NEMO's rooftop square is free to enter and opens later on Thursdays in summer, useful for a light Amsterdam evening with children.

What you need to know

If you want a short Amsterdam family stop without buying full museum tickets, NEMO's rooftop is a useful option. It gives children space, views, and a simple city-centre break.



  • Time and place: NEMO Science Museum Dakplein, Oosterdok 2, Amsterdam; Thursdays are longer in summer, with daytime opening on regular days.
  • Price and conditions: rooftop access is free; museum exhibitions require separate tickets; weather can affect the visit.
  • Before you go: check the day's hours and weather, and be mindful of stairs, wind, and sun exposure with children.


Hokimi field note: This free spot works best after errands in the city centre. Plan 45 to 60 minutes rather than a full museum day.
