Danielle C.October 29, 2014Get there before the museum opens, preferably at 8-8:30am, to avoid a horrendous line. A must-see attraction in Amsterdam. Takes about 2 hours not including wait time.

Ezryn ZarofDecember 30, 2017It was an interesting experience, but I do suggest to go at a time when there are less people. I did not enjoy feeling pressured to rush through each room.
cvvhNovember 22, 2016You won't be at the line more than 1 hour, and is worth to make it. House is small so don't take any back pack in.
Bayan AlShebelJuly 4, 2018Took the 30 minuets program and it was informative and lovely. The house was heart breaking 💔

W TApril 30, 2015Don't come during the weekend if you don't want to waste your time queueing. The queueing is happening outside and inside of the house. There is no limit on how many people can go in.
Joyce CdAugust 2, 2013Make sure you reserve a time-slot via website! No waiting lines. They also offer 'family programs' with guided tours for just a little extra

Russ KirkpatrickSeptember 16, 2014Short lines on Tuesdays, well worth taking the time to do this. Very educational, very heart-rending.
Bee WilliamsMarch 21, 2016Either buy your ticket months in advance or arrive very early and wait in line! Waited over an hour to get into the house. It's very interesting but there's not very much to see.
Andy HooperAugust 21, 2013Queuing up first thing in the morning is the best bet if you didn't pre-purchase tickets online. Arriving at 9 took us one hour in the queue.
Nick LimJuly 13, 2013To beat the queue, buy your tickets online at least a week ahead, and a month ahead if you want the introductory programme that costs more.
Francisca García YañezOctober 27, 2017Online online tickets to get here and no wifi to buy them in the place. You need to reserve first. Good thing it closes at 22:00
Roberta RabellottiApril 25, 2014It is absolutely needed to buy the tickets in advance for avoiding the incredibly long queues.

M G🌸May 15, 2016Very good, a must. Heavy atmosphere though, you can almost feel the fear and sadness
Domunix CelinyOctober 29, 2014The line will be long so prepare to join the flaky wifi. They security inside are quiet annoying about having the backpack on your frontside. Also disappointing that you don't go into the attic.
Bruno MourãoApril 8, 2016Impressive atmosphere, very impactful place. The natural silence of the visitors is a reflection of the terrible realities of the stories told inside.
Victoria RedshawApril 17, 2014Book online to avoid wasting time in Amsterdam by queuing. We walked in, having booked online. The chap said we'd save 2.5hrs waiting!
