These months see fewer tourists, allowing you to explore the exhibits with more ease and quality time. For a livelier atmosphere and the opportunity to interact with fellow science enthusiasts, the summer months of June, July, and August tend to be busier due to school holidays and vacation periods. The best time to visit NEMO Science Museum is either as soon as it opens at 10 am or later in the evening to avoid crowds. 
  • Weekend Vs Weekday: NEMO Science Museum is open daily from mid-morning until early evening every day except for major Dutch holidays and occasional Mondays outside of the peak summer season. However, school holidays, weekends, and rainy days are the busiest times at the museum. So it is recommended to visit on weekdays to avoid crowds.
