdam experience. The tower’s platforms reach 100 metres, while the rotating lift rises to 185 metres, making the family programme distinct from a standard city viewpoint visit.
