The museum is very interesting for the eccentricities exposed and at the same time fun for the interaction it allows to have, very advisable to take children or teenagers! The boat ride is worth it because it gives us a different view of the canals. I advise 100% this combined!

The drive through Amsterdam was very informative, but it is useful, at least in high tourist crowds, to bring some time. The visit to Ripley's was very interesting. Small minus point in the selection of the language. The information boards are only in Dutch and in English and unfortunately there are no other information brochures or audio guides. For me personally, it was not a problem, but if you do not speak the language, it's a shame because you do not understand the stories behind the exhibits.

Educational and beautiful cruise, Ripley was surprising and fun! Well chosen for my daughters of almost 12 years.
