Upside down Amsterdam
The Upside down seems to be a world that has gone a bit off the rails! Because the sofa is hanging from the ceiling, as is the dressing table! But in the end, it’s all a question of perspective 😀
The Upside Down is kind of a different museum. We think it can offer a little change of pace for families with children (+8), but it’s also great for changing your Instagram profile or making a great TikTok video!
For everyone: charge your mobile phone beforehand and free up enough memory!
My Rating:
The Positives:
It's fun to jump into the ball pool and try out the different backdrops! The inner child is awakened here!
The negatives:
The Upside Down is very expensive. Precisely because of this high price, at least the scenery should be maintained accordingly - but you can see a lot of wear and tear in places... The location is also a bit out of the way.
Tip:
Attention: There is also a restaurant with the same name! It is located in the north of Amsterdam - but the MUSEUM is in the SOUTH!
Take your time at the end of the visit to print the pictures you made on the machines or send them via Mail!

WHAT IS THERE
TO SEE?
It’s all a question of perspective. Nowhere is this statement truer than at the Upside Down in Amsterdam.
After a brief introduction by an employee at the entrance to the attraction, you enter a world that seems to have gone off the rails. The Upside Down creates different themed worlds and plays with perspectives, proportions and lighting effects. Information boards at each attraction tell you which attribute of Amsterdam inspired this themed world. I don’t want to give too much away, but you can expect a gigantic ball pool, a hall of mirrors, a vortex tunnel and you can take a seat on board a private jet.
Unlike in other museums, you are not just a spectator here, but an irreplaceable part of the attraction. The rooms and themed worlds are the canvas on which you can stage yourselves. A little sportiness is required, but above all creativity. Just have fun.
At some stations, there are permanently installed cameras with self-timer. Simply scan the QR code from your admission ticket, quickly strike a pose before the countdown is over and you’ll have your picture. These are saved and you can take them home with you at the end of your visit.
If you’re still struggling to let yourself go in public, there’s another highlight of the Upside Down waiting for you: a gigantic walk-in wardrobe from which you can help yourself to whatever you like and slip into different roles. You shouldn’t be afraid of garish colours and wild patterns here. Dressed up like this, even the shyest visitor will come out of their shell.
After so much creative “work”, you can fortify yourself in the in-house café. On Fridays and Saturdays, live DJs play there from 5 pm, and you can enjoy cocktails at happy hour.
But don’t forget to pick up your photos at one of the photo printers. You can have them sent to your e-mail address as a file for free or have them printed on site for an extra charge.
CONCLUSION
If you are planning to visit the Upside Down, you should definitely enjoy having your photo taken and not take yourself too seriously. If you’re afraid of the camera, it’s better to choose another attraction in Amsterdam. Children will undoubtedly have fun in the colourful worlds.
Unfortunately, there are no examples or explanations of how best to pose at the stations. The backdrops provided are amusing, but some of them are showing signs of wear and tear or defects. This is not noticeable in the pictures, but a little attention to detail would still be nice.

Celine went with the kids!
…and they loved it! We spent so long in the first few rooms that we almost had to rush through at the end because the museum was closing! You can read more about it in this report! Enjoy!
