We have always heard great things about this museum and its interactive nature, so we finally decided to check it out and I can honestly say it was amazing.There was a great balance of education, exploration and fun and things to do for all ages, however, I must say its a bit embarrassing when adults are holding up queues of children to play on every exhibition! This is very much a kid-centric place and so it should be!We enjoyed the lab experiments which highlighted the importance of using sunscreen and the puzzles dotted throughout certainly piqued my childs interest.For such a hands on venue, it was great to see the amount of hand sanitizing stations available to us and they made hand cleaning a feature of the exhibit! Pandemic or not, Im glad to see children being more hygienic!We booked tickets online on the day and we arrived 20 minutes early, they were not busy and therefore we didnt want to queue. I would dread to go there on a busy day as I can imagine queuing for every exhibit to be rather tedious. We did queue for a couple of exhibits, but it wasnt overly time consuming.My son had a lot of fun and used every second of our 2 hour slot, he probably could have stayed another 2 hours but we were satisfied with the amount of time to explore!There were clear markings on the floor to guide us in, around and out which aided the social distancing measures.The cafe and toilets were open and clean.Overall it was a great day out in a lovely location!

Interesting, especially if you have children.But good for adults also.

A great place for kids and also for adults! Lots of hands-on scientific experiments with stepwise illustrations. So much fun!

Went here after a few rounds in the mates. Gotta say we didnt learn much but we still had a blast

Scientific museum, interactive, good place to see it,alone, friends with family,kids will like it, see the roof and enjoy the view of Amsterdam, the roof can see for free too, use the stair on the site of the building, open till 7pm, but check the site

Beautiful setup, amazing attractions and science experiments for youngsters. You can enjoy the roof restaurant overlooking Amsterdam. Highly recommended

Super entertaining and playful museum, loved every floor of it! Would highly recommend if you have children, or if you just want to spend a few hours learning new things about science.

I love science museum. Ive been to quite a few. I loved NEMO it is very dynamic and hands on... I will not give 5 starts just because I thought that this museum was more focused on kids than a general public. However, if you have kids it is the best place to take them in Amsterdam.

A lovely place with so many fun things to do. Even with corona it was still very packed so during peak holiday times I feel you wouldnt be able to experience it fully as the waiting times on each attraction would be too long. But for me a highlight of my whole Amsterdam holiday

Interesting science museum for children and adults. At the end of the visit you can sit and relax, or eat and have some drinks and enjoy outside view from rooftop.

Great for kids and adults. Great exhibits and building. Could have more Corona distance in addition to very good ventilation.

An original rooftop space, nice view

As it gets for the rooftop you get a wonderful view and youll have a nice drink while enjoying it. Its really worth the 3.50€.

Great day out for kids and adults alike. Fun way to learn the science. And the roof top cafe is a jewel to the crown!

Lots to do. Lots to see.Live science demos are cool.The roof top features a few free things to check out and a great view of Amsterdam.You could spend the day here, but you dont have to! The admission allows re-entry. Go get lunch and come back later.It can be a bit busy as many families pack the place.Galleries and hands-on activities have explanations in Dutch and English.

Great views from the roof terrace and nice museum to go with children

An excellent place for both adults and children to enjoy for a whole day! Lots and lots of educational activities to do. Dont miss this place when you are in Amsterdam. NY children absolutely loved it and want to come back again!

Really great visit! So many things to try out! Its perfect for children but also really interesting for adults as well. I really recommend it to you, but beware that youd have to explain a lot to your children if they cant read or dont speak Dutch or English.the roof terrace is also really nice! you get in for free if you already are in the museum. It has an incredible view and quite tasty pizza and fries, but the food and drinks are quite expensive.

Awesome museum, had the chance to visit it during the Amsterdam museum night.I loved the information displaying in the bathroom which was placed right in front of your face while youre peeing.The museum itself is full of interesting facts and self experiments which you can try yourself and have some fun. Suitable for all ages, it has things that will entertain everyone.

Man was this place fun for people if all ages! Multiple levels, each one themed for the human body, space, mechanics/engineering, etc. Tons of engaging activities that will teach you something new or validate your primary schooling education. I used my Museumkaart to get in so unsure of the price of admission, but a lot of fun!At the top floor, theres all sorts of engaging activities to keep kids busy and a cafe to eat with a view of Amsterdam and the water!

I was there with my Girl friend we had a really fun experience top floor was the most interersting one. Nice Staffa and friendly vibes. I do recommend a visit !Sie note: book a visit where you have enough time 2h or more

Interesting place where we spent around 2.5 hrs inside. As an adult only half of the museum was attractive for us. The other 2 lower floors are more of activities for children where they can experiment lots of things! Anyhow, we enjoyed a lot here. Worth a visit.

Super Awesome museum with lots to discover and luckily everything is also in English

GO! Whatever you’re doing in Amsterdam, take a few hours and go to this museum. The staff is super knowledgeable, and you get to do so many activities that really show the fun in science!

Very informative and fun at the same time. Enjoy going with your friends, family, or even just by yourself.

Very good, interactive science and tech museum. Less crowded and noisy than previously. Good scientific experiments demonstrated too.

Funny, interesting, interactive. Science seems easy to understand there. I enjoyed it so much with the children

Wonderful place to go, especially with children. Theres a ton of stuff to see in the museum and lots of it is interactive. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and there was a lot to see and do. Also gives a great view of Amsterdam from the top, and the cafe is quite nice. Good place to spend an afternoon!

This place is a paradise for the scientifically curious. Grown ups and children alike. Youll certainly learn a few things by visiting this Museum. When you enter youll notice a lot of different stations in which you can interact with things explaining all sorts of scientific laws/rules/effects/etc. Awesome! Definitely worth your time. Btw... Take at least 2-3h of time with you. Otherwise youll have to rush through. Ill have to go again, since I didnt take that much time with me.

Best museum in amsterdam, for sure ! You can play with your kids, everything is really well done !

A big and new place filled with interesting stuff. Children love these and even adults will find it enjoyable and curious place. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Students also have a discount, which is great. And definitely go to the roof, the view from there is amazing.love their fountain and great atmosphere

Brilliant day out and liked the gel everywhere and the one way systemWas very well done with all Corona procedures

Great place. We visited twice highlights were (1) the BASF lab, with 5 cool experiments, (2) chain reaction machine (3) rooftop cafe with great view (4) human stuff floor, with all kinds of surveys and games. One tip though - dont do that screw elevator. I thought I would throw up.

Fantastic museum for kids and adults about science! we spent there 3 hours exploring all kind of natural phenomenon..

One of my happy places. Especially during nighttime events. I have been to a truly silly number of science centers and this is one of the best. Have fun with all the interactive exhibits and then relax on the rooftop Cafe and terrace (open to the public).

This is an excellent place for children. The first and second floors are one big interactive exhibit with loads of kids of all ages to do. Its not that cheap, but understandably so given the amount to see. The shows are good (quite a few are in Dutch only) and the outside roof garden is pretty cool. As an adult on my own I might be a bit disappointed, but with children its amazing.

So many experiments and things to do and learn! Five floors of fun! A must do especially if you have kids

The museum itself and the top view are amazing. You should definitely visit it :)

This is a nice place to come with the family. The museum is interactive and entertaining. The kids would love it. It is easy to access and there is a nice cafe/restaurant with cosy seating area. Lots of open space. Well worth a visit - there are other museums nearby so you could add this to your list of stops.

Well made interactive museum especially for kids. Can be skipped as an adult although some parts are definitely entertaining at any age ;) a highlight is the rooftop terrace for coffee with an amazing view

NEMO SCIENCE MUSEUM, Amazing fun and learn space for kids. Been a visitor but my son spent entire day working hands on and performing various experiments. There are 5 levels and each level has different things to offer. Kids will enjoy a lot. The 5th level has a good cafeteria, exit and deck overlooking the city canals and landmarks.

Absolutely loved it.. and the terrace is great!

Great hands on museum. After seeing everything and trying out all the different experiments, go to the roof and enjoy the great terrace.

The place is really great for kids. A whole museum full of fun and learning. Very educational for kids and adult too. It is also great that it is an interactive museum. Everybody experiences all the facts and theories. I just feel that there should be some people from the museum that looks after some place where kids just play around instead of learn.

A great place for kids (and even adults) if you want to learn about the world we live in. Lots of interactive things to do and shows to see. The rooftop cafe is also free to the public if you want a cracking view of Amsterdam.

Very nice and interactive science museum. Adults can have fun too but is clearly made for kids. Reccomended for families!

Great place for kids and adults to spend half a day (at least)

Really awesome museum! I would highly recommend to ANYONE! This is not only a childrens museum! Adults can enjoy this too. However, the cost in my opinion is way too high. 17.50!!!I think that the first level is the best, really interactive and fun. (You have make a giant balloon to stand inside of)I would also recommend going to the roof! Great views of the city!

Great science museum for all the family. Very good for young children. The cafeteria is also excellent. It is a shame we didnt have more time to explore it. The only negative is that its a rather long walk to get to the museum from the public transport hub, not ideal for my elderly mother.

Probably the coolest tourist attraction in a of Amsterdam, the NEMO Science Museum truly is a spectacular day out for both kids and adults. The whole museum is interactive, allowing you to feel like you are engaging with the new things you are learning about. Went with three other friends, all young adults, and had a blast.

Very cool museum specially for the kids. But also the adults cam have fun. You can interact with a lot of experiences and scientific games etc. Really creative and calling for the curiosity of everyone. On the top there is a terrace with a great view over the city.

I visited this place on a cold rainy day and did not come with children, hence not a 5. Overall, the walk involves some fun bridge walking over the canals. The museum itself is engaging and dies bring out the child. Also the shop has interesting and innovative gifts.

Almost everything is accessible. Great place!

Very nice museum especially for kids. There are so much activities to make them understand the bases of science. Only downside from my point of view is that like most museum in Amsterdam it is a bit too expensive.

Unique building. Stumbled on it while on a pub crawl. Very beautiful, adding something rather striking to the area.

I think that it is a place where children, and people of all ages should go to in order to learn, it is lively and informative. I also saw a TV set phones and appliances I used at home when I was younger.

Great and entertaining visit for both children and adults. Plan at least for 3h if you want to see everything.

Perfect place to understand how our world is working. Countless interactive experiments from various areas of science. Children will surely enjoy it.

What a nice science museum. The best part is that the entire roof is a wide open park with water features and flowers.

A very interesting interactive museum; you learn a lot about science; suitable for kids as well

The best place to go with kids. You can grab some ice cream for them in AH on the way to station after the museum. Enough to said- just go! Better not to choose Sunday as it is a bit overcrowded

What an amazing science centre to bring our three year old! We spent several hours here and each floor offered new and exciting things for her to explore. Highly recommend watching the chain reaction show (its in English and Dutch) and seemed to be on every hour, as well as visiting the back area on the main floor, where it is much less busy and quieter with some bubble and building activities. Only negative was that it was very crowded the day we visited (seemed to be during a school holiday). Also a great gift shop.

Great place for kids with lots of nice games, not really nice if you are a couple without kids ! We went in July 2020, there were direction marks on the floor for people to avoid crossing each other and there is a lot of washing product stations to disinfect your hands, but appart from that, all the kids were touching everything, no physical distances and no masks at all, and kids were running everywhere, complete nonsense in a time of a pandemic.

I didnt have any luck finding NEMO !! But I did find these two beauties

A very nice museum with a wonderful terrace, where you can have some food (salads, sandwiches) and drinks. Not very cheap, but it tastes pretty good.The view over the old town is quiet nice, but its not worth visiting just for this.Bathrooms were clean.

You will get a pretty nice view above the city, for completly free. check out the roof of that giant building! also there is the oppurtuniy to visit a pretty neat and apperrntly popular science musrum museum. but we didnt visit the museum

This place was absolutely amazing when I visited recently on holiday as we stopped off in Amsterdam for a day it was amazing I would highly recommend this especially if youve got young children however it suitable from really small to very very tall people and great day out for the whole family so much going on here to see and do and also lots of interesting and interactive exhibits and experiments going on you could easily spend a whole entire day here I only spent a couple of hours as I had lots to do while I was in Amsterdam but if you are here I would highly recommend grabbing yourself a bike popping along and go in and checking it out so much to do and it really is an amazing experience the water clock in the reception is also extremely interesting it was easy to find relatively reasonably priced the friendly staff all speak English as well as other languages I found it an absolute wonderful couple of hours visiting worth every single penny would highly highly recommend

Wow very good museum. For young to old...great

NEMO is a fantastic place - the building is world class architecture, the location impressive (by the water, a 10 min walk from Amsterdam Central Station), but most importantly: a great science exhibition. Almost everything in the museum is hands on, a very modern approach to teaching science. Kids love it.

We loved it, the kids loved it. This excellent museum (although activity centre) is probably a better description) is jam packed of all sorts for kids to explore and investigate. Its full of learning and activities to get stuck into. The museum provides lockers, spaces to eat, and a trip to the roof to take in the views over Amsterdam. Kept our 10yo and 7yo busy for 4hrs. No mean feat...

Great place for kids mind you as and adult me and my mate loved it. Specially when I touched the 4.6 billions year old meteorite that was something. Great place for families

This place is amazing is you have kids.We visited the terrace. It offers a great view to the city, spots to relax.There is a bar with a cozy sitting area.

Awesome museum. Very well done. Endless fun and learning for both kids and adults. Its for all ages, but especially fun for kids 6+ that understand a bit more and have a bit more of an attention span. It can get really busy on the weekends, so go there early. Its worth the cost.

NEMO Science Museum is a good place to bring your kind or to learn by yourself something new. You have to buy tickets but for children is free and if you are a student you have almost 50% discount. There are a lot of thing to do and to play with. It is also a restaurant (the prices are acceptable) and you have a Terrance from where you have a nice panorama to Amsterdam. The place is situated near to Maritime museum.

It was fun & informative for our kids, but the last floor was showing photos of fully-naked people!

Fun! Not just for kids (we went without!). Be aware during school times, especially Wednesdays, there are usually more kids inside because of school trips.Whole place is filled with experiments you can do yourself. Great for a fun date or for a rainy day in Amsterdam.We spend 2 hours here and were pretty satisfied. Seen almost all.Pro tip, the top floor (human exposition) is really fun, but we arrived there last and were kinda done with the experiments by that time. Would probably start there next time and would recommend people who love biology to do so as well.

Definitely should be in the list to visit with kids....lots of hands on science activities Could easily entertain then while day

Very nice for kids! Well, its also interesting for their parents to be honest :) you can easily spend there whole day without regrets. Toilets and food/drink corners on every floor. The top floor (fifth) is pretty much a food place which has much more options then other floors.You can pay with credit/debit card, use free lockers to leave your bags or just take them with you. You can exit and re-enter with your ticket which is great. All in all, nice place, especially if it rains outside :)

Great museum, with a lot of fun activities ! I Iearned a lot. Unfortunately masks aren’t wore by the staff, what a pitty during covid crisis...

Science museum aimed mostly for kids from early age... lots to see, hear and learn!

Nice set of scientific related devices: robots, gears, electricity, human body, etc. Must have!

Fantastic museum. Five floors of interactive fun for children as well as explanations of the application of science to the modern world.

Great view of Amsterdam. You can sit on the tilted roof deck for just 3.50€ which includes a drink too.

Awesome place, you can see a lot of funny and interesting things in there. Highly recommended.

The building is uniquely designed. The stuff are mainly for kids but still there are a lot of items which adults also can enjoy or learn something.We took the stairs from outside to get to the roof first and the view there is amazing. I suggest to go for this side if u want to also enjoy the beautiful views of Amsterdam. Of course you can buy also the ticket there and enter the museum. There is also a restaurant/cafe there which you can get something to it or drink.

Great for kids and grown-ups. Also restaurant is very good with spectacular view.

Great for every age! Lots to do, read and learn. For kids theres alot of interactive games for kids to do. There are also experiments you can watch or try out yourself in the lab. We had a great day.

Great for kids! There are chemistry experiments and chain reaction demonstration. I enjoyed it too, but maybe because I went with my nephew. Cafeteria up stairs is quite good. Not the cheapest, but it is expected. View is gorgeous though. I can imagine people love it in the summer.

Amazing place to visit for family and with the kids! Entertaining, educational and very interesting.

Great outdoor space with fun activities for kids and great views of Amsterdam. This bit was free and didnt need a ticket. Worth a look! Also special shout out to whoever designed the hilarious map at the panorama area

Even though its marketed towards children, theres loads fun and stuff to discover for all age groups. Strongly recommended if you like playing around with gimmicky machines.

Awesome museum! Best one I have been to with kids in NL. Lots of stuff to do and very interactive. Restaurant on the roof has great food and nice view of the city from there.

You will spend whole day here. Nice place, everthing you can touch and activate and there a cool playground at the top + bar. Nice way to finnish the day with good view on Amsterdam

One of the greatest museums I have been to. A perfect place to get your children acquainted with science in a very funny and interactive way. A lot of astonishing games and cool experiences are offered. There is useful information even in the toilets!

Some of the best views in whole Amsterdam! I love it!

We went only to the roof, in a hot day, it was fun to put our feet in the water, with a glass of beer

Am interesting combination. Lots for the kids to do. As with most interactive museums some of the exhibits are broken or functioning poorly. The lab was a lot of fun. Great for kids but a little wearing as the carer.

If you want to go back to a time when you were a kid this is a great place for that.Family time fun is guaranteed.

This place is amazing for kids. Also adults, too. You can try a lot experiments with funny. Enjoy it.

Really interesting and fun location, especially with kids. Plan around 2 hours to visit though, there are lots of cool things to see. Also, bring 5 cent coins for the coin machine. Really easy and cheap way to get souvenirs.
