Mike Tom , The staff are really friendly and welcoming. I use the audio self guide tour which was really good and informative a lot to see with paintings and models of ships and boats and fashion which I am very interested in also on the actual boat itself was a really good experience with the different floors and the 3-D animation Which takes you into and around the harbour and shows life as it was in the early years of Amsterdam a really good day out for the family kids will enjoy a lot to do for the kids paintings drawings not forgetting the restaurant once again very welcoming and friendly staff and reasonable prices The security staff were really helpful and friendly. A really good fun day out. Highly recommend:

The Chain Reaction on the 1st floor - a lot of engineering and aesthetic design went into creating the set. And the presenter was great, and it was obvious she herself enjoyed every minute of it. The rest of 1st floor, and all others, had that same combo of science and pleasure for the eyes and ears and fingers. Rooftop restaurant was nice with a great view, 4th floor (about us humans) had the right level of scientific depth and entertainment, we had little time for the 3rd floor, the labs on the 2nd - simple, hands on, exciting. Again, a lot of design thinking went into them (in college I had 5 different chemistry-related subjects).

    Me and my 2 daughters (aged 5 and 10) had a wonderful time! Some purely gleeful activities such as the bubbles and the hug roller, as well as some deep learning about space exploration!
