Kelly K.July 12, 2016The 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 HopmansApril 21, 2017Great 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 PassosSeptember 23, 2013Interesting 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 canteenUpvoted Jan 4
Ferdy van BerkelAugust 23, 2018An 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 OlšákAugust 3, 2013Rooftop 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.
Andrei CucoanesAugust 18, 2015Great for people who want to experience what they have been missing as kids. Iresistable for kids. :) A place every city should have.
- Ioanna ADecember 3, 2013Touch 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!
Kristina BojovicFebruary 18, 2023Interactive 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!
Art DunaevAugust 11, 2016Awful, 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 AssmannSeptember 6, 2015Chill 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 MallowSeptember 23, 2015Nice 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 HunterFebruary 18, 2019Go up to the rooftop area on a sunny day for an amazing view and a nice sitting area.
Pontus AxelssonFebruary 27, 2016Great 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 MikhaylovaMarch 10, 2018Super interactive and funny! You can try a lot of things and don’t get bored of any of them :))
Anne De JMay 27, 2016Has changed throughout the years. Today it's more active minded, whereas I liked its former passive side as a museum.
Wendy TauntonJuly 3, 2014Great 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.August 31, 2016The roof top terrace is an amazing place in summer especially with children (also without) and there is no entrance fee to access the roof!
Joffrey LacourSeptember 24, 2016Get on the top of the museum for a scenic view of Amsterdam and the harbor.
Fréderic LouisApril 30, 2012Enjoy 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 PRGSeptember 5, 2014Best 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 CrockerApril 29, 2016The hands-on display on the roof is free and offers an excellent viewpoint over the city. Also doubles as a picnic area.
Nuha AJune 11, 2015Fun science museum for kids below 12,especially the lab section, and the roof top is great to chill if the weather is gd
Mykolas PetrauskasAugust 17, 2015A very interactive museum - probably the only museum in Amsterdam which I saw full of smiling kid faces... Good for adults too!
Thomas MeijerSeptember 2, 2015Really fun and informative science museum for kids. There is so much to do and to discover for them!
VolkerSeptember 15, 2017Great view over Amsterdam Oldtown. Free places to sit and chill, allowed to bring own food+drinks
Cristian JimenezNovember 20, 2019The museum is more for children but you can admire a water clock at the entrance for free! 😀
Jorge BronzeSeptember 2, 2015Good for kids. Currently the 1st is being renovated so you'll get a free ticket to come back later.
Ilya SOctober 28, 2013Whole 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.- MeshalJune 18, 2015Excellent place to spend few hours with your kids, suitable for all ages .. kids will really enjoy it
jahapaula aka SallaDecember 31, 2016The rooftop cafe and terrace with a superb view is the best thing for grown-ups!
Peter HDecember 30, 2016Kids can do many 'scientific' experiments at Nemo. For grown up people, Nemo misses some depth. So especially funny for kids under 14.
MaryAnn JohansonDecember 3, 2013Climb the outside stairs to the roof and get an amazing view of the city.
Dasha 👻 ShigaevaOctober 20, 2014A lot of fun stuff, but more suitable for kids of 7+ years, rather than adults. The terrace is great anyways

Helen ZhangJune 6, 2017Rooftop is free to access without museum tickets, in summer is open past 5:30pm even after museum is closed
Mashunia PotapenkoMay 13, 2016For adults not so awesome as for children. You don't need all day for this museum, 4 hours is more than enough- OlinMay 16, 2015An amazing, informative and interactive experience for children! Must visit for families.
Nikita DNK PavlovJanuary 8, 2015Wonderful place with a lot of things to do and to see. And yes, there is a whole floor about sex.
Melinda KAugust 23, 2016The roof terrace is simply amazing!! Also try the food they offer inside, it's delicious!
Mar DixonMay 18, 2013Go and explore - could have stayed ALL day if I had the time. Family fun or just go by yourself!
Jack DewinterJuly 9, 2015Check out the roof! It's free, a great place to sit and relax and get a beautiful view of Amsterdam.
