Amsterdam: 75-Minute Luxury Canal Cruise with Local Skipper

Let Amsterdam’s sights come to you rather than hunt them down on foot with this 75-minute canal cruise. Rather than finding your departure point among the crowds of central Amsterdam, you'll depart from Amsterdam Noord, an industrial-turned-art-space neighbourhood famous for its good cafés and creative scene. Relax in a glass-enclosed, eco-friendly boat, avoiding the traffic and getting your bearings in the different city districts. Admire Golden Age houses and pass must-sees like the Anne Frank House and Skinny Bridge as your skipper provides commentary you’d miss if strolling around independently.

Incredible interactive museum for kids. Can be very crowded, so be prepared for a little chaos, but overall very worth it.

Olivia_T, Dec 2024

Not to miss

This was a great way to learn about so many science things! There are so many floors with different areas of science to explore. I loved exploring all of the interactive parts of the museum. Definitely highly recommend booking this when you’re next in Amsterdam. Fun for all ages! We went as a couple and had an absolute blast.

Kid friendly

Kids enjoyed a lot! They also have a mini science experiment inside a lab that you can participate. Lot of hands on experience.

Varun_S, May 2024

Wonderful and fascinating

We were pretty happy with this museum given as we came in with high expectations and compared it to some of the other museums worldwide. While relatively smaller compared to others such as London’s Natural History & Science museum, NEMO Museum had various interesting and thought-provoking exhibits which we’ve never seen elsewhere. Overall, I would highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting with younger children and our kids (9yr and 5yr) loved it!
