Make your own collage animation during the free drop-in activity, join the playful acting workshop, watch and play at Cinemini, and much more!

Discovery route for families

Children aged 4 through 12 and their parents or guardians can take on Eye's Mission Supereyes discovery route, which criss-crosses through the museum building. Pick up the booklet when you visit the What is Film exhibition and discover the superpowers in your eyes!

Children's screenings

You can see the best children's films on Eye's four screens: every Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and daily during the school holidays.

An impression of what's on offer for children and families:

Filmmagie

Filmmagie is watching and making. Discover the magic of cinema with short animations from Eye’s extensive collection. The children will also draw their own flipbooks thereby learning how to animate still images.

Cinemini

Eye’s finest and most intimate film theatre is a great place for children aged 2 to 6 to experience their first cinema visit. Every Sunday morning, Eye’s Cinemini opens especially for preschoolers and their (grand)parents, where children are treated to a film, followed by experiments with light and shadow in small play tents.
