Presenting the winner of the category Best Museum for Families in Amsterdam:
Nemo Science Museum
NEMO, the 2016 and 2017 winner of Best Museum for families, is back. This unique museum in Amsterdam’s harbor continues to promise family fun for all ages. Bring the kids to create huge soap bubbles, make computers talk, learn how a phone works, watch a chain reaction demonstration, push buttons and pull levers to find the relationship between action and reaction.

The roof terrace at the top of the building makes for a nice break for lunch or a snack.
