It's a great place, though I went on the day when it was foggy, I couldn't enhoithe real scenic beauty. But this place would give you what the Dutch water management is and how critical and challenging was it to deal with . The old 16th and 17th century windmills are extraordinary and still working to keep the water level at a safe limit. Also the movie of Kinderdijk ( Childern of dykee) is an interesting one. You could also see how ppl used to and live nearby and in the windmills. They are called the " MILLERS" lovely ppl and quite interesting to learn from them

a lot of variety in proposed museums... everything very easily accessible. One downside: Amaze: if you just wanted to book, there was still enough room, but if you wanted to book through Go City, everything turned out to be full. We thought this was a pity, because this would have been very nice for our teenager. The other museums we have done... very nice and interactive

Great range of activities to choose from and great value for money. Easy to organise, lots of information given to explain how to use it. Once set up, all you do is show up, show them the Go City app info and enjoy the activity.

This was super cool!! BUT make sure they put you on the right bus as I was directed to the wrong one so I didn’t get to do the cruise.. however keukenhoff is absolutely beautiful and an amazing experience!!

It's a very good app, it pays of a lot if you are planning to enjoy more than two attractions. Very easy to use. Recommended!
