Hands-on science fun

If you are looking for a unique, interactive, and educational attraction that’s fun for the whole family, the NEMO Science Museum is where you want to go. The museum is an amazing attraction in the centre of Amsterdam which aims to educate visitors about the wonders of science in the most fun way possible.

You’ll learn things like how and why the wind blows, what makes a rainbow, how to whisper to someone standing 15 feet away, and blow bubbles big enough to stand in. With hands-on experiments you can have fun and learn at the same time.

Exhibitions & experiments

There are too many exhibitions to mention at the NEMO Science Museum, they offer an exciting way to learn about the history of science, and to experience and experiment with it first-hand. You can touch, play, and interact with hundreds of games designed to demonstrate how engineering, physics, chemistry and biology work.

The science centre includes a chemistry laboratory where children can perform experiments under supervision, a superb demonstration of chain reactions using a gigantic Rube Goldberg Machine, interactive and didactic physics games and much more!

The terrace on top of the building offers a superb view of the city, which is the perfect place for sitting down to relax and enjoying the sights after a tour through the museum. NEMO Science Museum is an unforgettable experience that’s fun for all ages!

Fun interactive exhibits for all ages

Our kids loved this museum and so did we as adults. It’s not particularly Dutch in that you can find good science museums all over but it was a wonderful way to break up other Dutch/Amsterdam museums that we visited with the kids. We spent three hours here with our two kids. There are loads of interactive exhibits. The restaurant is convenient as you have to go back across a large street into the neighbourhood to get to restaurants. It’s not inexpensive but the food was good.

Good, but likely aimed at 13 and under

This science museum is quite massive and spreads across 5 floors, with lots of things to do. My daughter typically enjoys these science museums and spends hours, but seems this one is aimed more to the younger generations (likely 13 and under).

Great interactive museum

Great interactive museum. Lots for the kids to learn about. There is a lab area where children can carry out experiments. There is a fab demonstration of a chain reaction using everything from footballs to rockets and office chairs. A nice restaurant in the top floor with lovely views over Amsterdam. You can easily spend half a day here.

Make science fun

The museum is awsome. My favorite part was the show at 12 o clock because they use so many things in the experiment. I also loved the lab when you can experiment on your own. It is proper for all ages and really shows that science is amazing.

Geweldig interactief museum voor alle leeftijden

Erg leuk interactief museum, genoeg vertier voor een (halve) dag! Onze 5-jarige zoon vond vooral de eerste twee verdiepingen geweldig, en de 'kettingreactie' was erg cool gedaan.

Diversión aprendiendo

Si se va a Amsterdam con niños este museo es una visita obligada. Situado en un enclave único, el edificio en sí y su terraza merecen verse. Por dentro todo interactivo y más o menos explicativo, con posibilidad de participar en experimentos. Muy recomendable.

Leuk actief museum

Wat een leuk actief museum. De jongste vond niet alles leuk, te jong begreep het nog niet, maar de oudste en de jongste hebben zich uitstekend vermaakt. Zijn nagenoeg de hele dag gebleven. In het restaurant ook goed kunnen lunchen. Voor oud en jong een uitstekend museum om actief te verblijven.

Interessante

Il museo è veramente bello e super interattivo. Adatto dai primi anni delle elementari in poi..... purtroppo è pieno di bambini di età prescolare che rendono il tutto molto confusionario. Bisogna armarsi di pazienza e gustarsi al massimo ogni step.
