We really enjoyed the museum with my 8-year-old daughter, who loves all things science, especially space. We spent about three hours there and could easily have stayed even longer! There was so much to see and learn, and the exhibits were interesting even for adults. We ended the day with a cruise, which was a lovely way to relax and take in the city from a different perspective. A wonderful experience overall!

Save up to 15% with this combo to get fast-track entry to NEMO Science Museum and go on a scenic 1-hour Amsterdam canal cruise.

It's great. The only thing is the Canal Cruise tour where it wasn't clear which company is the provider of the tour, there are 100s of companies in Amsterdam. We had to walk around and ask many companies and even the museum staff didn't know which one exactly.

Kids loved the musuem - and me too. Cruise was also nice and interesting. A good combo, to relax on the boat after hours off experimenting and walking around.
