Top Passive Leisure in Amsterdam

My advice is to take the stairs up if you can. The elevator line can get pretty long, and the stairwell offers fun little art exhibitions along the way!

Don't skip the rooftop bar. Happy hour is from 5 to 7 PM, and the cocktails are worth every penny – plus, the ambiance is super chill

Take the time to explore the hands-on exhibits. I initially skipped them, but I ended up having the most fun there—it’s all about engaging with science!

If you can, visit on a weekday morning around 10 a.m. to avoid the crowds; I did that, and it felt way more relaxed.

I recommend booking your escape room in advance, especially on weekends. We showed up and had to wait for a long time – total bummer!

Oh, and bring a water bottle! We got thirsty while solving puzzles and there’s no spot to grab a drink easily nearby.

My advice is not to worry if you’re a newbie. The staff are super friendly and will give you hints if you get stuck – it really helps!

Don't forget to ask the staff about their happy hour deals! I overlooked this and ended up spending way more on drinks than I needed to. It could save you some euros!

Check for online offers or discounts! I missed out on a deal when buying my tickets at the entrance, and it stung a bit. Definitely worth a quick hunt online!

my advice is to check out happy hour deals; drinks can be pricey! i saved quite a bit by going between 5-7 pm. just don't forget to ask about it first!

I think the bar can get a bit packed on weekends, so if you're not a fan of crowds, maybe visit on a weekday. We enjoyed the quieter vibe on Tuesday.
