Positives:

  • Indoor and weather-proof: Fully indoors, so it’s ideal rain or shine.
  • Hands-on learning: Interactive models and treasure hunts engage kids and teach Dutch landmarks.

Challenges:

  • Dim lighting: Exhibit halls are kept dark to highlight lights; bring a small torch for toddlers.
  • Peak-time crowds: Speurtocht and restaurant play corner fill up fast on weekends and holidays.

My partner had not told me about the day and night cycle, s...

My kids age 4 and 8 loved it. I like that you can use the ticket for 99 days (I believe even 1 year if you buy something extra for 4.5€). I like that they added paw patrol and pokemon figures around the place for children to find. We will come back

The staff in the reception was nice and efficient, but not very friendly or talkative, ...

There is a restaurant (although I didn't eat there), as well as a gif...
