Discovering the Nemo Science Museum was an amazing experience; it’s a unique exhibition full of scientific and hands-on elements. The workshop was fantastic.

This was an impromptu visit and easy to book online. Visited with an 11 year old and he had a great time. Stand out moments were playing on the vintage video games and also the other interactive areas, some of which required a fair amount of physical effort! 4* instead of 5 due to the price of tickets for the museum.

A great discovery that exceeded all our expectations! We originally planned to just visit the Rainbow Viewpoint, but the NEMO Museum surprised us in an incredible way. We were really impressed by the variety of its spaces, the layout of its different rooms, and especially the floors dedicated to drawing, which we found fascinating. Our daughter had a blast exploring every nook and cranny; it was a super fun and educational experience to enjoy as a family. What started out as a short, planned visit turned into an unforgettable day. We’ll definitely be back. We highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

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!

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.

Get fast-track entry to five floors of NEMO Science Museum, the city’s largest science center, with hands-on exhibits, experiments, and interactive science.

Dive into hundreds of interactive displays exploring physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology, including an aging machine.

We really appreciated the variety of activities and had a lot of fun with our kids. They didn't want to leave the museum! We thought we would only stay for a short while, but in the end, we stayed until closing time.

Nemo is the best thing for kids, and even we as adults enjoyed ourselves. Canal cruse is OK, another perspective on Amsterdam.

I visited Nemo on August 27, 2026. It's a really beautiful place with lots to do (you'd need quite a few hours to see it all properly). The problem is the crowds. I suggest going when it’s less crowded (the website recommends the afternoon). I also suggest seeing everything—it has four floors, and the top ones are really beautiful.
