The building looks amazing. Very easily accessible and the staff is very friendly and helpful. A lot of artwork to see an everything is divided into logical sections according to different periods and origins of art.

Me and my 2 daughters (aged 5 and 10) had a wonderful time! Some purely gleeful activities such as the bubbles and the hug roller, as well as some deep learning about space exploration!

Mike Tom , The staff are really friendly and welcoming. I use the audio self guide tour which was really good and informative a lot to see with paintings and models of ships and boats and fashion which I am very interested in also on the actual boat itself was a really good experience with the different floors and the 3-D animation Which takes you into and around the harbour and shows life as it was in the early years of Amsterdam a really good day out for the family kids will enjoy a lot to do for the kids paintings drawings not forgetting the restaurant once again very welcoming and friendly staff and reasonable prices The security staff were really helpful and friendly. A really good fun day out. Highly recommend:

I've bought the one day use (24h) ticket for the public transportation in Amsterdam and was really worth it! It works in the whole city, you will receive a QR code, put it in your wallet and just enjoy the city!!!
