★★★★★6 years agoWent with my sister and we cant recommend it enough. Definitely a fun thing to do in Amsterdam for practically all ages; just have energy, because the last photo op is a ball bit and its easy to spend 20 minutes in there. The whole thing is at least an hour, so great way to kill the time during the day before the night life starts. Also, sooo many cute photo opportunities!! Our museum guide was hilarious and energetic, I probably am not spelling her name right, but shout out to Tatum! The experience is worth every penny. Bring a charge phone or quality camera :)

★★★★★6 years agoVery fun museum to upgrade your social media. We were lucky we had a group of 4 people in total, so we had plenty of time to make pictures! Below some pictures, but Im not showing your everything!
