The Schiphol Airport Park is now accessible to all airport passengers flying out of Amsterdam's airport. The indoor park features both an immense interior and an outdoor terrace, which can be used when the weather is nice. The indoor park mimics a real outdoor park in almost every way imaginable with plants, trees, flowers, picnic benches, green carpeting and pictures of butterflies mounted to the wall. The Schiphol Airport Park also includes a daily soundtrack of bike bell sounds, animals and children playing.
Passengers waiting for their flight can relax amongst the perfectly designed park while enjoying an organic coffee or snack from the Park Café. Using LED lighting wherever possible, this indoor park receives a few extra brownie points for being equally as environmentally friendly as it is innovative.
