However the most well known is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schiphol.nl\" target=\"_blank\">Amsterdam Airport Schiphol<\/a>. Despite the name, the airport is actually located about twenty minutes\u00a0south west\u00a0of the city. According to Wikipedia:<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><em>&#8220;Schiphol is an important European airport, ranking as Europe\u2019s 4th busiest and the world&#8217;s 12th busiest by total passenger traffic. It also ranks as the world\u2019s 6th busiest by international passenger traffic and the world\u2019s 17th largest for cargo tonnage. 49.8 million passengers passed through the airport in 2011, a 10% increase compared with 2010.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>The airport is known for its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.terminalu.com\/travel-features\/10-great-things-to-do-when-transferring-at-amsterdam-airport-schiphol\/3359\/\" target=\"_blank\">unique entertainment and facilities<\/a>. Two fun things about the airport are the Kids\u00a0Forest\u00a0and the relatively new Airport Park. The Kids Forest, located beyond passport control on Holland Boulevard (between Piers E and F) is an indoor playground. A range of climbing and play equipment, including &#8220;tree-houses&#8221; is the perfect place for kids to use up some energy before flying.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>The Airport Park on the other hand is perfect for adults. Located in Lounge 1, by Gate D, the park is a green &#8220;outdoor&#8221; experience for you to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet away from the bustle of the airport.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><strong>Answers from Tuesday&#8217;s post about <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/dutch\/the-verb-hebben-to-have\/\">the verb hebben<\/a>:<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><strong>Goed of fout?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. fout<\/p>\n<p>2. goed<\/p>\n<p>3. goed<\/p>\n<p>4. goed<\/p>\n<p>5. fout<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vul de goede vorm van het werkwoord \u2018hebben\u2019 in:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
