Located in the heart of Amsterdam, Highlights of Holland combines storytelling, technology, and interactive experiences to bring Dutch culture to life. Whether you’re visiting with children, grandparents, friends, or relatives from abroad, each room offers something new to experience together.
Highlights of Holland is designed as a shared experience that brings different generations together. Through interactive activities, storytelling, and technology, children, teens, parents, and grandparents can all discover Dutch culture in their own way while enjoying the journey together. It’s a fun and accessible family attraction where every room offers something new to explore, making it easy for visitors of all ages to stay engaged.
Capture memories on the go
The best souvenirs aren't always the things you buy; they're the moments you'll remember long after your trip is over.
During your visit, you’ll come across playful photo opportunities inspired by some of the Netherlands’ most recognizable traditions. Try on authentic Dutch costumes, step into iconic works of art, or pose in vibrant themed spaces designed to make every stop memorable. Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or on your own, you’ll leave with plenty of photos that capture your Amsterdam adventure in a unique way.
Add it to your Amsterdam itinerary
One of the biggest advantages of Highlights of Holland is how easily it fits into your day.
Spend the morning strolling through the Jordaan, shopping at local stores, or enjoying a boat tour before stopping by for an experience that won’t take up your entire afternoon. Afterward, continue exploring Amsterdam’s cafés, museums, restaurants, or nightlife at your own pace. Its central location and manageable duration make it an easy addition to virtually any itinerary.
A day trip you'll never forget
What makes an attraction great isn't just what you see—it's how it makes you feel.
Instead of rushing from one exhibit to the next, you’ll find yourself laughing, exploring, and discovering the stories behind Dutch traditions in unexpected ways. It’s an experience that appeals to visitors of all ages, whether you’re visiting Amsterdam for the first time or returning to see the city from a different perspective.
By the time you leave, you’ll have experienced much more than a typical museum visit. You’ll go home with new stories to tell, memorable photos to look back on, and a fresh appreciation for the culture, creativity, and character that make the Netherlands so special.
Perfect for kids
Children learn best through play, curiosity, and discovery, and that’s exactly what Highlights of Holland offers. Instead of reading information panels, they hop aboard a boat, bike through colorful tunnels, solve challenges inside a windmill, and explore giant tulips that make them feel like they’ve stepped into a fairy tale. Every room stimulates imagination, movement, and interaction, making learning about the Netherlands feel like one big adventure. The best part? Most children won’t even realize they’re learning.
Parents can also participate
Unlike many children’s attractions, Highlights of Holland is designed just as much for adults as it is for children. Parents don’t just watch, they join in. You bike together, laugh together, take photos together, and experience Dutch culture as a family. The interactive nature of each room naturally encourages teamwork and shared moments that become lasting memories. Instead of everyone doing their own thing, it’s an experience you enjoy together.
A great activity for grandparents
"Highlights of Holland" isn't just for young families. Grandparents love sharing the experience with younger generations, whether it’s dressing up in traditional Dutch costumes, discovering familiar traditions, or watching the younger family members race through each interactive room. With a comfortable pace, engaging storytelling, and an accessible design, it’s an enjoyable outing for visitors of all ages.
Capture unforgettable memories
Some attractions leave you with a souvenir. Highlights of Holland leaves you with memories and dozens of photos you’ll really want to share. From standing among giant tulips and becoming part of history while your photo is painted by famous Dutch artists to posing in traditional costumes and feeling the energy of King’s Day celebrations, every room is designed to create fun, interactive, and photogenic moments that you’ll remember long after your visit.
