It was a lovely visit; we had a wonderful time with our children. It was like going back about 25 years to relive the best moments of AJAX.

An amazing experience! 5☆ It was a birthday gift for my 14-year-old son, who’s an Ajax fan.🥳 Warm welcome at the reception desk, a sign listing VIP guests, an Ajax scarf, and a friendly tour guide. We got to see every part of the stadium, enjoyed non-alcoholic drinks in the VIP lounge, and chatted about the history of this magnificent building. With the VIP ticket, you get a 10% discount at the Ajax store. Highly recommended!👌
