Which NEMO Science Museum combo to book
NEMO is Amsterdam's hands-on science museum, in the green, ship-shaped building by the water near Central Station. It's built for children and curious adults, and the combos lean the same way.
First day in Amsterdam. NEMO + Lovers Canal Cruise is the most reviewed NEMO combo. The cruise starts at Central Station, so you can do the boat in the morning and walk over to NEMO after.
Ships and science. NEMO + National Maritime Museum is the best fit on a map: the Scheepvaartmuseum is a short walk along the waterfront. Good for a full day of museums with kids.
Animals. ARTIS Royal Zoo + NEMO pairs the science museum with the zoo in the Plantage district, a tram ride or longer walk away. Its few reviews are all top marks.
Theme park trip. NEMO + Efteling combines two very different days: a museum in town and the fairy-tale theme park in the south of the country. Plan them as separate days.
Indoor play. NEMO + Playhood Indoor Playground has low ratings from its few reviews, so read them before booking.

Is a combo cheaper than separate tickets?
Each NEMO bundle is slightly cheaper than buying the two tickets separately. The saving is modest; the real gain is booking both visits in one go, which helps in school holidays when NEMO gets busy.
How the tickets work
You book once and receive a separate ticket for each part on your phone. Pick a date for NEMO and a date, plus a time where asked, for the second attraction. The cruise runs on a schedule, so check departure times. Cancellation can differ per part, so read the conditions on the booking page.
