Mike EstesDecember 16, 2016Awesome, very emotional. Hard to believe what the world was like only 70 years ago. But ticket online like I did.
Clément MaignantJanuary 20, 2015Outstanding journey in the History but long waiting queue to access.
Greg AvolaSeptember 23, 2013Simply amazingly. Takes about an hour to walk through the museum and another hour to wait through the line.
Richard RevillaDecember 30, 2014Amazing and moving. It will forever change your life in understanding the sacrifices made during WWII.
- Doriane PeAugust 16, 2013Try to buy your ticket online or visit the house after 8pm ! There should be a little bit less people in the line.
Dila SipahiJuly 15, 2016It is a dramatic and real story, naturally so impressive museum. After I left there, I was upset for several days...
A CApril 1, 2014The home of Anne Frank. If you can go during the week day, you can avoid the large lineups.
Eduardo CamposSeptember 9, 2013Very impressive and strongly recommend to visit, however, its not a attraction to bring kids due to its heavy vibe.
Rosalie WeytenJuly 19, 2012Definitely worth the money and the wait. Very fascinating and touching visit. Everybody should see this!
Jónatan ProsperoJune 29, 2013One of the most memorable experiences of my life. Skip the line and buy tickets with a group.
Patricia FranklinSeptember 15, 2014Really well organised and kept well. Had free wifi when you're waiting out in the queue.
Jamie MoreelsSeptember 4, 2014Must do, when you're in amsterdam! Even if you need to wait 45 minutes!
Michael LautersteinSeptember 6, 2012Grab a brochure and read through it. The brochure covers basically all you are going to read inside without needing to queue and shuffle along the somewhat boring museum.
Jackson TsaiSeptember 8, 2014Words can not describe if you have read her book and physically visit the museum
Thetis TAugust 8, 2016Moving history and an opportunity for everyone to learn a bit more about this shameful time in Europe
Vincent TangApril 27, 2013Really interesting but the line is really long. Make sure to buy tickets online in advance!
Amna ObFebruary 26, 2016Not to be missed! Had to look up the BBC mini series to see Anne Frank's diary comes to life.
John AndersonNovember 9, 2018Very moving and emotional place to visit. Take your time and take it all in.
Miles FawcettJuly 20, 2017Especially good for kids who have or will read her diary. Really brings it to life
Dustin LeeSeptember 16, 2017Make sure to get your ticket online early. Otherwise it's between trying your luck at getting it online last minute, or waiting for hours - which is not worth.
Rafael MarinMarch 30, 2014Is had a moving experience in this place. It's not easy to be empathetic with what this family went through, due to the amount of tourists and noise, but I was grateful this place still existed.
TioOctober 21, 2012Come early in the morning to avoid the long queue, free wifi, use museum card for free entrance
JeniaAugust 17, 2013Get your tickets online in advance and skip the ridiculous queue! We were late, and they still let us in.
Michelle D.March 2, 2015Come before 10 a.m. on a weekday with your Museumkaart to get in without waiting hours.
Chris MetzkerJuly 17, 2012A must see, definately worth standing in line for at least 30 minutes...check Homepage for Tickets in advance..
Astrid CurrieNovember 4, 2013Make a reservation in advance through the internet for a specific date and time and avoid the ling waitinglines.
Samuel MingoOctober 19, 2015Either buy your tickets (weeks/months in advance) or show up 30 mins prior to opening in order to avoid a 2+ hour wait.
Phil NomJune 13, 2016Prepare yourself for really steep stairs! Come at 8pm if you didn't book online.
MercDecember 28, 2011The most beautiful, moving museum/memorial I have ever been to. The original wallpaper and photos affixed on the wall is heartbreaking.
BülentAugust 20, 2012You should read her before your visit...Come early morning before 9 oclock and without luggage or backpack. They have free wi-fi.
anamaria neiraApril 20, 2013Awesome place! Also with a terrible story. Here u Can imaging how was anas situation During the war
Jack JenkinsAugust 19, 2013You need to pre-book online, otherwise the queue will inevitably be two hours long in the summer, even if you arrive at say 10.30am.
izi.TRAVELMarch 31, 2014With her family and a small group of Jews Anne Frank hid in the attic of this house for two years while the Nazi invaders arrested and deported Amsterdam’s Jewish population. Read more
Meghann BarberDecember 14, 2014So moving. It's powerful to realize she and her family lived in the hidden back area for so long.
DJ FriendMay 28, 2013No cameras allowed inside. Stairs are steep which may be trouble for elderly. Bottlenecking in some rooms due to video presentations, but overall still worth a visit.
RachaelAugust 24, 2012Go right when it opens, line gets really long really fast, but a must see, really worth it!
Asmina ✨August 29, 2012It's highly recommended to go as early as possible or go later in the afternoon. The queue is already very long at 11 am! + there is NO student reduction :(
Line DavansoSeptember 23, 2012Ammazing experience , I wont forget , because I love the book and the history !! You must read the book
Make sure to keep yourself entertained by counting pigeons while you're in the long-ass queue outdoors.
