Standard vs combi ticket: which to choose?

A standard ticket grants access to all pre-shows, the 9‑minute 5D flight, and the terrace for a compact 45–75 minute visit. Combi tickets add partner attractions like Madame Tussauds or Amsterdam Dungeon, saving checkout time and often money. This upgrade is ideal if you plan to explore multiple nearby experiences in one trip.

The flying experience was better than I expected but the previous 2 sessions in the tour were not ideal. I booked the ticket t9 have the sessions in English but the lovely lady in the show was speaking Dutch and the the English subtitles were at the bottom of that huge screen. So it was either to look at the screen or to read subtitles.

What to expect at This Is Holland

1/5

Step into the lobby

Enter a circular, modern lobby just across the IJ. Here, you’re greeted by the soft glow of digital displays and a themed photo point that primes you for an immersive Dutch journey.

Experience engaging pre-shows

Watch two brief theaters unveil Holland’s water-management history and cultural highlights. Subtitled narration and dynamic visuals prepare you for the 5D flight simulation ahead.

Strap in for 5D flight

Take your seat in a suspended cabin beneath a 52-foot domed screen. In a 9-minute simulation, feel wind, mist, and subtle scents as you soar over canal-lined cities, windmills, and tulip fields.

Soak in real Dutch landscapes

The flight vividly replicates iconic scenes, from Kinderdijk windmills to the Delta Works. Every effect synchronizes to heighten your sense of real flight and discovery.

Unwind in the Holland Lounge

After the flight, step into a relaxed post-show lounge featuring interactive maps and exhibits. This final touch rounds out an immersive 1-hour experience that leaves you with a fresh perspective on Holland.

Advance online booking often offers lower prices; walk-ins are not guaranteed once capacity is reached.

Entry & access

Entry is timed: you must check in at the main lobby, where your ticket barcode is scanned.
Arriving about 15 minutes before your allotted slot helps smooth your transition into the two pre-shows and flight.
Even with a reserved time, a brief wait at the entrance and before boarding is common.

The immersive flight engages your senses with scenic visuals, wind, mist, and scent effects as you soar over iconic Dutch landmarks.
Free rescheduling is available if your plans change.

Ways to experience

This is Holland is a self-guided, fixed-flow attraction that lasts about one hour from start to finish.
Enjoy the structured journey—from informative pre-shows to the 5D flying theatre—that offers a quick yet comprehensive Dutch overview.
Many visitors find that the flight feels remarkably realistic, delivering a cinematic “soaring” experience.

Add-on and interactive areas

Separate combo tickets can add nearby attractions (such as NEMO Science Museum or A’DAM Lookout) if you have extra time and interest.
A dedicated photo point in the Holland Lounge offers official souvenir photos available for purchase.
Note that add-ons are not included in the standard ticket and require a separate booking.

Top areas to explore at THIS IS HOLLAND

1/5

Entry & orientation lobby

As you step inside, you enter a spacious lobby with clear signage and a designated check-in area. Informative panels and a photo station set the stage for the immersive journey ahead, highlighting Dutch water heritage in a welcoming and calm environment.

Water reclamation pre-show

In this intimate theater, dynamic visuals and clear audio explain the Netherlands’ battle against the sea. Digital displays illustrate how dikes, polders, and windmills reclaimed land, while subdued lighting focuses your attention on the nation’s innovative flood defense methods.

Illuminated map pre-show

A large, softly lit map of the Netherlands anchors this area. Animated lights trace the country’s iconic landmarks, from tulip fields to traditional windmills, while subtle narration provides context. The space offers a visual overview that connects national history with familiar Dutch landscapes.

The 5D Flight theater

Sit in a motion-equipped seat under a 52-foot dome and experience a 9-minute flight simulation. High-definition visuals glide over canals, windmills, and countryside. Wind, mist, and scent effects enhance the lifelike journey, creating a truly multi-sensory flight through Dutch highlights.

The Holland Lounge

After the flight, unwind in the Holland Lounge. Informative displays and digital screens offer detailed insights into the landmarks you just experienced. Comfortable seating and gentle lighting encourage reflection and discussion, letting you digest the immersive tour at a relaxed pace.

Intensity & suitability guide

Visual intensity: High. The 5D flight uses a 52-foot domed screen that rapidly shifts between panoramic views of Dutch landmarks like tulip fields, canals, and windmills. This vivid visual stimulation may feel overwhelming if you’re sensitive to intense light or rapid color changes.
Sound & vibration: High. The experience pairs cinematic sound effects with synchronized vibrations and controlled ambient noise to simulate the sensation of flying. These elements are purposefully dynamic and can be loud.
Motion & physical effects: High. The suspended, motion-capable seat provides realistic dips and turns, enhanced by wind, mist, and subtle scent effects. If you are prone to motion sickness or discomfort with movement, consider this intensity before booking.
Pacing & autonomy: The show follows a fixed, timed sequence. Pre-shows, the 9-minute flight, and a post-show lounge are structured with little opportunity to control your pace.
Age & supervision: Suitable for visitors aged 4 and older. Children must meet height requirements and sit with an accompanying adult. Younger kids or those sensitive to motion may need extra supervision.
Accessibility & comfort: The building is wheelchair accessible, though riders must transfer into the moving seat. Limited seating is provided during transitions.
Sensory sensitivities: Due to its high stimulus effects, this experience may not be ideal for individuals with photosensitive epilepsy or severe sensory processing sensitivities.

Tips & guidelines

Aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled slot. Late arrivals may be grouped into the next session, which can shorten your viewing time.
Note that the museum follows a one-way flow through its themed rooms. Once you pass through a section, backtracking is not possible, so plan your pace accordingly.
For the best viewing experience during the flight simulation, choose a seat toward the centre. This position minimises distortion and optimises your field of vision.
Photography is only allowed at designated spots outside the simulation area. Avoid using flash to maintain projection quality.
The flight and sensory effects (lights, sound, motion) are intense. If you’re prone to motion sickness or vertigo, consider sitting closer to the front or preparing accordingly.
The scent effects are subtle but present, so avoid wearing strong perfume or cologne, which might interfere with the multisensory experience.
Travelling with someone sensitive to motion or flashing lights? Let them watch the pre-shows and skip the flight. They can rejoin you in the lounge.
If you venture on any outdoor trail related to the museum, wear comfortable shoes and check the weather, as terrain conditions can vary.
Use the restroom before your timed entry begins. Once the experience starts, you won’t be able to leave until the end of the flight.
If you're short on time, allow at least 45 mins for the full experience, especially if combining it with another activity or a cruise.
Planning a combo day? Finish THIS IS HOLLAND first, as it’s indoors, time-controlled, and energising, making it a great kick-off for any itinerary.
