    NEMO is great for young kids - we found it fun to explore and if we lived there would probably go often. There were crowds however, and we didn't spend as much time as we had expected as most of the levels weren't as interesting for our 4yo & 6yo. Having to download the app at the ticketing desk was annoying - why couldn't the tickets be simply attached to the email like everyone else does it?

    It was a bit boring with kids aged 14 and 18. Think it is better for families with smaller kids. Some of the things would have made more sende, if the staff walked around and helped with the experiments.
