CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The canal tour and National Maritime Museum package was a great deal! We started with the friendly Capatain of the Lover's Canal Boat tour and got some great information. Then there was a short walk to the Maritime Museum where the two highlights were the courtyard's glass ceiling and open concept and the exhibitions; the Amsterdam, a recreation of a Dutch East India Company ship was a real highlight!MMartin T
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5When we visited NEMO my none-technical wife thought it would be a trial. But we were there five full hours and we both loved it. We have heard criticism that it is targeted at children and some science is incorrect. Well the science seemed good to me and the simple clear illustrations were very helpful and some of the evolution schematics and evidence were fascinating to me as an engineering post-doc and both of us as Christians. And - there is nothing reprehensible in explanations being aimed at children. It is good to see them being engaged and excited. Well done.LLena B
FamilyVerified bookingYesterday5/5Visiting the museum really saved our rainy day in Amsterdam! My son said it was the best museum he had ever seen. The staff went out of their way to explain everything, the kids could touch and try out everything, and the exhibition is super well done! We easily could have spent the entire day there! Especially with kids, this museum is truly a must!AAndrej P
FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5The NEMO Museum is a fun and educational museum for children. Besides them, it's also a great way for adults to brush up on their knowledge. It is designed so that every floor has something new to do and learn. The museum covers everything from STEM fields to human biology. Highly recommended for visiting with children!GGreetje B
FamilyVerified booking5 days ago5/5I went with my grandson, and he really enjoyed it. Especially the activities he could actively participate in. From building a house together to the computer game about distributing popcorn, where he won the chair massage. And the AI challenge was also very educational and beautifully presented.
