The rooftop view was absolutely amazing! Worth the trip here just for it. The science center is mostly ideal for children but that doesn't stop the adults from learning a thing or two as well .

Baldwin Hopmans

Great place for kids .. 2.5 hours is very OK to spend here. if you want to see and touch all you will need a bit more, if you have question all people are very willing to help and explain

Bruno Passos

Interesting museum full of fun stuff for kids and adults . The roof terrace is free and offers an amazing view of Amsterdam and some more fun things for the kids to do. It also has a nice canteen

Ferdy van Berkel

An exciting family activity. In the museum they educate visitors about the wonders of science in the most fun way possible. Try to get to the rooftop terrace for a beautiful city view .

Vít Olšák

Rooftop terrace with breathtaking view on the city (for free!) and the museum is superb! Just stop in coffeeshop before and u can play all day here like a child! The lockers takes 50 cents.

RAKAN

Beautiful architecture design ✨ nice rooftop view 🔆

Andrei Cucoanes

Great for people who want to experience what they have been missing as kids. Iresistable for kids. :) A place every city should have.

Kristina Bojovic

Interactive and fun for kids and adults . We needed around 2h for the visit. Weather was 🥶 so we couldn’t go to the rooftop - but don’t miss it!

Ioanna A

Touch play touch try experience! A fun science museum , more like a kindergarten with experiments! Only for adults feeling kids! And kids of all ages! Take photos from the rooftop !

Art Dunaev

Awful, crazy place. If you would like to visit a school where teachers abandoned their job, where kids are screaming, yelling, crying - it's a perfect place for you. And minimum useful information...

Martin Assmann

Chill out on the roof top on warm summer days. Water cascading down several steps. Ideal to cool down. Great view on Amsterdam as well .

Marsh Mallow

Nice place for grown ups, but for smaller kids might not be that much interesting. There are 5 floors of exposition , but once you make it, you realize that you remember just a few of them.

Paige Hunter

Go up to the rooftop area on a sunny day for an amazing view and a nice sitting area.

Pontus Axelsson

Great family attraction . Be there when they open and stay over lunch , best enjoyed with the terrific view from the restaurant on the top floor.

Anna Mikhaylova

Super interactive and funny! You can try a lot of things and don’t get bored of any of them :))

Anne De J

Has changed throughout the years. Today it's more active minded, whereas I liked its former passive side as a museum .

Wendy Taunton

Great way to spend the day!! We started with lunch on the rooftop terrace and spent hours inside. There was something for everyone and our ages ranged from 12 - 48.

Christian D.

The roof top terrace is an amazing place in summer especially with children (also without) and there is no entrance fee to access the roof!

Ali Alromaih

Wonderful place for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended

Joffrey Lacour

Get on the top of the museum for a scenic view of Amsterdam and the harbor .

Fréderic Louis

Enjoy the view and the sun on the terrace on the roof. Totally free, and there is a bar , but only open during the opening hours of the museum .

Esra PRG

Best way to introduce your children with science. A fun and playful way to learn a lot of interesting stuff. Just as great for adults !

Stephen Crocker

The hands-on display on the roof is free and offers an excellent viewpoint over the city . Also doubles as a picnic area .

Dima Key

Amazing museum . You can lost here for hours even without kids )))

Nuha A

Fun science museum for kids below 12,especially the lab section, and the roof top is great to chill if the weather is gd

Hashim A.

One of the most amazing informative places for kids and even adults .

Mykolas Petrauskas

A very interactive museum - probably the only museum in Amsterdam which I saw full of smiling kid faces... Good for adults too!

Thomas Meijer

Really fun and informative science museum for kids . There is so much to do and to discover for them!

Great view over Amsterdam Oldtown. Free places to sit and chill , allowed to bring own food+drinks

Cristian Jimenez

The museum is more for children but you can admire a water clock at the entrance for free! 😀

Lily Kourentzi 💋

The place was great!!! 5 floors are full of many things to see !!!

Jorge Bronze

Good for kids . Currently the 1st is being renovated so you'll get a free ticket to come back later.

Ilya S

Whole exposition will become fascinating and filled with meaning of life if you swing by the smartshop beforehand. You'll ignore army of kids there too.

Meshal

Excellent place to spend few hours with your kids, suitable for all ages .. kids will really enjoy it

jahapaula aka Salla

The rooftop cafe and terrace with a superb view is the best thing for grown-ups!

Peter H

Kids can do many 'scientific' experiments at Nemo. For grown up people, Nemo misses some depth. So especially funny for kids under 14.

MaryAnn Johanson

Climb the outside stairs to the roof and get an amazing view of the city .

Dasha 👻 Shigaeva

A lot of fun stuff, but more suitable for kids of 7+ years, rather than adults . The terrace is great anyways
