• Book a timed ticket online, since the desk only sells what's left on the day; arriving early or late is fine
• Quieter after 2pm on weekdays outside school holidays, when the start times thin out the crowds
• Under-13s need an adult with them, and some activities are only for ages 6 and up

NEMO is a hands-on science museum where kids test things for themselves. Fenomena covers light, sound and static electricity, Technium the technology around us, Elementa space and lab experiments, and Humania the human body through games and tests.

In the daily lab workshop kids put on lab coats and safety glasses for experiments with everyday objects. The roof is the highest city square in the Netherlands, with wide city views.
