bianca was the best!!!! she’s was so friendly and also very pretty. We were overwhelmed by her kindness. we will definitely come again if she’s there ❤️❤️
This was our first activity when we arrived in Amsterdam. So in all fairness we were buzzing to go. This place didn't disappoint. I had pre booked tickets before I left the UK, so it was just a case of scanning my phone. There is so much to see and do here with quite a bit of interaction too. I was with my 12 year old grandson and he thought it was great. I was just surprised how many different floors there are! Everything is so well laid out, so even when its busy its easy to view all the exhibits. Highly recommend this place....even more so if its a wet miserable day
We absolutely adored our time here and spent a very lengthy amount of time wandering around. You can really take it at your own pace and we actually learned loads about lots of different topics. The pictures we took here are really fond memories actually and it's an incredibly interactive exhibit with a lovely cafe at the top to relax afterwards. We would 100% recommend this place to anyone visiting Amsterdam - it was truly one of our highlights!
We throughly enjoyed riplleys amsterdam, wasn't overpriced for the area we went mid morning and it wasn't busy at all which have us a good chance to look at all the exhibits, there's is also a cafe on the top level and prices looked reasonable.
Was a last minute booking due to the weather! Expensive but glad we booked. Kids absolutely loved it! So much to see and do. Some of the exhibits weren’t working so that does need addressed and the girl at the beginning wasn’t the friendliest. However I would go back again.
We were surprised at how much there was! It just kept going and every floor was full of amazing things! Lots of interactive things to do! Great for all ages!
This was very worthwhile. We enjoyed every floor interactions/viewing and reading all the facts.. we loved this tour. No queue went straight in
Good value for money, spent about an hour and a half in there with lots of different things to do, interactive and many things to see!
Went here as we had a couple of hours to spare. So glad we did, the exhibits are amazing in fact some are jaw dropping, couple of inter-actives didn’t work but that didn’t spoil the fun. Really interesting place and could easily spend more time there. Great gift shop too
I was pleasantly surprised at the array of curiosities on display! There were lots of floors to explore which was a surprise. My favourite one was the spinning light show tunnel 😵💫 would recommend for all ages, as there is something there for everyone.
Probably the best thing that I done whilst in Amsterdam. Booked tickets online to beat the queues and went first thing before it got busy. I think all together we spent about three hours looking around all the attractions and exhibits. Well worth the money and would highly recommend visiting
Great fun and interesting facts and information. The whole experience was engaging and fun for all ages.
Absolutely amazing museum! Full of so many random facts and artifacts that are genuinely interesting!!! We spent HOURS in this place... First time I've ever been to a museum and looked at literally everything. Highly recommend if you're in Amsterdam for a few days and want to do something different! Only downfall is there sheer amount of stairs, but that's Amsererdam for you.
Always wanted to go stand next to the statue of Robert Pershing Wadlow wow what a tall man he was !! Definitely worth a visit to learn about all the fun facts.
Fascinating facts and LOADS of information. Would highly recommend it as a Day activity, or to do as a family friendly activity. Could definitely spend 2-3 hours in here. Glad we visited 😊
An extensive look into weird and wonderful (and wholly unusual) artefacts that brings you through multiple floors and exhibitions that is just about worth the admission price. Seeing each exhibition can easily take up 3+ hours so the price is worth it in this respect, and the museum is pretty centrally located so you can almost stumble across it. A highlight for us is the spinning space tunnel, the red pin impression wall, as well as the African jungle section near the beginning.
Het lijkt een klein museum De inhoud zal je verbazen Zeer de moeite waard Veel zaken waar je van denkt Echt? Wij hebben ons er zeer vermaakt
Toevallig in het museum tere h gekomen plezant museum met echt leuke en fijne weetjes je kan zelf bepalen wat je gelooft en Jef zijn opdrachten om te doen heel interessant
Leuk “ museum”, veel groter dan verwacht want is vier verdiepingen met “ rariteiten” en wetenswaardigheden. Al met al amusant, interessant, leerzaam, grappig, spannend enz. Ook leuk voor jongere kinderen mits ze zelf goed kunnen lezen want overal hangen bordjes met achtergrond informatie over het item. Ben wel twee uur binnen geweest en toen nog niet alles gezien. Tickets via “ vakantie veilingen” scheelt een stuk !!
Wat een leuk museum! Vol met onverwachte maar verrassend interessante weetjes. Zodra je het weet voelt het alsof je het altijd al had willen weten.Thuis gelijk gezocht naar Liu Ch’ung, de man met 4 ogen, Pupula duplex. Een echte overload aan van alles maar ik hou daar wel van en onze dochter van 4.5 jaar ook. Start je bij de langste man die ooit heeft geleefd, probeer je op een ander moment een kristal te pakken of een poort te openen, sta je weer een ander moment naar de kaak van een megalodon te kijken. Die afwisselingen zijn leuk, je verveelt je er niet snel! Je vraagt je werkelijk af of alles nu echt is of niet, zoals bij de parel van Mary queen of Scots. Heel leuk die diversiteit. Let wel: niet alles is geschikt voor jonge kinderen. Groot favoriet bij ons allen was, hoe kan het ook anders, de tunnel. Onze dochter vond dat helemaal geweldig. Op de bovenste verdieping is er een eetgelegenheid. Toen wij er waren was er weinig keus maar we hadden er wel een mooi uitzicht op de Dam. Omdat niet alle interactieve spellen werkten vier sterren, anders zeker 5.
Hyper impressionnant c’était ludique toutes les informations étaient intéressantes et farfelues. C’est une expérience hors du commun, autant visuellement qu’intellectuellement.
het is de prijs zeker waard. we hadden 1,5u gespendeerd in dit museum. het was leuk, interessant en leerzaam.
Leuk en leerzaam om naar toe te gaan. 4 verdiepingen waarvan 3 verdiepingen over ripley gaat. 4de is een restaurant. Niet verwacht dat het leuk zou zijn met zoveel verdiepingen.
Believe it or not - det kan man säga! Ett museum av roliga och intressanta saker, allt ifrån en avbildning av världens längsta man och tavlor gjorda av jelly beans. Rekommenderas om man inte tycker om vanliga museum.
El museo está divertido, es curioso y es más grande de lo que podrías pensar. Hay tres tipos de tickets en la entrada: bronze, silver, gold. El primero te da acceso a todo el museo. El segundo te da, además, la oportunidad de echar una partida de realidad virtual (Oculus Rift) en una máquina de la cafetería. Es una maravilla. El tercero, incluye además de todo lo anterior una bebida gratis en la cafetería (ojo, esta bebida gratis es sólo una triste gaseosa de tres sabores diferentes, si quieres una coca cola, deberás apoquinar). Lo bueno quizás de este ticket gold es que incluye un paseo en barco por los canales en el muelle "Lover's boat". No sé si será la mejor compañía, pero salía unos euros más barato que comprarlo en el muelle (lo que me ahorré al final me los gasté en la coca cola). Así que recomiendo el ticket silver. Los letreros están en inglés, hay cosas curiosas, colores y cada sala está decorada de manera diferente. Nos gustó mucho el túnel psicodélico. Hay que ver la de cacharros que recopiló este hombre durante su vida. Yo sí lo recomiendo, está curioso si tienes un espíritu curioso y juvenil. Me encantó la mini partida de realidad virtual con el oculus rift, lo dicho, aunque hay que avisar al personal para que te lo enciendan. La cafetería está muy bien decorada, como todo el museo, hasta el servicio es original.
Även om priset på dagen är lite dyrt tyckte jag, 21€ så får man mycket för pengarna. Det är mycket att se och ovanliga saker. Krympta huvuden, fd tortyrredskap osv. Lärorikt. Inte så mycket folk. Rekommenderas
Detta var något för alla åldrar. Vi uppskattade utställningen och tycker att det framför allt var kul. Dock var det rätt så dyrt ”21 Euro”. Men med tanke på att utställningen sträckte sig på 3 plan var det helt okej. Jag rekommenderar att besöka denna utställning med barn från 7 år då mycket av det som fanns för för de lite äldre åldrarna ca 15+.
Det er et meget sjovt og anderledes museum, som især børn og unge vil finde underholdende. Der er god variation i det udstillede og gør attraktionen mere afvekslende end f.eks. Madame Tussauds. Vi nåede ikke at prøve 5D biografen. Maden i den lille cafe (på øverste etage) er meget billig og kan fint anbefales.
