Airport playgrounds and other amenities that make airports kid-friendly can make a big difference! During our travels, the very first and the last place we go through is the airport. A baby-friendly airport can ease some of the stress that comes with flying with kids. Therefore, we asked our Club members to vote for the most baby-friendly airports. A lot of them mentioned unique airport playgrounds they have been to. In this post, we will share information and tips about the most kid-friendly airports.

And here are the results:

  • Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands
  • Ministro Pistarini International Airport (aka Ezeiza International Airport) in Buenos Aires, Argentina
  • Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (aka Madrid–Barajas Airport) in Spain
  • Frankfurt Airport in Germany.

  • Babycare lounge

There are quiet areas with cribs for your baby to sleep in and take naps and sofa and chairs for parents to relax. They have lactation areas for you to bathe and feed your babies and have changing tables in various spaces (not only in the babycare lounge but also around the airport) for you to change your baby’s diapers.

The Baby Care Lounge is on Holland Boulevard, between Departure Lounges 2 and 3. Note: Lounge 2 and 3 are only accessible for intercontinental passengers. Use of the Baby Care Lounge is free of charge. For more information, please check their official website.

  • Multiple airport playgrounds
