Huge experiment and learning center close to the central station. It’s designed in the shape of a ship while the inside has about 3 floors with different sections.
It has some fun experiment for kids and adults equally. Kids were having fun time while there are also some very useful info on display.
It also houses a souvenir shop where there are some interesting items for sale.

Exploring the NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam with my daughter was an absolute delight! Each exhibit sparked her curiosity and left her in awe. From the interactive 'Wonderlab' to the hands-on 'Creative Lab,' every attraction was a hit. We especially loved the rooftop terrace, where we enjoyed stunning views of Amsterdam while engaging with the water exhibits. NEMO isn't just a museum; it's a playground for young minds! Our visit was filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable moments. As an adult, I was equally enthralled by the experience and would gladly return to explore every detail. Highly recommended for families looking for a fun and educational experience in Amsterdam!
This is a great museum for all ages but definitely a great spot for the younger kids. Lots of fun experiments and hands on activities as well as live demonstration and even a kid laboratory!
We visited the Nemo Science Museum in Amsterdam with our young family and had a great time. The museum is very interactive and engaging, with lots of hands-on exhibits and experiments to explore. Our kids loved the different play area, the giant bubbles, the chain reactions, and the science lab. There was something for everyone, from toddlers to teens.
The museum was quite busy, especially on a rainy day, but we didn't have to wait too long for most of the activities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. The only downside was that some of the exhibits could use more explanatory information, preferably not via text, as it was hard to read and understand for younger children and non-native speakers. We would have liked to see more videos, audio guides, or demonstrations to explain the science behind the fun.
Parking was close by, about 500m walk from the museum, but pricey. We spent about 4 hours at the museum. We recommend the Nemo Science Museum for anyone looking for a fun and educational day out in Amsterdam. It's a 4-star attraction for sure!

This is a huge museum filled with interactive science stations, games, everything you can think of. It's suitable for both adults and kids, BUT since it's super kids friendly, the place is totally overcrowded. There's an awsome roof terrace overlooking the whole harbour and the city, perfect for panoramic shots.
Awesome museum for all. We came during holiday so it was packed. My kids had a blast and so did us adults. It was a bit cold to be sitting outside on the top terrace area but the view from up top was beautiful. Highly recommend this museum.
Very nice place!! Specially for kids older than 7 years or so. Loved the Lab place a lot. Lot of interesting science aspects which you are ALLOWED to touch and tinker with !!! Transportation is very nice. Car parking is available nearby across the bridge!! Can easily take the whole day. For people interested to do more can easily roam around nearby places. Sea Palace restaurant is like 8 mins walk..
A very nice and fun day out with family!!!

Amazing experience with kids. A bit too overcrowded to my taste but a lot to see and try for the kids. Experimentation and natural science. I recommend to visit with 4-5 yo and older. For smaller ones it will be more of a sensory experience than anything else
Surprisingly good, with lots of hands on activities for kids and decent explanations about what you should do. Cleaely separated areas per themes, with a coffee/restaurant on top. The gift shop was full of gimmicky gadgets, quite interesting to get something non-standard as a present
This place is incredible! Great for a family activity, many interactive exhibits and fun for people if every age! We bought tickets in advance and waited less than 5 minutes to get in. Definitely worth a visit!!
This is an amazing science museum and is currently my all time favorite. There are about 4 floors of exhibits and a cafe on the fifth that leads to the roof. The roof is open to the public and you do not need a ticket to access it, though it is only open during museum hours. This is a busy museum, if you arrive mid-day expect there to be a lot of action while people are learning through each of the exhibits. This is great for all ages though most of the exhibits I would recommend for people 7+ as there are larger concepts and lots of information available for each exhibit.
It's a kid friendly museum. It's very entertaining for kids and adults too if you're interested in science. The rooftop is a must-see. Great for relaxing after hours of playing around . You can grab coffee, and snacks. The view is awesome.
Fun place for kids and adults. Lots of activities for kids. Need a minimum of 3-4 hours to explore the whole museum. Loved the science lab. Lots of food options. Restroom on each floor. Rooftop restaurant is great. Easily accessible. Definitely worth a visit.
If you visit Amsterdam with your kids, you should not miss visiting the Nemo Science Museum.
The museum is a large, five-floor building, beautifully designed in a very beautiful area of Amsterdam. The museum is located in an area considered commercial and great for walking and picnicking.
Visiting the museum in the morning will enrich your children's experience, as the museum contains on each of its floors a different experience, from human sciences to mechanical sciences to energy and space. All experiences are available to children by touching, listening, and watching, where children and adults can also enjoy an unforgettable experience.
The museum also contains live experiences in its center. When you visit the museum, please try to ask about the date of the live events to watch them with your children. We had a wonderful experience by watching a live show on how to generate energy. It was wonderful, suitable for all ages, and amazing for the little ones.
Just so you know, if you are going to visit the museum, please try to coordinate the visit through the hotel to make sure that the visit is available. It is also preferable to reach the museum by public transport or by walking because access by car is very difficult and there are no nearby parking spaces, in addition to the difficulty of the nearby roads and transportation to the museum by car.
Many thanks to the museum team for an enjoyable visit.
I wish you a nice visit.
