Really Entertaining!
It’s amazing how the museum both educates and entertains at the same time. You can really learn while enjoying yourself. That said, you shouldn’t go there if you don’t like children as the place is swarmed with kids.
“Discover the world for yourself”
The NEMO Science museum offers a unique experience for both young and old with activities and exhibits on each of its five floors. With the help of interactive experiments throughout the museum, science is explained in an understandable and fun way. Unlike most museums, at NEMO you are allowed to touch nearly everything you see on display. Therefore, a day spent at NEMO Amsterdam is especially fun for kids, though the educational experience is perfect for a science lover or learner of any age. At this museum, expect to learn exciting things like how lightning works, how to build a proper bridge, and the ability to try and capture as much energy as possible from sources such as water, wind, and light!

NEMO Amsterdam is located at Oosterdok 2 which is very close to Amsterdam Central Station. When you are at Amsterdam Central Station, NEMO is very easy to recognize by its unique color and shape — just look for a copper-green building! It really is a one of a kind structure.
