When 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.

Visiting 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!

The 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!

I 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.

It was my fault that I booked the wrong week to attend and purchase tickets, (1 week later) but the lack of flexibility in changing the date when it made NO difference to the venue or Headout was disappointing. Headout did credit me with a partial refund but the cost to pay for another 3 tickets was unfair. Both NEMO and Headout blamed the other for the inability to make the change.
